(Sporty Couture) Style Files

With the summer Olympics opening in a week and the controversy surrounding Ralph Lauren’s opening ceremony outfits, we have sports and fashion on our minds.

According to Glamour, a style to keep this summer is sporty couture. The ultimate juxtaposition — pairing sports wear with your fancy pieces.

An unusual, but hot trend right now is the sport chic look. We’re not just talking about an elaborate workout outfit, but taking two totally different styles and putting them together. We’re turning to the Shops Around Lenox stores to conjure up this look. What happens when these sporty red shoes from Deka meet this peplum sheath from fab’rik? We are looking forward to mixing and matching the rest of the summer.
