25 Sportif Chic Items Cool Girls in NYC and LA are Wearing Leave a comment
Cool girls in NYC and L.A. are wearing trends that I have been waiting to try for spring. As soon as the weather hits 60 degrees, you’ll see me sporting (pun not intended) these top five sportif trends that have graced my Instagram timeline. I’ve never been a sporty girl, but I love sportif fashion trends just as much as the next person.
These trends are casual, comfortable, and easy to style. Fashion people seem to think so, too. Influencers and people I’ve seen IRL are wearing sportif-esque outfits that I’m inspired by. Runways have unveiled sporty looks, and the internet has definitely caught on. From track pants to jersey shirts, these laid-back athletic trends are about to be the It-trends of spring.
If you’re into the idea of sporty, but chic outfits for spring in 2026, keep scrolling through for outfit inspiration and shop these trends.
