In case you couldn’t tell from the fashion week runways (and the front rows) or the celebrities on their criminally chic off-duty coffee runs, the divide between high fashion and athletic-inspired streetwear is virtually non-existent at this point.
Too bad the term “Street Style” is already taken, because we’re in the midst of a revolution that’s maybe too hot to even have a name. These days, the sporty-cool sneakerheads and the fashion obsessed can all live — and pose — together in peaceful sartorial harmony. At the forefront of the movement: the Adidas Tubular, kicks with retro-cool ‘90s roots, but a hi-tech millennial update. Plus, the sneakers ring in at a friendly and non-intimidating price point.
The trick in creating that impossibly cool, yet totally effortless (not to mention comfy) #aesthetic is formulating the perfect mix of streetwear-meets-high fashion — and, of course, how you wear it. (But that part’s all on you.) To give you a head start, here are three ways to wear the look.
Yes, you can wear sneakers, a puffy jacket, and joggers and look chic AF. The trick is in mixing textures and silhouettes. Start with a crucial base ingredient: a pair of plush, persimmon-hued Tubular Defiant in a super-luxe contrast of suede and gleaming satin blocking. (Cute laces, too!) A sleek, black crop top counters the volume of the pink puffy, and a cropped culotte shape totally elevates the typical sweatpants look — and lets you show off your shoes.If wearing a full-printed shoe is a bit aggressive, try experimenting with a graphic mini-panel on a black mixed-media Tubular Entrap. Then inject color into your outfit with bold, red, trouser-cut track pants and a matching blocked sports-bra top. A sporty black parka and the sneakers bring the entire look together, and the print on the heel makes for a statement-making exit.
