Four ways to elevate athleisure
STYLE26 七月 2023
As the world turns its eyes to a season of sport, our Personal Shoppers share their tips on how to make your activewear work beyond the gym.
The hoodie

“There’s nothing better than being able to incorporate comfort into our everyday look and a hoodie is the perfect piece to do this,” says Natalie Carlisle, Personal Shopper at Bicester Village. "Fabric is key. Invest in a great composition – be it cotton for summer or cashmere for the colder months – and this item will stay in your wardrobe forever. Smarten it up with a skirt or a cigarette-style trouser teamed with a denim jacket and, come the evening, switch to a leather biker silhouette.”

“Stick to a palette of neutral colours like navy, grey, or white to keep your style elevated.”

The polo shirt

“By day, pair your polo shirt with tailored shorts or perfectly-cut jeans – dark denim works well – and offset with loafers or flats,” suggests May Wriedt, Personal Shopper at Ingolstadt Village. “As evening falls, style the sports classic with a sleek pencil skirt and a structured handbag to lend sophistication. For a smart-casual alternative to men’s eveningwear, swap a dress shirt for a polo shirt and layer it with a blazer, pleated chinos and classic loafers."

A winning combination
The cycling short

“My top tip for staying chic and comfortable? Choose soft-touch shorts in neutral tones or black and with minimal branding,” says Anne-Laure, Personal Shopper at La Vallée Village. “Mix and match with an oversized blazer and a crop top and style with sandals, or your favourite sneakers, for an ensemble that’ll work whether you’re running errands or at a rooftop bar. Remember, bike shorts are incredibly versatile, so feel free to experiment with different jackets or accessories to create your unique style.”

“Style with a crisp white shirt, high-waisted denim, a blazer and a pair of ballerinas for polished ease.”

The baseball cap

“Almost any sports accessory can be styled for on and off duty – the trick is to create balance with complementing finishes,” advises La Roca Village’s Personal Shopping Manager, Jamal Sinno. “A baseball cap can be worn with a formal suit, for example, but the key to making it work is to add a pair of cool sneakers and shades. The fashion faux pas to avoid? A baseball cap with formal shoes or heels.”
