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.
