It's peak "I'm sweating way too much for my cute outfit" season. If you're in NYC, you're likely schlepping through the steamy subway stations, and in L.A., we're dreading getting into our cars after they've been sitting in the sun for hours. The result? Soaked-through T-shirts and painful blisters from jelly sandals (which sounded like a great airy shoe before leaving the house). Summer dressing should be easier than it is—after all, there are enough linen sets and flat shoes to go around—but the monotonous neutral shades and breezy fabrics can feel played out. I offer this solution: Switch up your rotation with pieces you're meant to sweat in, like a sporty soccer jersey or flowy athletic shorts.
Hear me out. Maximalism is in style (hi, Labubus!), and it's especially fun to experiment with new trends and silhouettes in the summer. The laid-back vacation energy calls for not taking our outfits too seriously. Sporty silhouettes have made a major comeback thanks to designers embracing jerseys, track pants, and sneakers on the runway. And it's not as bold a trend as it may seem. Instead of grabbing your go-to denim shorts to style with your favorite tank top and flats, try a mesh pair. You'll be surprised by how comfortable and cute the result is. The same can be said for swapping flowy tops for jerseys, linen pants for track pants, and so on.
Looking to try out the trend? Start with Adidas. The brand is a treasure trove of cute athleticwear that will seamlessly blend in with your everyday outfits. My favorites are in stock to shop below.
