What is Sporty Chic

Featured CC – Top & Shortse

Just so we have it clear, what is Sporty Chic in a fashion sense… Sporty Chic fashion can be anything from a tracksuit to leggings and a hoodie or shorts.  When we break down the words, we have Sporty and Chic.  So, we are looking at athletically stylish or elegant.  Trust me, it is VERY possible.  I used to rock this look in college all the time.  An easy way to make my sporty look more elegant was to add accessories and a neat hairstyle.  A nice clean bun or ponytail with some simple but classy hoop earrings goes a long way for this look.

Why is it Trending?

The trend started with the rise of yoga pants in public in the early 2000s for Sporty Chic, activewear, and athleticism.  According to Google… as Google knows all 😉the increase in demand for yoga pants has only increased.  I attribute most of this trend to the ease of acquiring yoga pants. It just makes sense, and you can easily find a good pair, and they are just so comfy!

Comfort

With the rise of yoga pants, many of us have found a new type of comfy clothes.  I have over twenty pairs of yoga pants, and I wear them during the day; I am not big on wearing them out unless they are under long layers, but from time to time, I do.  But during the day, with a nice oversized hoodie and perfectly fitted yoga pants, does comfort really get better? And if you can look comfortable and cute, how is this not a plus!

Celebs

Celebrities are known for being trendsetters.  Sporty Chic looks are no different; from Hailey Bieber’s pantsless long sweatshirt look to Gigi Hadid’s body suit look, these styles develop and change trends and inspire others to wear and try new things.  I’m going to call it now. We will see sweatshirt mini dresses in public as a trending look.  But we go right back to that comfort… just think of how amazingly comfortable that would be.

Get That Look – Sporty Chic

So, this is just a small listing of the CC available in the new Athleisure & Activewear Collection.  There is just so much more!  The sky is the limit here with all this CC! So, create your own Sporty Chic look!

Hairstyles

For Sporty Chic styles, hair is generally worn in an updo.  These up-dos range from neat high ponytails, braids, messy but controlled buns, and more.  Shorter hairstyles can be worn as well, I see a lot with headbands in this trend.  I generally see many neat braids with Sims, so I also included those.

2 – UPDO Hairstyle

3. Bianca Hairstyle

5 – Unilateral Braided Long Hair

Makeup & Eyes

Makeup for Sporty Chic styles is usually minimal: lipgloss, light eyeliner, mascara, and blush.  The modern, Sporty Chic looks pair well with the clean girl trend as both can be very minimal-looking styles and very chic and clean.

Accessories

For accessories and Sporty Chic, it depends on the activity.  Sporty Chic looks can be dressed up easily with accessories like hoop earrings.  You probably wouldn’t want to work out with dangly hoops, but this is a perfect way to dress up your look if you are catching a game or out for a casual day.

1 – Adisa Earrings

2 – Little Twisted Hoop Earrings

3 – Monya Long Socks 
4 – Stars V2 Earrings
5 – Picture Nails

Clothing

Picking out Sporty Chic outfits is easy on TSR, as a ton of activewear is available here!  Again, it depends on the activity, but you can choose from tank tops, rompers, bodysuits, tee shirts, leggings, sweatshirts, hoodies, shorts, skorts, yoga pants, and jackets.  As I said, you can mix and match many options.  I personally do really like the matching yoga pants or shorts and top sets (like the social image).  I think those are very stylish and aesthetically pleasing with the matching set.

Shoes

Shoes are super easy for Sporty Chic looks, as you just grab a pair of sneakers or sports shoes, and you are done.  Of course, many of us like to match the colors of the shoes to the outfit… So, I am glad many of these pairs of shoes I selected have loads of swatches, making matching outfits easy!

2 – Sneakers S249

3 – Sneakers S102305
4 – Suede Toe Sneakers S243
5 – Sneakers S072313

Final Looks

These looks turned out great and are excellent options for Sporty Chic looks!  The great thing about activewear is you can wear it at home, the gym, to catch a game, or out as a casual look.  With these CC items, your Sims will look great wherever they go!

For me personally, my favorite aspect of Sporty Chic looks is zip-up light jackets.  They can go with about anything and make an easy outfit choice. Pair with a tank top, tee shirt, yoga pants, cargo, shorts, or jeans, and you have a complete outfit ready.  Zip up jackets can also go great with the matching sporty sets.  These jackets are also super easy to dress up if you are going out to grab lunch.  With my looks, I just add accessories and makeup, and boom, an instant Sporty Chic look!
