90s nostalgia continues apace

Multi-functionality and versatility are again the buzzwords when it comes to sportswear this season, but now with an added retro twist. With a shout out to the 90s, tracksuits and chunky trainers are back, combining comfort and style while keeping you bang on trend no matter where you wear them. Not sure where to start? Try a patterned legging from Adidas or zip-up jersey sports top from Reebok. They will soon become the wardrobe essentials you don’t know how you lived without.

Turn heads in the mono-hued looks of the season
Sportswear is a chance to rip up the fashion rule book and have a little fun. Nowhere is this more true than with the trend for dressing head-to-toe in a single shade. Calvin Klein has all your colour blocking needs covered, with offers of up to 60% on all the hottest trends. Go to the dark side with blackout: black co-ord pieces are easy to mix and match with coloured styles when you want to change the look. Layer them up or leave skin exposed with a crop-top to soften the vibe. For a more neutral take on colour blocking opt for matching pastel tones. Several sportswear brands including Nike and Converse are taking their cue from the ready-to-wear collections, with new gym-ready styles in shades of lilac, peach and ice blue. Finally why not really make a statement in full look neon?
Logos are a go go for the new year
Attention brand fans: proudly wearing one designer, head to toe, is now officially OK. The fashion world is in a 90s revival fever, and sportswear is no exception. Right on cue, Heritage brands like Reebok and Nike have relaunched their old classics, so you can try the one-brand-all-over look with a vintage twist. So next time you hit the gym, why not sport the monogrammed cap, the top, the tracks and the trainers? If you’re game, add oversized logos, to really embrace this trend. Head down to Calvin Klein to find all the inspo you need to work the mono-brand aesthetic, with discounts of up to 60%. Why not work the trend with a pair of heels, for an effortless statement that scores high on comfort and style.
