About the features of sport style for men

Colors, prints, trims and fabrics
The style palette does not have any clear boundaries. The so-called glamor trend is characterized by the use of bright colors, but in general, clothes can be of any color. When choosing wardrobe items, you should focus on your own preferences and appearance color type.

Current jewelry - bracelets made of leather or plastic, watches, usually waterproof, with a large dial, sunglasses.
Story
The first half of the 19th century is considered to be the period of origin of the trend that is fashionable today. The massive passion for active recreation has created a demand for comfortable and practical clothing. However, the formation of a sports style for everyday looks, which was based on a competition uniform, occurred in the late 60s of the 20th century. The first collections of this trend were presented by Pierre Cardin and Andre Courrèges.
The development and popularization of the fashion trend was facilitated by the so-called healthy lifestyle boom of the 70s and 80s. Special attention was paid to the beauty of the body. Sweatpants, suits and other wardrobe items in a similar style have become almost iconic. This continued until the early 2000s, when this fashion trend lost its relevance. True, not for long - already in 2008, sport style images began to be shown on the catwalks again.
Basic wardrobe in men's sports style
Famous designers practically do not use this fashion trend in its “pure form.” On the contrary, they recommend skillfully mixing it with elements of other movements - this is how the image looks most advantageous and harmonious. What should be in your wardrobe so that you can easily create a sporty outfit? This:
- straight-cut pants or with elastic at the ankles;
- wide cut shorts;
- plain or patterned T-shirts and T-shirts (differing in V-neck);
- sweatshirts, sweatshirts, jumpers;
- sport style jackets - loose options made of coarsely textured materials;
- outerwear - windbreakers, down jackets, anoraks, parkas;
- headwear - caps, baseball caps, beanies, bandanas.
By adding jeans to any top, you can easily get a trendy ensemble of a fashionable casual variety.
Of course, like many trends, sport style is not just clothes. The image will not look as harmonious as you would like if you are very far from a healthy and active lifestyle.
