The saying “summer bodies are made in winter” is pretty much all we’ll be hearing this winter. More people are in the gym now, boot camps are packed and sales at Herbal Life headquarters are sky rocketing. Even those who stayed away all this time are making their epic debuts.

One thing that is for sure is that the fashion is picking up too. International brands from head to toe are all we see from just spending a day at the most popular gym in town. But what then, do you do when you are running late to work, a dinner date or a quick doctor’s appointment?

Sport luxe is just another way of adding a little personality to your look. This can be easily  be achieved by adding kicks to a formal look. Opting to wear a trendy and fashionable gym bag instead of your normal designer not-so-designer sling bag.


Here are ways you can become the ultimate sporty:


  1. Get your kicks right.

White sneakers are the making waves these days. So invest in a pair this season. Yes, they are high maintenance but are totally worth it.

  1. A good sweater comes a long way.

This should actually be the first thing you should think about when trying out this trend. Keeps you warm and it’s the core basis of layering in winter.

  1. Be adventurous

Don’t fear to experiment. Make bold decisions with your fashion choices. Fashion is about taking risk anyway. Think about sheer and delicate layers which will of course add a sultry edge to your look. Showing a sneak peek of your body’s silhouette that you are working so hard for.

  1. Accessorise

Pleather and/or leather backpacks adds such a sporty look to any look. Bold dark, gold and even ruby gems draws attention to your outfit.

  1. Don’t forget to have fun trying out this trend

Fun and comfort are always key to when you try out new things. Its a learning curve really. If it doesn’t work for you at least now you know right?
