If you’re like me and really never go out in anything other then jeans or a skirt, it’s time to break away from your shell and try the sporty look, I’m telling you you’re gonna love it. However, before you go diving in and think there’s no way I’m stepping out of the house looking like a tomboy, don’t worry! That’s definitely not what’s gonna happen! There’s just a few things you need to keep in mind when shopping for athletic pieces.
Figure Out The Right Color Scheme For You
For me personally, really bright pops of color like neons don’t work on my skin tone. So especially when it comes to any kind of athletic pieces, I know to stay clear from them. I’m not saying that if you have very light skin you shouldn’t go for bright colors, not at all! I just know that whenever I try them on I just don’t like the look, it doesn’t suit my style. I think that anyone with olive or tanner skin colors look absolutely amazing in bright colors, I have to tell you I get quite jealous!
Accessorize
Once you’ve figured out what colors you want to start your collection with, this is when accessorizing comes into play. Every time you step out of the house wearing something sporty, this doesn’t mean you’re actually going to play sports or work out right?! Sometimes you just want to go to class or meet with a friend feeling comfortable but still looking cute. This is when I say you can have fun with the accessories. Throw on a leather jacket or have a cute designer bag that’s much more stylish and chic to play up the look. I always find that it’s in the details where you can really put a look together.
Finding The Right Shoes
I have to say no matter what the look, the shoe is so important, I can’t stress that enough! If you really want to go for an athletic shoe then definitely step out in a pair of running shoes if that’s the look you’re going for. However, if you want to go for a sporty look that’s a bit more edgy I would totally suggest the Nike sneaker wedge, or any sneaker wedge for that matter. I know it may seem like I’m sponsoring Nike in this post but I’m not I promise! I just have to say they’re really on point when it comes to their clothing. I can’t tell you how many occasions these sneaker wedges have come in handy and believe it or not when it’s really cold out, they’re super warm!
I really hope that some of these tips were helpful when it comes to dressing more relaxing and comfortable. I’m definitely gonna step out of my comfort zone and start dressing more relaxed on days when I know I’m on the go. The most important thing when trying out any new look is to remember that you have to wear what makes you feel comfortable!
