How To Master Sports-Luxe Style: 6 Pieces Everyone Should Own

How To Master Sports-Luxe Style: 6 Pieces Everyone Should Own

  • Next Luxury / Style, Fashion
  • by — Aobh O'Brien-Moody

With the rise of athleisure wear in recent years, sports-luxe style is having a serious moment. And it’s not hard to see why. The trend prioritizes comfort and essentially means getting to wear sweats outside of the house (or gym). What’s not to love? But the trend is deceptively tricky. Scroll on for a breakdown of sports-luxe style, including what it actually means and how to master it. 

 

What Is Sports-Luxe Style? 

Fusing comfort and elegance, sports-luxe translates to elevated and contemporary casual wear that draws on the styles and silhouettes of traditional sportswear but adds a refined twist. Rather than the performance-enhancing polyesters and nylons that you’ll find in a typical gym kit, sports-luxe makes use of luxurious fabrics like dense loopback cotton, cashmere-blends, and soft merino wool. Footwear and accessories are pared-back for understated sophistication. Think all your favorites like hoodies, sweatpants, sneakers, and tees, just upgraded for a smarter look and more luxurious feel.

How To Wear the Sports-Luxe Trend

Unlike regular sportswear, sports-luxe isn’t limited to working out. This is versatile smart casual clothing that can transcend occasions–from a casual Friday in the office to a Saturday night out with friends. The key to nailing sports-luxe style is balancing a sporty piece or two with other more minimalist staples. For example, team a plain tee with tapered sweatpants, white sneakers, and a denim jacket, or try elevating your everyday hoodie by adding tailored trousers and classic leather trainers.
