EBN- The world of sports has always had an impact on fashion trends. From vintage baseball jackets to tennis dresses and skirts, sports-inspired pieces are always in the spotlight.
And for 2024, this sporty vibe is taking over the world, especially with the start of the Olympic Games in Paris, France.
Athleisure refers to comfortable, stylish clothing designed for exercise or physical activity, but can also be worn in other casual settings. Think yoga pants, joggers, leggings, sweatshirts, and lightweight jackets. Several brands have led the way in high-performance, fashion-forward athletic wear for women.
All eyes were on this year’s Wimbledon tournament, which served as a platform for sportswear from global brands. The event is a key point for setting trends in classic and elegant sportswear.
The event also highlights the importance of sustainability and inclusivity in sportswear, reflecting broader societal trends and consumer preferences.
A number of designers have featured tennis-inspired styles in their collections, with Zendaya wearing dresses inspired by tennis players while promoting her movie Challengers, which revolves around the game. The trend quickly spread to streetwear.
This is not the first time that tennis has become a major player in the fashion world. For decades, designers have gained influence from the game, in addition to designing clothes for players. Brands including Stella McCartney and Ralph Lauren have created sportswear that can be worn on and off the court, and have been a hit with fashionistas.
