3 summer fitness trends to try right now, plus the best gear for each one
Anything striped
Score some easy style points with a simple dress in a graphic pattern. It's always a winner in our books.
Y-3 jacket, $320, Sporting Life. Dress, $160, Banana Republic. Nike shoes, $70, Sport Chek.
Playful skirt
Retro shapes like this '50s-inspired circle skirt make for happy days. (Bobby socks optional.)
Skirt, price on request, Line Knitwear. Shoes, $125, Lacoste. Vest, $46, American Apparel. Top, $30, Gap. Nike wristband, $8, Sport Chek.
Beauty note: For a simple, sporty daytime look, even out skin tone with a tinted moisturizer or BB cream. Darken brows slightly with powder or a pencil. Sweep a light wash of taupe eyeshadow over the eye and skip the mascara. Dust a golden peachy blush on the apple of the cheek and finish with a lip colour that's a little deeper than your natural tone.
Get this look: Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Laced, $22. Smashbox Halo Long Wear Blush in Peachy Dream, $29. Shiseido Perfect Rouge Lipstick in Secret, $30.
Bermuda shorts
Heads up! Long tailored shorts are making a comeback, and they're pitch perfect for both work and play.
Shorts, $130, BCBG. Shoes, $125, Lacoste. Top, $49, Joe Fresh. Socks, $8, Sport Chek.
Head-to-toe sporty
Take note: Athletic pieces can feel luxurious and still look casual (think sleek, not sloppy). Make a statement with soft silks, dressy leggings and knockout accessories.
