"Retro Athletic" Seems to Be the New Trend and These Celebs Are Proof

There’s no denying that the country-club version of athleisure is back again, as spotted on the comfy and chic ensembles donned by today’s most stylish stars. Dubbed as "Retro Athletic", the trend’s allure traces its roots back to the sartorial graces of the ‘80s, when preppy fashion coincided with fitness craze. 

Anchored by crisp whites, athletic color-blocking, flouncy skirts, and more, this look proves that grand slam style works on and off the court! Curious about this trend? Scroll away for some celeb-approved tricks to pull off fashion’s latest ‘it’ aesthetic.

LOOK: 7 Celebs Sporting Retro Athletic Outfits:

1. Kelsey Merritt

For a fun pickleball match, VS darling Kelsey Merritt opted for a pared-back cool style with a New Balance skort, white tank top, and a trusty pair of sneakers. She looks oh-so-competitive but still chic!

2. Barbie Imperial

The Kapamilya star is revered for her candy-colored outfits, so it only makes sense that her tennis club wardrobe has a similar appeal! We love how preppy she looks in a cropped polo shirt paired with a classic white shirt and a baseball cap.

3. Sarah Lahbati

Spotted: Perennial cool girl SLG is serving some serious, fashion-forward look in an all-white set polished with a black blazer. Her pink tresses certainly made her look stand out even more!

What better way to turn heads than in a blinding nose of neon? Sue schools us on a thing or two about picnic outfits, making a case for masterful color-blocking with an orange pleated skirt and hot pink turtleneck.
