Since the 1990s, the sporty-chic style has dressed millions of girls and women around the world. This Fall/Winter 2023-2024 season, it is back in the limelight again: practical and fashionable, it seems to be something that cannot be renounced. Dressing comfortably but stylishly is something that is now necessary: our lives are hectic, often messy, and running after transport is easier if you have a trainer on your feet than a heel!
So away with the suits, more and more girls and young women are opting for a sporty-chic style: but how exactly do you recreate this type of outfit? We at Fratinardi are ready to explain it to you step by step!
Jumpsuits? Never looked so chic!
Jumpsuits are a must-have for this style: a base from which to start and to modify according to one’s personal taste, including accessories, shoes and more!
4Giveness, a brand of excellence for those who choose to follow this style, provides us with numerous garments, but it is not the only one:
The dress, also from this brand, is comfortable and chic. Perfect both for going to work and for going out with friends on more informal evenings:
Trainers but not only
For a perfect sporty-chic style, trainers are a must: they are often simple and devoid of any superfluous decoration. Like the Hogan H-Stripes, whose design is based precisely on the urban fashion, increasingly followed by girls and boys:
Geox are also following this fashion, with the new Spherica. They too are very simple in design, monochrome except for a few details, with a ball sole that distinguishes them from other shoes and makes them unique:
However, it is limiting to think that these are the only shoes that can match this style. Also popular are Dr. Martens, not laced up tightly, but left loose to follow the line of the suit:
Along with these, many other amphibians are chosen by girls and women who choose this style: Valleverde, NeroGiardini and Cult have created some fantastic ones! Perfect for this style, very comfortable to wear and sure not to make you go unnoticed!
Also interesting is the combination with Freddy’s puff trainers! Here in Italy we have seen them with the dancers of Maria de Filippi’s ‘Amici‘, but they are an excellent alternative to the classic shoes, especially for those who want to have a more eccentric style far removed from conventional fashions:
The quilts are perfect… and the coats too!
To stay in theme with a sporty style, the ideal are definitely down jackets: soft, warm and chic as never before!
4Giveness, Marella and Canadian have made some fantastic ones that keep you warm but always in style. Whether you want them long or short, coloured or not, they are perfect for this style and more.
But why limit yourself to down jackets when coats lend themselves very well to this style? Especially when they are knee-length!
So, let’s banish the use of coats only on elegant outfits: they are a garment that really goes well with everything and over everything (even over swimwear, actually, but we’ll avoid that for obvious reasons)!
Attention to detail!
To complete your sporty-chic style, it is important to pay attention to details: bags never go unnoticed, so it is good to choose them carefully. Luckily, these outfits give us endless possibilities. From hobo bags to backpacks, we have so much to choose from.
Depending on whether you want an aperitif look or a work look, then, we can range with hobo minibags, like those by Ermanno Scervino, to be carried on the shoulder for a casual yet chic outfit:
Or backpacks, especially in leather, which give the look a much more casual tone, suitable for those who have to go to the office or university. Available in other colours, in addition to those we are about to show you, we offer the following models:
Shoulder bags are also a viable alternative: perfect for those who prefer smaller bags but not shoulder bags:
For colder weather, then, hats are a must to protect your forehead and ears from the wind (watch out, eh! Sinusitis is just around the corner). Liu Jo, Furla and 4Giveness offer many in beanie style, even with a pompom for the more whimsical, perfect for the winter months and to complete your look.
To these, you cannot fail to combine a scarf or a foulard. From plain-coloured ones to the more unusual ones with prints, they will complete your winter look and make you tres-chic!
Conclusion
In conclusion, sporty chic is more than a trend, it is a true statement of authenticity. Experiment, dare and embrace your uniqueness without being afraid to appear what you are not. With a harmonious mix of comfort and sophistication, turn every day into an opportunity to express who you are, boldly, effortlessly and eternally chic. When you embrace sporty chic, you’re not just wearing clothes, you’re telling your story!
