Sportswear has been a fashion trend that has evolved for the past few years and for Spring/Summer 2015 season, there appears to be no difference. However, the concept of sporty-chic on the menswear side, is not always the equivalent of womenswear. So how can sporty-chic be considered if translated to a male forum?

The key concept in a male wardrobe has, since the beginning of its sartorial birth, been to speak of character and class. In the past, it has given men a smaller spectrum of frivolity, giving, instead, greater importance to materials and cuts. Today, the focus is on being casual and laid back, as focus is more on leisure than class. Thus, the sporty-chic trend generally refers to a mix and match concept: bringing an element of sport within a dressier attire can add another dimension to a look and make it more interesting while not going over the top. When looking over the runways there were, however, a few concepts that could be equally translated for him and her.

Mesh it up: The netted fabric was seen on many runways, layered in coat and jacket form over looser tops for a hard/soft combination while keeping the illusion of bareness within reach and giving it that 90s flair.

Sporty minimalism: the sporty minimalism is defined by relaxed silhouettes, clean shapes and minimal embellishments; whether it is tennis whites or boxy silhouettes. In short, keep an eye out for sporty clothing that looks both relaxed and clean as spotted at Calvin Klein.

The bomber jacket: The bomber jacket is a key piece to invest in for spring 2015. While you should try to preserve its sporty shape, army green was the color of choice as seen both on the streets of London and at Givenchy and David Andersen.

The difference for men and women, when looking at the sporty-chic term, is that you could see a head to toe look for women, whilst men only brought in elements necessary to give it a sportier twist. The essence of keeping things clean remains unchanged for men even with such a casual look as sporty-chic. But that might just be the name of the game.
