From city sidewalks to the Miu Miu spring runway, sporty style is having a major moment. Spring’s most wearable trend borrows from the gym but lands firmly in the fashion arena—think anoraks, swishy shorts, and even sports bras styled with just off-center polish. Whether you’re actually heading to Pilates or just running errands with an oat milk latte in hand, these athletic-leaning pieces, when mixed with with a ballet flat, button-up, or printed maxi skirt, deliver a welcome mix of cool, comfort, and ease. Looking like you might work out has never been more stylish. We’ll show you how to wear it in our styling guide below.

The Jacket
Uniqlo’s butter-yellow blouson zip-up makes the perfect companion to a preppy pleated skirt, matching tiny tee, and boat shoes.
The Sporty Short
Swishy soccer shorts play off-field when worn with a draped asymmetrical top and ballet flats.
The Sports Bra
Dare to bare it in a sports bra (especially when the temps rise!). You can balance out the extra skin by adding a full skirt. Colorful sneakers complete the look.
The Bike Short
Bike shorts look sleek when accompanied by a white satin bomber. A pop of avocado green keeps the look feeling on-trend.
The Track Pant
Lean into the tomboy ease of a slouchy pair of track pants by adding an oversized button up and Gucci loafers. A woven tote feels just right for the season.
The Long-Sleeve Top
Nike’s ultra-cropped top (it only covers the arms!) is practical for runners and stylites alike. We love how it adds unexpected interest to your typical skirt and tank combo.
