Men's Trend: Sports Luxe


Over the next few weeks I aim to give an overview of the A/W 13 trends for both men and women and include images of trend looks my friends, random people and myself have created! so, here goes...

The first trend I will address is 
Sport's Luxe

This trend is the most transitional from S/S 13 but sportswear continues to be big for A/W. Influenced by the American sports scene and street-wear of the 1990’s the look is oversized and super casual. The trend places emphasis on oversized mesh and jersey tops worn over skinny denim or joggers. The jogger has been completely revamped for the new season taking a much skinnier silhouette than its predecessors in turn making it much more wearable for 2013. A key piece for this trend is the trainer. Whatever the brand you should invest in a pair as they will see you perfectly over the season and I would’ve though into S/S 14 as well. Keep the colour palette for this trend simple; think monochrome or tonal grey, however, add fun by inserting some colour through accessories or runners.


The Look - simple sports styling created using four items. Blue short shorts are teamed with an oversized red sweatshirt. When teamed with white socks and trainers in complementary colours you achieve a simple yet fashion conscious sports look.
