Baseball Jersey & Trainers

It has been reported from the streets of Milan and Paris fashion week that baseball jerseys are the new must-wear for spring/summer 2014. 

Chic sports gear is making its debut on the streets of high fashion cities, so why not adopt the look by digging through your wardrobe and finding your favourite supporters sports top or old high school sporting jacket. This look is casual and comfortable, giving off that boy-next-door look. The New York fashion week which happened this month revealed a new line of sporting jerseys, specifically the arrival of football sweaters with a twist. Instead of having football player’s names featured at the back of the jersey, designers are now printing their own names across the back such as Les Plus Dorés.

Baseball jerseys are frequently seen in stores around South Africa. Mr Price has a number of fashionable sporting jerseys for only R119.99, available in various colours (red and grey, blue and grey and maroon and white). You can buy a middle-of-the-range baseball jersey from Truworths, Uzzie for R525.00 and if you are wanting to invest in a top-quality jacket, visit Country Road (in Woolworths) to buy your baseball jerseys (product name ‘Varsity Jacket’) for R1299.00.

Pair your baseball jersey with a stylish pair of rolled up (to the ankle) skinny jeans or chinos. Showing off a bit of your ankle when rolling up your pants ever so slightly not only serves your best interest in the hot summer weather but also portrays you to be the fashionisto you are. Pair the boyish outfit with a pair of fashionable trainers/sneakers, which are available in countless colours and brand types - these shoes are no longer to be worn solely for sporting activities but is a wardrobe must-have. New Balance, Nike, Le Coq Sportif, Woolworths and any sports store will stock this stylish footwear (prices range from roughly R300-R1500).
