The worlds of luxury and sports have a surprising amount of synergy. Luxury brands are now revisiting humble pieces like gray hoodies and black leggings, transforming them into chic essentials.
Further examples of fusion were seen recently on the Spring Summer 2025 runways, where sporty staples played a starring role in a number of banner collections. At Ferragamo, models looked like they’d just finished ballet class, while at Tod’s, the vibe was track practice with stylish capri leggings. At Miu Miu, classic track jackets were styled in unexpected ways: layered over button-up shirts and paired with pleated midis, offering a fresh twist on the prep school look.
These garments are practical, but they’re not anything special. The luxury comes from smart styling—thoughtful attention to color, texture, and layering. A hoodie paired with a tailored coat, or sleek leggings made from high-quality fabrics, or even a blazer worn over sweatpants can instantly elevate these everyday basics into something effortlessly chic and luxurious.
Layering is key to transforming everyday pieces into something special. Combining sporty items with elegant ones adds dimension and polish to your look. These unexpected pairings create a high-end aesthetic that’s both refined and comfortable.
