You’re most likely already familiar with athleisure, but how about athluxury? The sporty aesthetic started by off-duty models has transformed into runway-ready pieces thanks to inspiration drawn from sportswear and new collaborations with designer brands.
It was only time for sport style to become even more of a fashion norm. Think of the journey of the puffer coat. It’s evolved from a sporty outerwear option to a fashion mainstay in Fall/Winter collections, almost every designer has made their version of one. It’s no surprise then that track pants, dresses, and knitwear followed in the same direction. In addition to your typical hoodies, sweatpants, and sneakers, sporty elements have made their way into ready-to-wear, too.
This fall, you can find a tracksuit-turned-dress from Victoria Beckham, knee-length pleated tennis skirts at Miu Miu, and varsity jackets at Saint Laurent. Even Louis Vuitton and Dior have given their interpretation to the fashion-sportswear hybrid with oversized rugby shirts worn over evening dresses and in-motion pumps made from technical fabric, respectively. And, of course, it wouldn’t be athluxury without the mention of all Balenciaga, Gucci, and Wales Bonner’s collaborations with Adidas, available to shop now and throughout fall. Pieces from all of these labels made an appearance on the VOGUE World: New York runway—all in all, it’s a trend that has received our stamp of approval.
From technical knits to retro kicks, shield sunglasses, and more, here’s how sport and couture come together. Shop the edit below.
