Everywhere you turn on the high street at the moment there is a sense of inspiration from sportswear. The sporting vibes trend either has a side stripe, a little bit of mesh, a bold statement colour or even some 90’s throwback poppers down an arm or leg.
I’m a massive fan of the sporty/athleisure vibes trend. I’ve touched on it a few times on my blog as it’s such a massive trend. It’s an easy style to wear that almost anyone could pull off. Primark is so quick to touch on trends that are hitting the catwalks with a big turn around. Before we know it the next trend is hitting the shops and we’re in awe of it. Both the men’s and women’s section are filled with items that hit on this trend just right.
While walking through the men’s section I spotted this red (which is one of my favourite colours) jumper. The bold red statement colour at the top made me fall instantly in love. However, at closer inspection, I spotted the additional text that broke up the bold red and white on the jumper. I’m a sucker for anything that has bold colours and some text. The thing that finished me off was the high top neck. I love anything that has a high top neck. Even better if it has a zip as you then can turn it from a polo neck to a low neck. This jumper was instantly purchased.
This jumper is so warm and cosy and a complete steal at just £12. But be aware the sizing is a little off at Primark, I purchased a small and this is a little snug around my shoulders. Either that or the constant working out on my body is doing me some favours! It’s a perfect statement piece and now the weather has gone bipolar and can’t make its mind up whether it’s warm or cold, it’s perfect for those colder days. I’ve paired it up with some skinny ripped jeans also from Primark to give it a more edgy and laidback feel. But I also have some tricot joggers that I’ve purchased from Primark that also go so well this jumper.
This trend doesn’t just stop at Primark. All stores around the high street and the internet are jumping on this massive trend. Boohoo is another contender with fast fashion. It’s always refreshing its new in pages to compete with the new trends. Along with ASOS, Topman and even Zara tapping into the trend. This sporting vibes trend looks as if it’s to stay in the Autumn and Winter months. I’m most certainly going to jump on the band waggon as I adore the trend!
Are you loving this sporty vibes trend? Let me know.
with china prints such as Marks and Spencers where I work. They have a whole collection called china blue where it has florals mixed with a blue china print. Places like Topman, Zara and River Island have also jumped on this trend. To floral bomber jackets (which are my personal favourite at the moment) to floral trousers.

Spring has finally sprung, with its pastel colours contrasting with the reminiscence of the dark and drab winter fashion. Walking around most of the retailers now everywhere has pops of colour, blue, pink and yellow being the strongest of the colour pop. I love the fact that the old winter stock is starting to filtrate out and the new season is upon us, Topman is one of the main retailers at the moment that seem to being doing this very well. With soft pastel jumpers being teamed up with the harsh darkness of monochrome to add a tiny splash of colour to the mix. The pink and blue jumpers are just some of the new lines added to Topman for the new spring season. Adding a black or grey duster coat (like pictured) or a leather jacket (like pictured) with dark jeans or trousers will give it that new twist on the monochrome look. Finishing the look with either black or white shoes, boots for a more grungy kind of look or trainers for a casual styling. If you’re feeling a bit more daring with colours why not try this pastel blue smoking jacket from Topman Limited as the main focus. Build your monochrome look with a splash of black underneath the pastel spring colour.
I’m going to try and do a Trend Report every time I see new things coming into shops or if something catches my eye that a lot of shops are doing so I can keep you guys in the loop. So at the moment walking around the shops I can see a very strong trend coming through. Tropical Print, if it’s not a strong Hawaiian bold styled print it’s a subtle Tropical vibe with floral flowers or even exotic animals. There are many options for you to wear this trend. From shirts, t-shirts, jumpers even shorts and blazers. I personally love this trend I’ve seen it come through on the clothes at work (Marks and Spencer’s) on the women’s clothes and I thought how cool would it be for other shops to jump on the band wagon and start doing these kind of prints on mens clothes. Then a week or two later and it’s everywhere. I really love the bold prints with the vibrant pop of colour to brighten any outfit. 
I love how you can dress yourself as a tropical rain forest with a head to toe look or just you could just have a subtle hint of tropical with a Flamingo. There are so many variations of the print which is something else I really love. You have full on Hawaiian dad shirt print to the fern leaf print or just a full on jungle. It’s a very summery print and will brighten up a dull summers day or even brighten up the 4 day sun period we get here in the UK. I’ve put some examples of a few of the trends on here. They all range from Topman, Zara, H&M and River Island.
