Fashion and Function: Our Favorites from Net-A-Porter’s Sportswear Collection

July 11, 2014 Erika 0 Comments

Do you remember the days when unflattering, mono chromatic pieces were all that can be seen in sportswear stores? We do. That’s why we are absolutely ecstatic when someone finally decided to design pieces that are both stylish and functional. Finally, we can work out and look fabulous!

Not only that, fashionable sportswear can mean the difference between working out and staying at home – sometimes, a new top is a good enough reason to go to your yoga class. And we know new shoes means more miles to cover on your next run. While these reasons may seem shallow, but the important thing is that you worked out, right?

We recently raided Net-A-Porter’s Sportswear Collection and we were floored by the fabulous pieces they had from brands such as Adidas by Stella McCartneys, Falke and Wear Grace. They’re a little (okay, a lot) over our price range but there is no reason why we can’t take them as inspirations the next time we go shopping for sportswear.

Alchemy Top by Weargrace, $177

Who says cover-ups always have to be oversized shirts? This top from Weargrace can be worn open at the front for a relaxed look or as a wrapped top for figure hugging style. The light gray color works well with other colors for versatility.

Medea Dress by L’Etoile Sport, $596

We are in love with this preppy dress by L’Etoile Sport! Whether you play the sport or prefer to stay in the sidelines, you’re sure to catch attention with this vintage inspired number. This dress can be worn in and out the court.

Versatility Bra by Falke, $124.04

A good sports bra is a must have no matter what sport you’re into. This bra by Falke is designed to endure the sweat and friction that comes with high impact sports such as running, tennis or cross fit. It provides maximum support for your bosoms and is built with moisture wicking fabric that ensures you won’t be thinking about sweat when you’re training.

Sanja Jacket by Falke, $196

A lightweight, sweat wicking jacket is a must to be able to work out no matter what the weather.

Studio Climaproof Shorts by Adidas by Stella McCartney, $65.05

When we first saw this shirt, we couldn’t believe it was sportswear! This stylish top is actually helps you perform better with Climacool technology and a stretch jersey material that gives it a light and seamless feel even with its second skin design.

Eupherusa Sneakers by Adidas by Stella McCartney, $83.94

Who doesn’t love a new pair of brightly colored shoes? I’ve seen and tried a pair at the store and I got to tell you that they felt so lightweight and soft that they’re worth the price tag! If you like to hit different stations at the gym (treadmill, Zumba classes, weights, etc ) then these sneakers are perfect for you!
