One thing about fashion that everyone should know: it is constantly evolving!

This season, we’ve noticed a rise in the popularity of the everyday active look. From trendy trainers to sports-inspired apparel, this style is truly one for the books.

In this blog, we’ll delve into some of the reasons why this fashion trend has become so popular, along with tips and style advice on how to create your own unique look.

Here’s Why We Love The Active Look

1. Comfort: The active look is all about comfort. From athletic trainers and trail runners to box-cut T-shirts, this style prioritises ease and wearability.

2. Versatility: This look can easily be dressed up or down throughout the day to suit your planned activities – all you need is the right accessories.

3. Practicality: The active look is incredibly practical, especially for those with busy schedules. For instance, are you a mum who wants to fit in a fitness class, run a few errands, catch up with a friend for coffee, and pick up the kids from school? This style has you covered for it all!

Additionally, the sporty look is not only stylish but also wonderfully diverse! While some may be drawn to hip-hop-inspired, sports-team aesthetics, others might prefer a more gym-chic vibe.

Celebrities Who Have Rocked This Look Before

1. Princess Diana: Known for many iconic outfits, Princess Diana's pairing of cycling shorts with an oversized crew neck and chunky trainers remains a timeless style. It continues to inspire an active, everyday look to this day.

2. Steph Curry: This athlete has long been a trendsetter for the active look, often seen in his signature combination of sweatpants, a hoodie, and a coat. Other pairings include a baseball jacket with sweatpants and sneakers.

3. Billie Eilish: Billie’s iconic oversized streetwear style has influenced many fashion trends over the years. Her baggy shorts and oversized sweaters are not only comfortable but also contribute to the sports fashion scene, where people can showcase their favourite sports team apparel.

Create Your Own Everyday Active Wardrobe

Taking inspiration from the three iconic activewear looks showcased by celebrities, we’ve created a lookbook to show you how to style the everyday active look in three distinct ways.

The errand runner

For the errand runner, we’ve envisioned a look that works seamlessly for a full day of activities – from an early morning walk to a coffee catch-up.

To create this look, start with your choice of active trousers, such as jogger sweatpants. Pair them with a form-fitting activewear T-shirt and our DMXCOLBY sneakers. For accessories, add a baseball cap, a simple chain, and a wristwatch.

This outfit is perfect for warm summer days, allowing you to power through your to-do list with ease and still enjoy an evening jog along the promenade.

The cosy winter look

This is the perfect look for when you want to feel warm and comfortable but still look chic and put-together.

Start with a cosy fleece sweatpants and hoodie set – the oversized style works particularly well here. Add a matching beanie and our TristenL2 trainers, then tie the outfit together with a long coat for an effortlessly polished finish.

This look is ideal for winter or even a chilly autumn day, offering a balance of style and comfort that’s hard to beat.

The sports fan

This look is one you can really have fun with! It’s perfect for showing support for your favourite sports team while giving you the freedom to add some funky accessories.

To start, choose a pair of knee-length shorts – think basketball-style or running shorts. Pair them with an oversized or boxy T-shirt, whether it’s sports team apparel or not, and complete the look with our Tynnar sneakers.

The final step is to accessorise: pick a beanie or snapback, add your favourite chains or bracelets, and you’re good to go!
