Fall 2013: 7 Active Wear Trends
Active wear is no longer categorized as casual workout gear, at least not on the Fall 2013 runways. Designers incorporate lush fabrics, unique patterns and outsized silhouettes while maintaining a minimalist approach. From high jumpsuits to caped ponchos, bold graphics and color blocks, here are the top 7 trends to incorporate into your closet.
Horizontal and vertical stripes are revamped into bewitching OP Art patterns. Degrading vertical stripes slims the frame, while multi-directional stripes have a cool, wavy effect. We suggest pairing your stripes with a one-tone blazer and collared necklace for an effortlessly chic look.
Who doesn't love a good pair of leggings? Basic black leggings are turned up with lively patterns and color blocking. Curved lines map out the shape of your legs, while prints and color blocks have a modern, futuristic feel.
Funnel necks are simply a relaxed version of the turtle neck. A widened neckline makes for easy wear and is ideal for layering, while structured collars give a futuristic feel. Perfect for comfort and warmth during the colder season.
Track-pants go from athletic wear to stylish wear. A loosely fit, cropped silhouette gives the hips volume, while satin nylon fabrics adds a luxurious feel. A versatile pant that you can easily dress up or down.
Motocycle jackets take a minimalist route with a collarless, streamlined shape. Sharply cut details and clean edges in a one-tone fabric gives this basic shirt jacket an edgy update.
Strong graphic details put a unique spin on Fall 2013 jumpsuits. A defined waist gives the illusion of a tracksuit or sweats separates. Loose shirt jacket-style bodices look airy and fresh, while large-scale color blocks and panelling look clean and modern.
Capes undergo a sporty makeover. From puffer capes to cotton jersey ponchos, there are many styles to choose from. Convertible sleeves add dimension and convenience. Pair with a skinny pant to counterbalance it's voluminous shape.
