Go bold in prints

When used rightly, prints are always a vibe as they can take any outfit from ‘nice’ to ‘whoa’. For a sporty look, pair oversized cardigans and hoodie dresses with similar colored (and printed) sneakers like Toke Makinwa and Monica Denise. Otherwise, bring sexy back in a plain crop-top and skinny jeans like Nigerian actress, Linda Osifo.

Rock a two-piece set

You can’t go wrong with a two-piece as they are perfectly made for each other. For those days when you have no idea what to wear, go sporty in a two-piece set complemented with edgy sneakers. If you are a color girl, get inspired by Lisa Folawiyo as she paints the streets orange, or opt for neutral colors like Thuli Phongolo and Amanda DuPont if you’d rather be sporty in neutral.

Stun in heels

It’s a given, heels vamp up any look speeding you up to It-girl status in an instant. For a dressier feel, slide into statement heels and throw on a hat for that extra finish.

Oversize sweaters/jackets

Big things are popping and all season long. Layer on an oversize sweater on an oversize button down shirt or a bomber jacket on a crop top combo. While one gives off a masculine touch, the other reveals a sassier version of the individual sporting it. Whichever way works perfectly.

Sassy and bringing it

What’s the point of having it if it’s going to be muffled up underneath a pile of clothes? Then this is your category. Less they say is more and a barely-there sporty look is the sassy energy that keeps giving. Think biker shorts, crop tops and alluring pieces that accentuate the figure.

A pop of color and maybe more

Colors make the world go round whether on a moody day or even on days you feel vibrant and ready to take on the world. Choose a monochrome look on the brighter spectrum or dip your feet cautiously with bright colored accessories like hats and/or shoes to make a style statement.
