2. Sports pants and leggings

As for the pants, you have different choices according to how you choose to match them. For example, if you choose to wear more or less revisited leggings or sweatpants (perhaps made more glamorous and decorated, but with a clear sporty cut), it will be better to avoid wearing them with sneakers, because you will need chic elements to balance the your look. You can always decide to be sporty from the waist down, and chic at the top of your look, but it would create the wrong effect. Better practice the ability to mix everything: you may find that sports pants together with heels are perfect! With elegant trousers, however, you are free to wear sneakers and running.

If you're wearing a fitted crop top, similar to an athlete's, you could pair it with a fitted jacket or trouser suit. If you choose a sweatshirt, a good match could be with a midi skirt and sandals or boots with heels ...

Oversized coats tied at the waist, also called dressing gowns, create that soft and relaxed look that is often associated with sporty chic, made up of wide and comfortable trousers, wide shoes like running shoes, and in general an alternating game of wide and snug that creates the best surprises.

For the outerwear chapter, the bomber deserves a separate discussion. Legacy of American sports associations, it soon became a cult of sports enthusiasts and more, learning about street style closer to rock but also preppy style. For sporty chic, therefore, the bomber is an inevitable element, and it does everything by itself: just combine it with a formal and elegant look and you're done. If, on the other hand, you don't like simple things, try mixing it with sports pants, having fun looking for the balance in glamorous accessories such as a clutch bag or sandals with heels.
