Sportswear is a major trend for Spring 2010. There is good news and bad news. The good news is that this trend may tie back to some favorite nostalgic pieces in your closet. The bad news is that I am not giving you permission to go out in anything that you would wear to the gym! Working out will make sportswear look great…just be sure to shower and change before you go!
The major elements of the sportswear trend are upscale and sophisticated yet playful. Chic stars and stripes are accented by other major trends of the season: zippers, buckles, draping and chunky belts and jewelry. On top, t-shirt inspired dresses and tops or crisp blouses have a nautical feel. On the bottom, crisp capris, shorts, skirts, and denim. The denim is taking on a softer look for spring than in past seasons. I am seeing lots of platforms and wedges. A few flats but I expect to see many more as the weather turns warmer. I am seeing hints that mid heels are coming back as well. I am looking forward to that!
