While fashion is taking a turn toward maximalism this spring, with vibrant retro prints and high-impact colors becoming hot trends, we’re noticing many celebrities embracing the retro-sporty mood this season. There was no shortage of sporty looks on the Spring/Summer 2026 runways, with brands like Prada, Loewe and Lii Studio offering blazers and everything from statement skirts to hot pants. It was only a matter of time before this trend hit the streets—many of our favorite celebrities are taking a low-key approach to sporting separates in real life.
The Best Sports Items Inspired by Celebrities
Kendall Jenner recently stepped out in Los Angeles wearing her deconstructed tracksuit. Starting with an oversized traditional jacket (a major talking point on the show), she added a white sports bra and cotton poplin pants underneath, finishing with black Adidas Superstar sneakers — a retro style we’ve been eyeing for a renaissance. Hailey Bieber, meanwhile, went casual in her own way, pairing a cropped technical zip with royal blue sweatpants and adding sleek black kicks from her extensive sneaker collection and her signature oval-framed optics.
However, you don’t have to keep your workout clothes just for off-duty time or when going to and from the gym. During fashion month, we saw supermodel Paloma Elsesser pair a balloon-sleeved bomber jacket with a sequined midi skirt and lace-up Mary Janes, while Alexa Chung opted for silky lace-trimmed tap shorts paired with a funnel-neck trench coat, paired with Miu Miu kitten heels and a tote. Both outfits show how a blazer can take on a more feminine, dressy look.
If you’re looking for further proof to start incorporating sporty elements into your spring outfits, Jennifer Lawrence swapped out her favorite designer flip-flops from The Row for Adidas slippers (only $30) while out and about in New York City. The actress cleverly mixed them with minimalist wardrobe staples: a white T-shirt, flowy satin pants, and a puffy, unbuttoned silk dress that mimicked a cropped coat—an editor-approved spring styling tip.
