Sportswear as a fashion trend has never really resonated with me. I live in heels and I’m not particularly a fan of the word “sweat.” If I’m honest, activewear has always struck me as a bit utilitarian, and not at all pretty or chic. I don’t know what happened, but something suddenly changed this season. Sporty clothing has become surprisingly cute and fashionable. No one has been more shocked by this turn of events than I have, I can tell you.
However, on a recent trip to the mall I stumbled across this cute, rather sporty top by Helmut Lang. I am not one to wear sweatshirts, or even t-shirts for that matter…. so this hoodie is a huge departure for me, and I’m mad about it! The great thing about fashion is that it can surprise you. Once you throw out the rule book about what is “age appropriate” and what is not, there’s a lot of space left for simply having fun with fashion…. and this top was definitely designed for fun! Now I just need to learn how to throw a ball without breaking a nail!
