To take your sportswear even better, let's go a little further on this idea of ​​creating a "lag".

The key between sportswear is to keep this sport connotation while moving away with more serious, more chic pieces.

You are free to choose if you shift more on the sport than on the chic, or the reverse. What will count here is to mix between sobriety and originality. Count on one strong piece that will set the tone of the outfit, and on which the other clothes will be composed. To go back on the down jacket, it is a very striking element and can be tempered with another style

Be very careful about details, including buttons, closures and pockets. Avoid overloading elements that would only make the rendering more difficult. Prefer simplicity with light details that will spice up everything!

For reasons, lines and stripes should not be ostentatious. Without turning in excessive flashys either, touches of colors will be welcome. For more information, see our reference article on color combinations. If you can put some red and green, do not hesitate!

Try the leather runnings. More expensive and rigorous to maintain, they are however very elegant and will bring a certain cachet to your style. Be sure to choose a good leather, so as not to face the nasty surprises. I have a trick for you: press the leather with your fingertips and gauge the result: if the leather returns to its original shape easily, you will have a pair of good bill. Another asset, in aging, the leather will become beautifully patinated.

As a reminder, no black runnings, especially if it is leather. Choose a nice brown pattern that can be combined with most tones.
