Sporty Chic: 4 Iconic Adidas Items For A Winning Wardrobe

How does a brand become iconic? For Adidas, which was originally founded in 1924, it’s as easy as 1, 2, 3 stripes. The trefoil was first introduced at the Munich Olympic Games in 1972, but it wasn’t until the 80s when it became an integral aspect of pop culture on the clothes and shoes of musicians and athletes alike.

With the rise of the athleisure trend, it’s no longer necessary to break a sweat while sporting the German-based brand. Channel your inner Sporty Spice in a few of the most popular Adidas pieces of all time:

Sweatershirt

The Adidas sweatshirt has been a post-gym go-to for ages. Make it an integral part of your cold weather wardrobe by layering it with refined outerwear. A collarless, longline coat is sophisticated and contrasts well with the bulkiness of an oversized pullover.

Track Pants

Willing to take a risk in the name of fashion? There’s an alternative to your usual tailored trousers or skinny jeans. Go the distance in a pair of Adidas track pants. Pair them not with sneakers, but with strappy sandals and an edgy leather jacket.

Stan Smith Sneakers

Walk the line of athleticism in the most sought after sneakers in footwear. Named after tennis player Stan Smith in the 70s, they’re most likely to be seen off of the court and on the feet of style stars everywhere. Wear them with garments that are just as iconic, like an LBD for example.

T-Shirt

Logomania has been all the rage, allowing the Adidas T-shirt with its huge logo on it to be welcomed into the wardrobes of all. A textured pencil skirts adds class to the casual tee, and the unexpected combination of the two pieces will help you earn style points.

Whether you’re an athlete or not, you don’t have to workout to make Adidas work for you. Incorporate these iconic pieces into your closet for a balance of sporty and chic.
