Before we look at current sports trends, let's go back in time for a moment. You might think that sports and fashion are two separate fields, one emphasizing performance and the other emphasizing elegance, but these two worlds have collided several times in the past. First in the " Roaring Twenties " using jersey-style cotton for Chanel™ and piquet for Lacoste™, then in the casual wear trends of Calvin Klein™ or Tommy Hilfiger™ in the 1990s, and finally the serious influence of streetwear on luxury from Louis Vuitton™ in the Virgil Abloh era.
HAUTE COUTURE
This French term comes from the field of fashion and refers to tailor-made clothes with an emphasis on detailed hand-crafting, made in Paris and limited in other well-known fashion cities such as New York, London or Milan. "Haute Couture" clothing is tailored to a specific customer with extreme attention to detail and finishing. High-quality and expensive materials are used in its production. Sewing a single dress takes from 100 hours and can take up to 2,000 hours of work. Of course, the price depends on this, which starts at 15,000 euros for a blouse and goes up to 200,000 euros for an embroidered evening dress.
Haute Couture has always been inspired by indoor and outdoor sports and sports fashion in ski resorts. In 2024, the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris will dedicate an exhibition to the theme "Fashion and sport: from one catwalk to another". The exhibition shows how fashion transformed the specific purpose of sportswear and integrated it into the everyday wardrobe. The emphasis is on comfort and innovation. This makes it understandable that tracksuits and sneakers have taken a firm place in the world of fashion both in everyday life and in Haute Couture.
SPORTS TRENDS IN 2024
The days when sportswear was only suitable for exercise or leisure are long gone. The year 2024 will bring a sports style expanded for all occasions and environments, breaking the boundaries between fitness and fashion. In 2024, sports fashion will be anything but boring! Emphasis will be placed on versatility, silhouette or oversized clothing that is characterized by comfort and style, neon shades, abstract patterns and animal prints will also be trendy. The current trend allows individuals to express their personality by choosing sportswear that reflects their personal identity with respect to global fashion.
The world favors comfort and functionality, the dominant trend in fashion is the sporty style, where sweatpants play the main role of the entire outfit and are generally referred to as "athleisure". The name was created by combining the English words "athletic" and "leisure", i.e. sport and free time. The basis is a combination of an informal or even elegant outfit with elements of a sporty style. The result is unusual, comfortable and extremely fresh outfits.
OVERSIZED CLOTHES
Oversized hoodies will become a wardrobe staple in 2024, whether in a shortened or elongated version. Combine them with leggings to create an outfit with a casual look, and if you wear them with skinny jeans and boots, you will get a trendy streetwear aesthetic. Look for hoodies with large dropped sleeves and bold logos, patterns or prints.
Oversized pants are the epitome of comfort and style. Expect to see them in 2024 in sportswear collections that combine the relaxed fit of sweatpants with the elegance of trousers.
Oversized t-shirts represent the pinnacle of comfort and at the same time offer many ways to dress them, style them, what to combine them with. Thanks to this, oversized t-shirts become a universal piece in the wardrobe, which you can use during sports activities or combine them with evening outfits.

VERSATILITY
One of the key features of sportswear is its versatility. In 2024, expect a number of pieces that can seamlessly transition from training to everyday activities with you. Stylish sportswear has become multifunctional clothing. This year, pieces are in fashion that give you style and practicality, so it's easy to look chic.
SILHOUETTE AND OVERALLS
It is no longer the case that overalls are only fitness clothing. Overalls are a popular sports trend and will continue to be in fashion in 2024. They offer functionality, comfort and a perfect silhouette. From yoga classes to post-workout brunch, you'll look fantastic in a jumpsuit.
NEON COLORS
Neon colors radiate energy and excitement. They can bring a design to life, making a piece of clothing look dynamic and alive. Neon colors are ideal for expressing a sense of excitement and movement. They immediately attract attention with their intense brightness and saturation. They are ideal for people who want to stand out or make a strong and immediate impression.
The palette usually contains a range of dazzling colors, from fluorescent hot pink, bright orange, electric blue and luminescent green to vibrant yellow. Each color in the palette has a unique vibrancy that mimics the glow of neon lights under the night sky. Include these colors in your sports wardrobe with leggings, sports bras and oversized sweatpants.
MONOGRAM DESIGNS
Monogram designs carry strong brand stories. In the case of a tone-on-tone color scheme, a monogram can appear minimalistic and create a strong connection with the brand without unnecessary words.
ABSTRACT PATTERNS
Abstract designs refer to designs that do not try to represent external reality, but try to achieve their effect through the use of shapes, colors, forms and gestural signs. In the world of sports fashion, abstract patterns are used to create unique patterns:
- Geometric shapes: patterns made of geometric shapes such as circles, squares, triangles and lines arranged in different ways
- Brush Prints : Patterns that mimic brush strokes, often with a smooth and dynamic feel
- Distinctive graphics : large, imaginative patterns that can be symmetrical or asymmetrical, often with a strong visual impact
- Random or loose patterns: patterns that do not follow a regular arrangement often appear spontaneous or haphazard
- Color blocks and contrasts: using contrasting colors in non-representational ways to create visually stimulating patterns. Abstract patterns can be playful, sophisticated, edgy or minimalist, depending on how the abstract elements are combined and presented
- Animal prints: Animal prints continue to be a fashion staple and have also made their way into sportswear. From leopard spots to snakeskin patterns, animal prints will bring wildness, sex-appeal and style to your athleisure wardrobe.
