Mixing elegant and athletic pieces (we call it sporty chic) has really made a comeback this year. What’s great about this trend is it’s completely comfortable without looking sloppy. These ensembles look best with simple, sleek pieces — a pair of skinny jeans and a graphic tee ensure an effortless feel. Our founder Taylor Sterling loves this style for its versatility: on a busy day, she can wear these Old Navy ankle jeans with sneakers when running around town for errands, and then slip on a pair of pumps for a coffee meeting later. She also loves Old Navy’s graphic tees paired with structured blazers. (We recommend buying tees one size larger than you normally wear and then tucking them into your jeans for a slouchy feel!) We think this trend is unexpectedly cool. Would you rock the sporty chic style?
