Athletic

This Spring, there's something seriously sexy about sportswear, and we're loving OnSugar blog Beauty and the Budget's picks for shopping the trend.

The Spring '11 trends encourage an athletic spirit, but this time we're trading the raggedy gray sweats for something a little more chic. Throw in colorblock knit skirts and leather jackets to dress up your sportswear. Think Kate Moss when channeling this mood or take inspiration from runway collections like Marni and Acne. Sure you won't be working out in these gems, but at least you'll know your bright tanks and spandex workout pants can finally be mixed into your daytime attire!

Sportswear and summer go hand in hand. Recently we were perusing stock images of boxing uniforms at the New York Public Library as a lesson in sportswear, and it occurred to us that this particular uniform is one that could lend itself to ready to wear quite nicely. We've seen the oversized racer back tanks from the likes of Alexander Wang and Oak, but the square, baggy boxer shorts, we thought, we harder to come by. Jade Jagger, a Stella McCartney brand of fashion designer, has put out a pair of Zigzag Beaded Shorts that are right on the money. The appeal here is that these are the type of shorts that you can ride a bike in, the kind that when you sit down don't shrink to diaper-size, but, because of the beading, color, and fabric are far removed from your boyfriend's undershorts. We expect a lot of baggy shorts this season and this particular variation, free from buttons and zippers and otherwise constricting elements, is one of our favorites. Check out our spread below for some bright silks in the boxer short cut.
