The new fashion formula

Have you spent the past few weeks non-stop in comfy sportswear? Then you can look forward to this fashion trend.

I'm already dreading the moment when I have to squeeze into my skinny jeans again in the morning. Not only because I don't know if I'll even fit into them, but also because I've got used to the comfort of leggings and jogging trousers over the past few weeks. Thanks to the elasticated waistband, nothing pinches or tweaks - not even after lunch.

The latest fashion trend comes at just the right time: sports trousers meet blazers. This timeless Basic makes your workout outfit easy to wear - even away from the gym and at home. Fancy a few examples? Blogger Petra Mack combines her oversized blazer with cycling shorts, a poured-over logo shirt and chunky Chelsea boots. A bag with chain handles provides the perfect break in style. But there are also alternatives: Fashion journalist Stephanie Broek adds an exciting twist to her sporty outfit with pumps and jewellery.

What's important with this look is that your jacket isn't too short. It should cover your bum and not be figure-hugging, otherwise the outfit loses its casualness. I prefer a boxy model that I buy one size larger and preferably in the men's department. On the other hand, the sports t-shirt underneath can be figure-hugging like Stephanie's.

Admittedly, if you're not a trendsetter, you'll need a little courage for this look. You're sure to get a lot of dirty looks on the street. But I'm sure that you'll find one or two imitators, especially in times like these when many people are enjoying comfortable outfits.

When I’m not exploring the depths of the sea as an open water diver, I enjoy plunging into the world of fashion. On the streets of Paris, Milan and New York is where I keep my eyes peeled for the latest trends. And I’ll show you how to take them from the catwalk to your everyday life.
