Sporty styles had a moment on the FW22 runway, and Gucci’s major collaboration with Adidas proved that athleisure is here to stay. But as we enter a new era of athleisure, brands are taking a more sartorial high-fashion approach to this “sport mode” trend. Now, it’s time to elevate beyond the biker shorts and crop top ensemble and activate that perfect a refined, yet athletic, look with some chic sportswear pieces. Below are six outfits that can help you achieve this in many different ways.
