The crew over at Who What Wear put together a nice little mix of some sporty pieces that are sweet finds at low prices. Styles under $100 in this economy? We'll take two!
According to designers like Alexander Wang, the sporty look is totally in for spring and summer. Given some of their selections, uhm, I have to say that this is a pretty classy version of what I think "sporty" looks like. When you say "sporty" I'm still thinking "Spice Girls". But the trends this season have gone from aerobic chic to... high heels? I'm kind of afraid of a sporty look that includes shoes like the Office sandal pictured above - unless it's like those Easy Spirit pumps that you could play basketball in? Also, the model from DKNY's fashion show (also pictured above) is biting that Bananarama style a là "Cruel Summer". That's probably more of a "Working Stiff" look... but I guess the labors of a blue collar handyperson are sporty in their own right.
In the mix, however, they featured our very own Topanga Heather Burnout Crew in dirty grey. OOOHHH now, I get it. So yeh, it's just a t-shirt, but our heather burnout adds a level of class and sophistication that your regular ol' gym tee can't handle.
So in conclusion, "sporty" doesn't mean "sweaty disheveled bum" - you can still play hard and look good. I suppose even the brassiest Spice Girl can learn how to keep a little class in her athletic endeavors.

Totes agree, Von Jones. Glad the "sport" of summer/fall 2009 is a far chicer and more creative variety than what we saw 10 years ago...
Also impressed with some of the neon/neutral combos I'm seeing...delish!
