The clothes you wear to break a sweat on the treadmill in preparation for that Eres bikini have gone from SPAC to street this spring. Think racerback shapes, mesh, neoprene and pumped-up kicks in a non-gym setting.

For multiple seasons, designers have embraced an athletic aesthetic. See Alexander Wang’s seminal spring 2010 football-themed collection, Michael Kors’ color-blocked wetsuit dresses and Joseph Altuzarra’s netting panels. Fashion is having a sporty moment, and you’re up for MVP.

Before you are tempted to attend every class in workout gear, this is not permission to adopt a Lululemon uniform. To avoid looking like a perpetual exerciser – the fashion equivalent of a yellow card – balance sporty with sweet, sleek, structured or sophisticated. Check ASOS, Free People and Topshop for iterations of Isabel Marant’s much-coveted (and frightfully elusive) Willow sneakers. Counteract any potential bulkiness by pairing the high-tops with skinny leather trousers
