Spring Trend: Sporty Chic

March Madness has finally began and in lieu of all the winter athletics coming to a close and spring flourishing, no better way than to highlight the Sporty Chic trend for spring.  To emulate this athletic-inspired trend, consider varsity jackets, track shorts, jerseys, baseball caps, raglan baseball tees, racing stripes, razor-back or front tops, and perforated or mesh detailing.

Participating in athletics growing up, I’ve had my fair share of wearing numerous sports jerseys and tennis shoes so for me this trend hits right at home.  I’ve always been a big fan of raglan baseball shirts (even though I never played softball/baseball) and  I enjoy wearing them all year round.  They just bring an ease to any wardrobe because they can be versatile.  Below, I styled three different outfits utilizing my white and gray raglan baseball shirt as a nod to this spring’s Sporty Chic trend.

Outfit #1 – Feminine Details

I enjoy the juxtaposition of pairing feminine and masculine details to an outfit.  I chose to pair the baseball shirt with relaxed, medium washed jeans for a laid-back vibe.  To infuse some femininity, I decided to pair the outfit with my hot pink heels and a statement necklace to add a punch of color.  I also scrunched hairspray in my hair to rough up the edges for added texture.

Outfit #2 – Relaxed Tomboy

Growing up, I went through a major tomboy phase.  I wore hand-me-downs from my older brother and I despised wearing dresses.  I soon grew out of that stage, but I still love the simplicity of menswear inspired apparel and accessories.  For this outfit, I paired the baseball shirt with boyfriend style khaki pants along with a jean vest and classic low-top converse sneakers.  For an effortless hairdo, I put my hair in a side ponytail.

Outfit #3 – Monochromatic

I like the idea of wearing a monochromatic outfit because I enjoy exploring the combination of different shades and tints of a hue.  For this outfit, instead of wearing pants, I paired the top with my light gray leather mini skirt along with a metallic gray belt and silver perforated flats to add some shine to the ensemble.  I topped the look off with stacked silver, white, and transparent bangles.
