Miroslava Duma, Lacoste varsity jacket, Chanel bag
Fashion has been taking a sporty spin since last fall and it’s a trend that’s fun, comfy, and a bit tongue-in-cheek. Mixing stylish pieces with items usually saved for track and field can’t be taken too seriously and is a great counterpart to dressy pieces. I’ve collected some great shots this week, that all have a decided athletic touch.
Catherine of Not Dressed As Lamb
I adore Catherine’s blog, Not Dressed As Lamb for her spirit, style and masterful combinations. Her sporty Converse sneakers with neon laces, add a playful note to her already great outfit. See outfit details here and be sure to see what she’s wearing today too. She’s just wonderful.

TNT of FashionTNT, created her own sporty pants by adding DIY white panels to black pants and pairing them with a leather jacket and strappy heels. Brilliant and right on trend.
Isabel Marant Spring 2012 runway
If you haven’t seen it already, check out the full sporty glam collection at Isabel Marant Spring 2012, as it walked the runway last fall. Her collections are one of the current barometers of cool-girl chic and can be counted on to set off a new trend each season (next up: urban cowgirl for Fall 2012).
Photo: The Sartorialist, mini skirt with sneakers
This is one of my favorite pictures. Normally, you’d see this all black mini-skirt outfit with stilettos or even cute flats. She took it to a whole other level of cool and nonchalance, by wearing it with her colorfully-laced Nike shoes.
Hope these pictures inspire a new combo from your closet!

Okay, now I’m depressed. I want to be 25 and tall and gorgeous and wear all of these darling outfits. Wait…..maybe I can wear them. xo. Elaine
Oh no! I’ll be right over and we can talk about all the crazy and fun things we did in our 20s and what we wore while doing it.

Love it! I’ll embrace any look that makes running shoes look stylish.
Great post!

Oh jeez, Laura, I had babies in my twenties. E
OK then, I’ll just bring the wine and we can watch Fashion Police. ;)
Hmmm….wonder if I can pull this off….nah!
Jeannie, I’m picturing you in a varsity jacket right now and I’m liking it.

That Diesel leather jacket is yummy! Wouldn’t you know, I would pick the one that’s expensive. :)
I know, right?! You can just tell it’s soft by looking at it. Great taste (as always).
