Jeannie and I are fresh from the Nordstrom’s Spring Trend event and a successful day of shopping. Today’s trend focuses on Fresh Sport. We all know athleisure is here to stay, but sometimes you don’t want to look like you just left the gym. Fresh sport is all about incorporating athletic elements into your everyday outfit for a perfect laid back effortless look. Here’s our take on how to make the runway trend work for the everyday woman.
One isn’t always the loneliest number
The #1 rule for incorporating this spring trend into your wardrobe is to edit, edit, edit. Really it means that you should add only one athletic piece to your outfit. Maybe it’s a great white sneaker with a fun dress or an athletic jacket with a smart pair of pants. The key is to just add one piece of athletic wear to your look. My favorite way to achieve this look is to add my favorite sneakers to my look. My Golden Goose sneakers always pair well with a fun dress or jeans and a sharp blazer. Plus, it’s something you can easily wear to work.
Jeannie & Sara’s Favorite Sneakers:
Light as a Feather
One of the other best things about the fresh sport trend is lightweight and flowy fabrics. Look for sheer nylon fabrics with a ton of airy volume. We live in Texas, which basically means 2 weeks of spring and then it’s summer where the cool days are in the 80s. Also be on the lookout for fun, special little details like ruching, tailoring and stripes. Jeannie especially loves jeans with side trim. They add interest and make your legs look longer. And be honest, who doesn’t want that?

Keep it Poppin’
Another key point to this trend is adding a single pop of color. This is a really good rule to incorporate into any look, especially for those of us who are a bit afraid of adding color. The key here is to find one great jolt of Crayola-inspired color, whether it’s shoes, a t-shirt, a bag or a sweater. This is a great way to add a bit of visual interest that wakes up the eye. Some of our favorite trends colors for spring are lilac, goldenrod, emerald and cranberry.

So Fresh and So Clean, Clean
If we had to sum up the most important lesson we learned from the Spring 2018 Trend Event is that less is more. Fresh sport is really about sporty minimalism. Keep it to one athletic-inspired piece and really edit down accessories to simple layers. The statement necklace has had a great run but it’s time to layer on delicate chains for a cleaner, less fussy look. This season is all about the statement earring – large, graphic hoops and statement earrings are a great way to add color and personality to your ensemble.
