7 Sportswear Trends to Try for the New Year
Experimental Necklines
This year, athletic fashion is about ditching your standard tank tops and playing with fun necklines instead. One-shoulder workout tops and sports bras are making an appearance, but you can opt for a daring V-neck as well. Go the plunging neckline route if you’re trying to make a statement at the gym, or keep it soft and simple with a sweetheart neckline.
Playing around with chic golf tops and fun necklines is a great way to add spunk to your existing wardrobe. Pair your bold tops with solid leggings or some flared fit pants to lend an effortless punch of style to your workout look.
Flared Bottoms
This popular Y2K fashion statement is here to stay. As one of the most well-loved athletic silhouettes recently, flared pants are showing up in almost every woman’s wardrobe. So why not carry this latest trend into your sportswear too?
Flared leggings are extremely flattering on almost every body type. Coupled with some cute golf shirts or tennis tops, your flared workout pants will give you the extra burst of confidence that you’ve been needing to ace your next game or workout class. This relaxed silhouette is also great for transitioning your look to a post-game lunch or coffee with your workout buddy.
Dance Active Wear
When we say dance-inspired athletic fashion– think bodysuits, strappy tank tops, and snug tights. Not only do these make for stylish silhouettes, but they are also the best options for layering under skorts, or woolens for winter workouts. Wearing dance inspired activewear can also unlock your confidence and an effortless sense of movement.
Active Accessories
If you’re not in the mood to revamp your entire wardrobe or simply want to play it safe – we understand. But you can still keep up with the coming year’s athletic fashion trends by switching up a few elements in your activewear kit.
For those looking to tweak their look by increments, playing around with incorporating activewear accessories into your outfits, is a surefire way to switch it up without doing a lot of hard work or breaking the bank. Reach for sleek hats and statement socks, or look for colorful sweatbands and water bottles. Something as simple as a scarf or a pair of sunglasses can also elevate your golf outfit in an instant.
Bold Color Blocking
Another big trend this new year is bold color blocking. Gone are the days when a monochromatic outfit was a must at the gym. This new year, nailing athletic fashion is all about being imperfectly perfect with fun colors and mixed paletes.
This latest sportswear trend gives you the liberty to make the most of your existing athletic sets by mixing and matching them to create fresh new looks. You can also carry it forward with color blocked socks and footwear, or with bold colored outerwear and jackets on the golf course.
Y2K Layering
This is yet another Y2K trend that has made a comeback. Embrace the look by layering tank tops and full sleeved tops for a look of intrigue. This is also a handy way to keep the cold at bay as you gear up for the season of winter workouts and redefine your athletic fashion.
Refined Outerwear
Heading for a winter workout and not sure what to wear? This new year, take a fresh approach to staying warm. Ditch your ratty old hoodie – instead, try switching things up with a refined golf jacket or a smart gilet. These are functional additions to your wardrobe that will keep you snug and cozy, in style.
