Since sneakers made one small step on the runway of fashion in Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld's 2014 AW Chanel show, it's been a giant leap for sportswear. Shoes, sweats and slip-ons are getting more attention from designers and fashion houses.

Wearing the right colors

Most sportswear brands have introduced bright colors this season. Fluorescent colors are definitely the right choice, or stick to fresh and light hues to balance out the heavy feel of workout shirts. And, don't forget to include socks when color matching.
