Designers go for luxury sportswear

One of the more wearable trends this season is 'sportswear luxe.' Catwalk designers ranging from Dries van Noten to Lanvin added a sporty edge to their otherwise glamorous collections. Zip up, bright parka-style jackets in fluorescent tones were seen worn with skinny trousers or shorter than short skirts. All in one short-and-vests, such as at Derek Lam or at Denim of Virtue are sexy for day and very now.

Sportswear is now as much about luxury as it is about comfort, and dare we say sport and exercise seem to take a back seat to fashionability. Tracksuit bottoms and oversized tees should therefore be kept in the back of the wardrobe, or better yet, given to charity. In other words, a relaxed but luxurious feminine take on sportswear is what will keep you ahead of the game.
