Fashion Clothing How to Nail the Sporty Trend—Without Actually Wearing Workout Wear By Ali Pew Updated on April 5, 2016 @ 05:30PM Pin Share Tweet Email Photo: Photographed By Thomas Whiteside, Styled by Melissa Rubini There is a way to sport the athletic trend (aka one of the biggest looks of the season) without actually wearing workout wear. Fake it with graphics, a mix of structured and fluid pieces, and a flourish of texture for added interest. How does that look exactly? See Lupita Nyong'o from her cover shoot in our April issue (above), where she struck bold in take-charge layers, like her color-block Marni coat and top, but revealed a glimpse of a soft side with an unexpected hit of blush, courtesy of Alexander Wang's netted skirt. Finally, score major style points with color-blocked extras, like an earring, bag, or shoe, that complement your look. The Top 6 Colors You'll See Everywhere This Spring Courtesy 1.
