Summer Athletic Apparel Must-Haves with Sabel
Athletic wear isn't only a "summer" thing, but summery ready-to-wear athletic apparel definitely is. The same way any piece of clothing can take on a seasonal specific personality, athletic wear can too. I'm excited to chat with you about the leading trends for summer 2021 activewear.
You know what I'm talking about. It’s that predictable style that was all over Lululemon in the early 2000's, the one that every athleisure brand has listed on their website as "classic sports bra.” Don't get me wrong, there is definitely a place in every woman’s wardrobe for a good-ole racerback, solid color sports bra, but we're talking about trends here. This summer, you can find women sporting the one-shoulder style or even double-strapped style.
We once lived in a world where it was only a DREAM to be able to wear activewear around the clock without fear of judgement. Well, we're living the dream now. In fact, I would argue as times goes by, all-day activewear becomes more acceptable. These days we find women wearing their sports bra underneath blazers with trousers. This is where your basic, staple sports bra come into play.
No, I'm not talking about swimsuits this summer. KORAL makes the best one piece that we are currently sending to our clients here at Jackie. What I love about one pieces, besides the fact that they are the most comfortable thing ever, is that they can kill two birds with one stone. You can get a bigger bang for your buck, if you will. Here's how. You can wear your one piece to pilates and afterwards, throw on a sweatshirt or blazer for a totally different look.
This is probably my favorite summer athletic apparel trend. I am seeing it everywhere and I think it's making people actually play tennis because I'm seeing that trend parallel this one. I'm not mad about it. Although I wouldn't consider my style to be preppy, I'm loving the preppy twist that tennis dressing inspires in even the edgiest of people. Reach for a good tennis skirt and polo this summer. Actually playing tennis is not required! ;)
You heard it first on our Instagram feed. We'll say it again. Pastels are big in every category of clothing this summer but especially athleisure. As your last measure of assuring you stay up with the trends, make sure you keep an eye out for those playful pastel colors. After all, summer is the perfect season for it.
