The worlds of style and sports have a surprising amount of synergy. Sure, historically, a Vogue staffer may be more likely to cheer for a sale than a score, but there’s no denying the mutually warm embrace of athletics and fashion. For evidence, one can look to Vogue’s digital cover from early this year, which details the growing group of sports stars evolving into style icons, or to Leah Faye Cooper’s deep dive into the history of athletes in the pages of this magazine. Vogue’s feverish coverage of this summer’s US Open and the 2026 Winter Olympics is yet another indicator.

Further examples of fusion were seen recently on the fall 2025 runways, where sporty staples played a starring role in a number of banner collections. Miu Miu, always a leader when it comes to trends, showed swishy windbreakers and tracksuits with its typical preppy fare, while at Louis Vuitton and Undercover, ski jackets and puffer coats complimented avant-garde tailoring. Spandex, fresh for the Pilates studio, was on view once again at Alaïa, while trackpant-like trousers walked at Tory Burch. The fun thing about fashion’s continued foray into athletics is its ease of incorporation—who doesn’t love a comfy way to be on trend? For ideas on how to style fall’s runway MVPs for right now, look no further than our guide below.
High Altitude
At Louis Vuitton ski jackets walked off the slopes and onto the runways. Temper festive red and green accents with simple dark-wash jeans and sporty shapes.
Chic Sportif
Leave it to Dries Van Noten to elegantly combine two items with high-gauche potential: track pants and a going out top.
Track Star
Miu Miu’s version of a track suit is worn with a pair of shiny loafers, a cloche hat and a faux fur stole. Why not?
Fever Pitch
Tory Burch’s track-meets-tailoring look incorporates sporty details, like stripes and zip-ups, in classic shapes. An easy way to dip your toe in the trend.
Core Power
At Alaïa, a ballet or Pilates-ready crop top meets a full skirt and knee-high boots to excellent effect.
Puffer Up
Undercover’s fall collection is full of spliced-and-diced sport staples, like these Champion sweats. They’re great with sneakers for an off-duty look, but even better with a kitten heel.
Vested Interest
At Sacai a bulging puffer vest is the star of the show, adding volume to an otherwise-simple straight leg trouser.
