How to execute Sport Chic at Work | Maxwell Scott Bags

It’s a dull Monday morning in London. There’s puddles swilling at the side of the road, taxis choking out puffs of white fumes and there’s a constant spatter of rain in the sky. As a sea of commuters spill out of the underground, flashes of colour start to pound the grey pavements in the from of Adidas, N Balance and Nike. It’s common practice for this giant city’s urbanites to wear their most comfortable trainers during their long commute to work. The only difference now? They’re not just wearing their chosen sneaks for practicality…

The sports luxe trend – an opportunity to look both comfortable and contemporary. There was the rise of the pool sliders a couple of years ago – once the footwear choice of an American dad on his way to watch the basketball, bloggers were rocking these plastic slip-ons in every style guide out there. The bomber jacket is now an essential wardrobe item and you won’t be mistaken for a Nineties popstar anymore if you wear a logo tee.

This season, luxe sportswear has been given a sophisticated revamp. Think tailored tracksuit bottoms, minimal trainers and structured mesh tees. Details are sleek and fabrics are luxurious. Wear this up-to-date sport chic trend at work by simply following these four looks…

Wear your belongings on your back and opt for a backpack briefcase in leather or canvas. This style of bag can take you from work to casual seamlessly. It’s also highly practical for the busy urbanite – the Micheli is an impeccable option.
