Currently Trending: Sports Luxe

I have to confess my love for the latest Spring/Summer trend.

Sports Luxe.

The sports luxe trend has been around for a few seasons now, but it does seem like more emphasis has been made on it, this Spring/Summer season. More designers are embracing it and more celebrities are seen sporting this trend during their downtime.

I think it's time, for you to get your hands, on some amazing sports luxe shoes, to complete the look.

My current favourite pair of slip on trainers are these beauties, from Witchery.

My favourite pair of sports luxe shoes, is definitely, a slip on trainer. They are super comfortable, incredibly versatile and come in an array of colours, prints and materials. I can guarantee, you'll find one, that suits your style. And you cannot forget the fashionable, wedge sneaker, which I also adore.

As per the Wittner Australia website, sports luxe shoes can be defined as anything from chunky heels and slides, to mules and slip on trainers.

Donna Player, the Group Executive Merchandiser of David Jones says, "Sports luxe is not about mixing two classic trends, it is about two very different aesthetics coming together to create something wonderful and new...Beautiful things often come to fruition when opposites attract - embrace it."

So why is the trend so popular?

Sports luxe, takes fashion to a whole new level. For once, people are opting for comfort over fashion. People are being more relaxed. And it's now, more acceptable. I never thought I would admit to it, but the sports luxe trend, is surprisingly flattering, when done correctly.

So how should you style your sports luxe shoes?

1. When it comes to styling your sports luxe shoes, make sure you get the correct ratio, when it comes to sports and luxury. Do not get too relaxed. Inject the correct amount of glamour and even throw in some leather too.

2. Style them with feminine silhouettes and elegant ensembles. They look fabulous with A-line and pencil skirts.

3. Sports luxe shoes are great to accompany your jeans and cotton t-shirts during the trans-seasonal weather.

4. Slip on trainers are a must have for the festival season. Style them with denim shorts or playsuits for an effortless, trendy (and comfortable) look.

Not everyone loves the sports luxe trend and it is one, that has caused a bit of controversy in the fashion industry. What's your opinion on the trend, do you think it is fashionable or are people just being lazy in their fashion choices?
