Fast and Chic: Sporty Spice

Except when being chased around the bedroom, Tom Ford’s archetypal woman isn’t particularly known for her athleticism. But then, the sleek biker shorts, mesh skirts, and slinky hoodies he showed for spring aren’t exactly intended for spin class. Using high-tech fabrics and high-performance silhouettes, a slew of other designers have also been working out streamlined notions of sportswear—from Junya Watanabe’s cyber suiting to Alexander Wang’s urban athletic gear. Call it sportif chic—it’s go-go fashion for glamour girls. So run, don’t walk, and get the look now with the mix-and-match pieces below.
