Elevate Your Sportswear with Style Cues from Your Favorite Celebs

Want to go for a laid-back look without looking drab? We just made elevating your sportswear a breeze with these style cues from our favorite celebs rocking fabulous athletic looks.

By Dominique Hobdy · Updated October 27, 2020
01
Angela Simmons

Angela Simmons is the definition of posh in this black and white getup. A simple, boxy dress paired with no-fuss converse sneakers will get you the glam-girl look in no time.

Rihanna

Rihanna isn’t called a style icon for no reason. The focal point here is definitely the sweatpants. When rocking detailed sweats, take a cue from Rih Rih and opt for platform sneakers and a simple top.

Solange’s style is one-of-a-kind and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. The key to this look is simply a flowy frock and bright kicks.

LaLa Anthony

We love how LaLa embodied elevated sportswear with a heather grey ribbed tank and skirt combo and super sexy caged heels. Don’t be afraid to get casually sexy with your ensemble and finish things off with a hot shoe.

Gabrielle Union

We can’t get over how cute Gabrielle Union looks in her jean on jean look. To add some pizzazz to your sneakers, take a cue from Union and go the Canadian Tuxedo route with a jean skirt and top.
