Is it possible to wear a tracksuit with ballet shoes? Women's sweatpants: how to wear and look fashionable How to wear sportswear correctly

Sportswear has long been established in our wardrobe: now, in order to wear a T-shirt, running sneakers or tennis shoes, it is not at all necessary to play football, running or tennis (in vain, of course, but this is not the point now).

First of all, it's just beautiful. Secondly, it’s convenient. Especially on vacation, on a picnic, on a hike or on a walk.

We asked fashion professionals six questions about how to wear sportswear, and got detailed answers.

1. What - and why - objects Are sportswear appropriate in everyday life?

2. In what combinations should I wear them? What is better: a sporty total look (yoga pants, running top, sneakers, etc.) or should such clothes be combined with elements in other styles?

3. Why total sport look sometimes looks funny? What can't be combined? How to dress in sportswear without looking like a housewife going out to the store?

4. If you wear jeggings or leggings, how long should the top be?

5. In what cases Sportswear is appropriate, but which ones are not?

6. And finally, the most interesting: Is it possible to wear sportswear if you have an unathletic figure?

, stylist, host of the “Beauty Embassy” program

1. Sports style is increasingly penetrating the everyday wardrobe. And very good: for example, sneakers combined with a dress are now not only comfortable and convenient, but also stylish! The number one thing is sneakers. And besides them - a T-shirt, a tank top, a bomber jacket, and for girls - leggings and jeggings. These things no longer evoke direct associations with sports.

2. Since I myself am a big fan of sneakers, I advise men to wear them not only with jeans and shorts, but also with classic suits. And girls can easily combine sneakers with skirts and light dresses. T-shirts and tank tops generally go perfectly with any thing.

For guys, it's simple: a light T-shirt is a great alternative to a classic shirt. But for girls, the sport-chic style appeared not so long ago.

It is in this style that seemingly incongruous things are combined. For example, a voluminous T-shirt and a classic pencil skirt, a short bomber jacket and a fluffy skirt from the 60s. All this can be spiced up with sneakers. There are a huge number of interesting combinations, but I would advise you to avoid the sporty total-look. There is a gym for him.

3. When people put on leather classic bags or sandals while wearing a tracksuit, it looks comical. It is then that the association with a housewife going out to buy bread appears.

4. Just a couple of days ago I followed a girl on the street who was walking in leggings and a white shirt. The shirt barely reached the middle of her buttocks, and I was tempted to tell her that she forgot her skirt.

I think that, after all, the top in combination with leggings and jeggings should be below the hips. Then the image will not look vulgar.

5. About relevance. Some people will be able to easily fit a T-shirt or sneakers even into their work dress code. And some people think that it is inappropriate to go to the store in this form. So it all depends on the person. If you don’t consider a tracksuit, then everything else is appropriate in almost any situation, except, of course, for offices with a strict dress code and also interviews.

6. Jeggings and leggings - of course not! But voluminous T-shirts will hide figure flaws, for example, in combination with a full skirt. So just remember to look in the mirror when choosing clothes.

1. Any sportswear can be appropriate as long as it looks good and suits you.

2. Pants with WRUP technology, which creates a push-up effect and visually slims the hips, can be worn around the clock and the way you like. With heels they are suitable for a club party, and with sneakers and a sweatshirt - for training or a walk in the park. The secret of these trousers is in special seams and silicone inserts that make any figure perfect.

3. It is better to choose clothes that are designed specifically for not only playing sports, but also, for example, relaxing. In our company, we call this the word slunge (sport + lounge) - this is the art of combining relaxation and composure, comfort and fashion: the result is clothes that are comfortable and functional like sportswear, but look like casual.

4. Strictly speaking, if you are not training, it is better to choose elongated items.

5. A sporty look is inappropriate only in situations that require a strict dress code. In all other cases, feel free to choose a combination of beauty and comfort!

6. Wear what suits you and makes you feel good. And figure flaws are corrected with the help of sports and modern technologies: for example, the already mentioned trousers that form the ideal silhouette.

1. Sneakers and sneakers have long been established in our wardrobe. A familiar combination: a light dress and colored sneakers; Even at fashion weeks, many fashion editors prefer sneakers to heels. Crop tops became popular last season: wide trousers, a loose jacket and a short sports top are a trendy look from the 90s this summer.

2. Fashion today is democratic. Any sports item can be organically integrated into your wardrobe. A T-shirt dress with leggings, a midi or maxi skirt with sneakers and a cropped top, a sports parka (long warm jacket) and heeled pumps - there are many successful combinations. Just leave the sporty total look for the gym.

3. Any image must correspond not only to trends, but also to the situation. You can combine anything, but wearing a sports top to a classical music concert at the Philharmonic will not be very appropriate.

But if you wear an oversized silk jacket over it, it will change the look for the better.

4. When choosing the length of the top, you need to take into account the characteristics of your figure. It is important to maintain proportions. If you have long slender legs and sculpted abs, you can only rely on your mood and the weather. If you don’t want to emphasize, for example, wide hips, then it’s better to choose a long top or sweatshirt.

5. Always use common sense: while walking in sneakers, leggings and a hoodie you will be very comfortable, but at the opening of a museum of modern art you will most likely feel awkward.

6. Of course, everyone can wear sportswear. The main thing is to maintain proportions.

1. Although sportswear has long been a part of street style, it is important how much it is actually intended for sports. Showing up in swimming trunks in the heat on a city street is inappropriate. Sports bras and leggings are also best left for attending workouts. And for people who value comfort and convenience, but at the same time want to look cool, there is a separate Sportstyle line.

These are cotton hoodies, sweatshirts, trousers and jackets, which are created using “breathable” materials.

2. Mixing styles is in fashion. Sneakers can even be combined with beautiful summer dresses. Another trend is the popularization of running, thanks to which more and more often you can find running elements in the everyday style of fashionistas: wristbands, phone cases on hand, running leggings combined with a dress or long shorts, Lifestyle sneakers with retro running silhouettes or even just running sneakers .

3. Relevance is important. A girl in a plush tracksuit and evening makeup on a date at the best restaurant in the city will look comical. But if the question arises about using a sporty total look in everyday life, then the clothing of the Lifestyle lines of sports brands is created taking into account the desire of people to look “sporty” stylish. Therefore, for example, a sweatshirt or T-shirt combined with an unusual sneaker design (like the Trinomic R698) will look impressive.

4. Balance the tight bottom with a loose-fitting top. Jeggings or leggings will go well, for example, with a long top or even a short polo dress. But, of course, if your figure allows, feel free to show off your perfect abs by adding a crop top to your look.

5. Overtly sporty items should not be worn if you are working for a company with a strict official business dress code or if you are attending a black tie party.

In all other cases, be guided by your own feelings and sense of proportion.

6. Modern sports brands try to create collections for people with different body types. And in general, sportswear is created precisely so that in the end the physique becomes athletic!

Modern fashion allows us a lot, but even in such a democratic world we need talent and a sense of beauty to harmoniously combine the incongruous.

website collected 10 key style mistakes based on the example of celebrities that should be avoided.

1. Two or more oversized items in one look

Freedom and convenience are in fashion, so it is not surprising that oversized items have been at the peak of popularity for several seasons now. But you should avoid combining two loose-fitting items, otherwise you risk turning into a shapeless figure. A few rules:

• The item should be 2 sizes larger. If you are tall, you can choose clothes 3-4 sizes larger than you.
• Best colors- neutral and pastel.
• Don't overload your look with accessories.

2. Sheer tights + winter clothes

Do not imitate models on the catwalks, who often show fur coats in nylon tights or without them at all. This stylistic idea is fundamentally at odds with the realities of ordinary life.
Rules for wearing warm tights with classic clothes:

• Thick tights in light colors look great on the catwalk, but usually don't look good in real life. Give preference to dark colors.
• If you choose a dark-colored dress and black shoes, do not wear sheer nude tights. Give preference to thick black tights.
• The pattern on tights should not “cut” the leg horizontally with a striped pattern or sharp color transitions, because such an effect makes legs shorter and wider.
• Modern fashion allows us to break the rule: the more “airy” your dress looks, the thinner and more inconspicuous your tights should be.

3. Leather pants + leather boots + leather jacket

Leather items have long taken pride of place in our wardrobe. But we must remember that the best is the enemy of the good. To avoid being accused of lack of taste, we offer an alternative:

• Leather pants can be replaced with black skinny trousers(dark jeans), complement with a long chiffon blouse and pumps.
• A win-win combination There will be leather trousers + a white T-shirt, a denim shirt and moccasins.
• Play with contrasts. A rough biker jacket and a dress made of light chiffon are a surprisingly harmonious image.
• If you want to add openwork top and sandals leather trousers, then choose a product made of matte leather.

4. Beret + sports jacket

There is no more incompatible option than a beret and a down jacket. But most often difficulties arise when choosing a headdress for a sports jacket or down jacket, and this is why such a mistake arises. Here's what will perfectly complement a down jacket:

• Knitted set of scarf, mittens and hat.
• Hat with ear flaps. It will be great if the fur on it matches the color and quality of the fur on the down jacket.
• Snood. It will replace both a hat and a warm scarf.

5. Sweatpants + pumps

This combination was spotted by fashion designers of famous houses, but you need to understand that the runway version looks strange in everyday life. So how to wear sweatpants and look cool?

• Will look best loafers, combat boots and other men's style shoes.
• Do you want a heel? Then It is better to choose shoes with massive heels.
• Combination of sports trousers and jacket. Choose non-cotton pants, and made of genuine leather and complement the look with a white T-shirt.

6. Short top + leggings instead of jeans or trousers

Leggings are a controversial wardrobe item, but still have a right to exist. However, you should not combine it with a short top. What to wear with leggings:

• Long shirts, tunics and sweaters, and short dresses are suitable.
• Pay attention to the material of the leggings: it should be dense and non-transparent.

7. Wedge sneakers + skinny jeans

Wedge sneakers were in fashion 5-7 years ago. When paired with skinny jeans, they begin to resemble a hoof. What shoes to choose for skinny jeans:

• Elegant stiletto heels.
• Short ankle boots in high heels.
• Suede boots paired with a turtleneck sweater.

8. Knee-length skirt + knee-length boots

Just five years ago, it was almost impossible to imagine that the CEO of any large company would appear at a conference or business meeting in sneakers. Street style heroes were the first to wear sports shoes with coats and suits. And then they increasingly abandoned shirts in favor of T-shirts and jackets in favor of sweatshirts.

When someone talks about tracksuits, the same classic adidas suit that was created in Germany back in 1967 immediately comes to mind. The adidas Three Stripes suit has become a sporty take on the classic three-piece suit. And now it is a symbol of fashion and style in Europe and the USA in the 70s.

The adidas Three Stripes suit has become a sporty take on the classic three-piece suit.

In Russia, everything was much more complicated (as always). We didn’t have any adidas suits - the Iron Curtain strictly regulated Soviet fashion. And sportswear was worn only at the dacha and in sanatoriums. When smuggling had its way during the period of glasnost and perestroika, only avid fans of Western style wore tracksuits - and then, of course, not for official or business events.

In the second half of the 80s, tracksuits were reborn thanks to American rappers. In their videos, they wore adidas in the most unusual colors - purple, light green, yellow - combining these suits with accessories and sneakers from luxury brands. This is how a completely new image of the gentleman-hooligan appeared. And, of course, it was picked up all over the world extremely quickly.

Stage No. 3

What a top, what a bottom - sporty

We are ready for this. And you too. It's time to go out in a tracksuit (but it's still better not to start with a black tie dinner). The main rule is to follow the color scheme. What color is the sweatshirt, so are the trousers. In the advertising campaign for the latest adidas adicolor collection, the brand encouraged us to mix trousers and sweatshirts of different colors - we are not yet ready to support such an idea. We also advise you to put aside your sneakers - it’s better to wear sneakers (leather or suede) with a tracksuit. This will make the look more casual.

Don't forget about accessories that will give your sporty look some completeness. These details can be a good watch on a rubber strap or steel bracelet. It’s still better to refrain from wearing gold Rolexes – you shouldn’t imitate American rappers in everything. If you are a fan of the Apple Watch, then you can wear it with a tracksuit and with a silicone strap.

And which ones are only appropriate for a morning jog or a workout at the fitness club?

Bomber: for every day

The bomber jacket is a must-have for 2018 and the only lightweight sporty jacket that can be worn with anything. Some fashionistas wear it over a classic jacket.

A white T-shirt with or without a print, straight jeans or skinny chinos, sneakers (read which ones below) and a bomber jacket - a cool everyday look is ready. A bomber jacket is a win-win basis for a sporty look.

There are plenty to choose from:

Olympic jersey: for sports only

Twenty years ago, every self-respecting man wore an Olympic jersey both during sports and on any occasion. Alas, times have passed, and now the Olympic jersey is associated only with the uniform of daring guys from criminal areas. We conclude: it is good for evening workouts and cycling, but not for a day walk or meeting with friends.

Sneakers: for every day

What does “sneakers for every day” mean? That is, not intended for sports. Major brands (Adidas, Nike, Reebok) divide sneakers into categories: for fitness, running, crossfit, dancing, and so on. Such models should not be worn for a walk around the city or taken with you on a trip.

There are plenty to choose from:

You can find comfortable sneakers for daily walks in the shoe and accessories store.

Specialized sneakers: for sports only

Special sneakers are intended only for training. And nothing else. For example, running shoes have good cushioning, and CrossFit models have an insert to securely hold the foot during strength exercises.

Straight cut shorts: for every day

Ruining your look with the wrong shorts is a simple matter.

Features of universal men's shorts:

• The length is just above the knee. The key word is “slightly”, do not buy ultra-short models.
• Color: blue, beige, mustard, burgundy, khaki and other muted shades.
• Material - thick cotton.
• Width - average. Wide shorts look sloppy, very narrow shorts look too feminine.
• Lack of decorative details. A couple of pockets - nothing more is needed. These are exactly the kind of shorts you can wear in warm weather (yes, we forgot about denim ones - they are cool too).

There are plenty to choose from:

Buy real men's shorts of the required length, made of denim and cotton, at a mono-brand clothing store.

Note:. offers many stylish, lightweight and comfortable shorts. You will definitely find a successful model!

Short wide shorts: for sports only

Above we described the qualities of the right men's shorts. Do sports shorts meet these criteria? No! Shorts for sports are short, wide and not made of cotton. Yes, they are comfortable to run and walk in, but that doesn’t mean you can wear them to a movie or a restaurant.

Polo T-shirt: for every day

The polo shirt was designed to be used for sports and was originally worn as part of the uniform worn by professional golfers and tennis players. The first was the French tennis player Rene Lacoste - we thank him for the Lacoste brand, the second was the English tennis player Frederic Perry - and now we know the Fred Perry brand.

Over the years, this elegant three-button T-shirt with a turn-down collar has moved from the world of sports to the world of fashion. Now a polo T-shirt is a must-have item in a man's basic wardrobe. We boldly declare: it can be worn every day. By the way, this year.

There are plenty to choose from:

Tight top: for sports only

But the T-shirt, as it was purely sportswear, remains so. Only men with perfect body shape can wear such T-shirts - and then preferably only while jogging or on the beach, and not on a romantic date.

Loose fit knitted trousers: for every day

Some men know only three types of trousers: classic from a suit, sports and. Everything is logical: firstly, we go to work, secondly, to training, thirdly, for all other matters. From time to time, jeans are replaced by sports trousers, and so on in a circle ad infinitum.

What else to wear? We advise you to pay attention to knitted or wool blend trousers with a straight cut. They fit perfectly into everyday looks, combined with sneakers, Chelsea boots, desert boots, T-shirts, jumpers and even shirts. They are as comfortable as sports ones, but look much better. In a word, the best option for every day and a cool alternative to boring jeans.

There are plenty to choose from:

Sweatpants: Sports only

Sweatpants are only appropriate to wear when playing sports. Perhaps even when you arrived at the dacha. That's all. Take a look at the stores - they sell a lot of comfortable pants in addition to sports pants.

Sweatshirt with print: for every day

Men should wholeheartedly thank the inventor of the sweatshirt - it was the American entrepreneur Benjamin Russell, who invented the hooded sweatshirt in the 20s of the 20th century. Because the sweatshirt: a) warm; b) does not wrinkle; c) does not fasten or unfasten; d) matches any trousers and shorts; e) a model with a bright pattern and original inscriptions looks interesting. You can't imagine anything more convenient, right? Cool and practical thing for every day.

There are plenty to choose from:

Sports style has been rehabilitated: girls can wear anything. Heels and leggings? Easily! Dress and sneakers? Why not! Skirt, bomber jacket and sneakers? Of course, at least every day.

From characteristic elements to a full look - the last few seasons, sports style has undergone many changes, which are recognized even by the masters of the fashion world. In the fall-winter 2016 collections, not just elements appeared; often the style determines the course of the show itself, the idea of ​​the collection.

Unique, amazing things appear - for example, the Anthony Vaccarello leather sweatshirt, which, in the wake of the hysterical popularity of the hoodie in the fall of 2016, is, of course, quite understandable.

Stars always wore sportswear not only for training: there are clearly more sweatshirts, T-shirts, leggings and even tracksuits in the wardrobe of, for example, Rihanna than decent dresses. Accessories that have crossed the line of sports style so long ago that they have lost all sportiness - for example, a baseball cap or a backpack, are no longer even considered.

However, it was with the light hand of Kendall and Gigi that elements of sportswear entered the everyday life of every girl: leggings, tops, bomber jackets, sweatshirts - now they can be combined with almost everything, and no one will dare to blame.

First of all, it's convenient. Well, if you believe modern trends, it’s beautiful.

Sport shoes

The easiest way to add a little “sport” to your daily look is, without a doubt, shoes - sneakers, sneakers, slip-ons. They can – and should! – combine, first of all, with feminine clothes – skirts, dresses.

However, no one has canceled jeans or overalls - to a certain extent, they are already classics.

But the image, which, in addition to sneakers, also includes a sports top and bottom, is called “I went to a workout and didn’t get there.”

However, complementing sports shoes with something relatively neutral - for example, plain leggings without stripes or yoga pants plus a bomber jacket - is quite acceptable.

The hoodie - a sweatshirt with a hood and a muff pocket in the front - turned the heads of designers, so much so that the fall-winter 2016 season turned out to be practically dedicated to it. Moreover, hoodies are so popular that even traditional sweatshirts have moved a little to the side.

A hoodie can be worn with anything - even with a dress, and nothing else, stylishly, as in modern times. Maybe in a hundred years some fashion historian will be horrified, but for now it’s acceptable.

Although, by and large, the place of a hoodie is paired with jeans (in extreme cases, with trousers, but not sports pants). We are not talking about any scarves in such a situation; let's say that a backpack is the only bag. But you can afford all sorts of shoes. The main thing is confidence.

One of the varieties of hoodies that every self-respecting girl should definitely try this fall is the hoodie dress. The principle is the same as with a sweatshirt, but the length is from mid-thigh to knee (rarely lower).

For the past few seasons, the fashion world has been gripped by logomania, a strange disease that forces people to flaunt the manufacturers of their clothes and place the names of fashion houses in capital letters everywhere. Sportswear falls victim to this disease many times more often than, for example, office dresses.

Logos of sports brands - Nike, Adidas, everything you can remember; fashion houses and designer names, even the names of your favorite teams or player numbers are a hit that you need to at least touch.

The bomber is a hybrid of military and sports uniforms, a close friend of the leather jacket and a distant relative of boring autumn jackets. Previously, it was worn by boys... And now - mainly by girls. A particularly trendy option is a bomber jacket, all covered with logos, stickers and appliqués.

A modern take on style allows you to combine a bomber jacket with everything in your wardrobe, including dresses, skirts, business suits, jeans and – ta-dammit!!! – full sports bow.

Sports suit

Perhaps the most odious trend, planted by designers and which has stunned the entire snobbishly sophisticated public, is a tracksuit for a feast, and for the world, and for good people.

Gone are the days when the aesthetics of girls in velor tracksuits was considered something too vulgar and undignified, now even stars do not hesitate to go to parties or on business in a designer tracksuit.

If you don’t want to look exceptionally sporty—for example, jogging with a cute trainer—then you can add a little urban chic to your look and dial down the intensity of the physicality using accessories. Ultra-feminine high-heeled shoes, large bracelets, beads, earrings or, conversely, a discreet coat or trench coat in a men's style - this is what will elevate a sports suit and give it the necessary amount of grace.
