This time, we’re not talking about the classic biker chic look made up of leather or pleather ensembles that come with a myriad of studs or pins. In fact, the recent mania in streetwear, as we can tell from our Instagram feeds, consists of pieces that would make up a cyclist’s or racer’s wardrobe (think spandex, lycra and polyester pieces).
Chief among this particular look includes fashion labels Fenty x Puma by Rihanna, cult streetwear brand Off-White and Internet sensation I.am.gia. We picked out the essentials needed to complete this look in the gallery above.
A windbreaker is essential to keep warm, given that the look is mostly rocked with cropped tops. A plus point? You can be practical and still look cool at the same time.
Small, figure-hugging tops are key to this look, and it seems like the less they cover, the better. For a more modest option, try this cycling T-shirt from Off-White with fun graphics reminiscent of a racing suit.
Most importantly, the waistline should be cinched, just like this top that features an elastic drawstring waist.
Contrary to the upper body, the louder and baggier your pants are, the better. Track pants that flow freely or have cinched ankles usually do the job.
Although no one would wear heels to cycle or ride a bike, rules were meant to be broken, right? In place of the usual combat boots with edgy metal hardware, boots with thin heels like these are usually donned.
This trainer-heel hybrid works as well, as long as the heel is kept decently thin.
A cool pair of shades like this structured pair that is totally Hadid-esque will complete any look.
As part of the whole athleisure look, bring along a bag along the same lines, such as a fanny pack, flight bag or a sports luxe-inspired bag like this MSGM one.
