Whether or not you actually like sports is beside the point.&nbsp;

<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/shop-best-athleisure-brands-according-to-celebrities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Athleisure</a> defined the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/2010-forgotten-fashion-trends-celebrity-tumblr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2010s</a>. We traded in our jeans for Lululemon <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/legging-trends-instagram-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">leggings</a>, wore track pants with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/gold-heels-for-women-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heels</a>, and relished the novelty of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/summer-sneakers-to-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sneakers</a> for every occasion.&nbsp;Now, we&rsquo;re kicking the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/90s-sportswear-trend-spring-summer-2021-celine-gucci" target="_blank" rel="noopener">athletic</a> themes up a notch by repping our favorite <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/simone-biles-withdraws-us-gymnastics-team-final-tokyo-olympics" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sports teams</a> (or at least looking like it).
Brands like Fila and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/adidas-originals-prada-resource-nft-metaverse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adidas</a> have crafted a new sartorial code defined by sports. Exhibit A: the Samba. Luxury fashion brands like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/miu-miu-fall-winter-2023-collection-looks-runway-photos" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miu Miu</a> have increasingly drawn inspiration from niche sports, adding the words <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/tenniscore-preppy-style-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tenniscore</a>, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-style-balletcore-trend-ballet-flats" target="_blank" rel="noopener">balletcore</a>, and even <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/stirrup-pant-fashion-comeback-diesel-ysl-balenciaga" target="_blank" rel="noopener">equestrian-core</a> into our <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-make-tik-tok-trends-high-fashion-corsets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok fashion</a> vocabulary.

Looking further back, &lsquo;90s <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/why-are-tiktokers-hating-on-streetwear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">streetwear</a> was similarly characterized by athletic references, with NFL <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/fall-coats-for-women-shopping" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bombers</a> and LA Lakers tees spotted on just about every <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/celebrity-baby-news-2023-pregnancy-announcements" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebrity</a> at the time. Basically, athletic themes have been somewhat of a slow burn in the fashion landscape, lending longevity to the sporty trend. Now that many are growing bored of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/ballet-flats-to-shop-tory-burch-miu-miu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ballet flats</a> and designer <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/history-of-tennis-whites-trend-summer-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tennis</a> bags, we&rsquo;re returning to the trend&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-get-thin-90s-eyebrows-without-plucking-brow-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nineties</a> roots, to a more on-the-nose riff on athleticism.&nbsp;

On May 5, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/rihanna-met-gala-2023-arrival-fashion-celebrity-style" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rihanna</a> was spotted wearing a white leather <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/moto-jackets-that-are-perfect-for-winter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">moto jacket</a> featuring a standout orange <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/politics-culture/ralph-lauren-new-york-yankees-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees</a> logo and black <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/art/daniel-arsham-galerie-perrotin-2018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spray paint</a> details. Merging <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/designer-baseball-caps-celine-kaia-gerber" target="_blank" rel="noopener">baseball</a> attire with <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-style-the-racer-jacket-trend-outerwear" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racing</a>, this branded team reference is a refreshing contrast from the ultra-refined sporty looks dominating as of late.

Don&rsquo;t have a favorite sports team? No problem! For <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/willy-chavarria-spring-2019" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Willy Chavarria</a>&rsquo;s Fall/Winter 2023 fashion show, <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/julia-fox-it-girl-fashion-moments-style-icon-muse" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Julia Fox</a> paired a sheer jersey top that cheekily read &ldquo;Catechism&rdquo; with a pair of baggy black-and-white trousers displaying the intentionally prosaic &ldquo;sports.&rdquo; We&rsquo;ve also seen the non-sports team sports team approach extended to nonsensical words with varsity lettering, as well as sporty-looking pieces depicting the names of <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/telfar-clemens-live-price-redefining-luxury-shopping-fashion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">luxury fashion</a> houses &mdash; an iteration of the trend aptly dubbed athluxury.

Athletic team apparel is <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/shopping/cargo-pants-for-women-to-shop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">effortlessly cool</a>. From branded jerseys to baseball caps, there are endless ways to integrate your favorite (or pretend favorite) team into your summer wardrobe. See our favorite sporty inspiration below.
