Way To Wear: Nike - Naomi

Topshop Premium White Blazer, Topshop Neon Sporty Dress, Topshop Grey Sweater, Primark Black Clutch, ASOS Sheer White Panel Socks, Nike Metallic Grey & Yellow High Tops

In the past I have always been a 'trainers belong in the gym' kind of girl but as you probably see by my previous blog posts I threw out the rule book and my sanity on moving to London! Now I like to experiment and try new things to see what works for me.

I have had these Nike high tops for around 3 years now and used to get teased in the gym for the eccentric style and pattern (not exactly gym trainers are they!?) Since then I felt like they had a better purpose in life and this outfit proves my point. With my busy lifestyle and being on my feet for 9 hours a day there comes a time when comfort comes into play.

Sports Luxe always makes a comeback, and every year we can clean up our act and strip back from the print overload. See Alexander Wang SS 13 for inspiration. This dress from Topshop is my version of sports luxe- neon and zips make it sporty yet the skater esq skirt and pattern make it girly. I wore it with my white premium blazer to keep it tailored and my grey sweatshirt round my waist for the unpredictable English weather!
Yes I did match the prints on my trainers to my dress (matchy matchy! That's pure luck!)
Dressy up top to get away with the trainer on bottom, I added some white sheer panel socks from ASOS which are perfect for the look and remind me of the sheer panelling on the Alexander Wang collection.

As I'm writing this on the tube I have seen 2 awful cases of black work uniform and formal coat with a bare leg and chunky trainer. Even if your feet are falling off this is NOT acceptable and this is more sports yuck and sports luxe! Sorry guys rant over and back to the point...

Trainers are everywhere in the magazines at the moment in all different prints, colours and styles. I love them worn with a printed trouser or tailored premium jogger and blazer. It's all about getting that balance between casual and chic and feeling 100% confident in your outfit choice! So let's kick back, be on trend and give our feet a rest this summer!

Metallica - Naomi

Topshop Premium White Blazer, Topshop Freedom Necklace, ASOS Black Top, Topshop Unique Metallic Runner Shorts, Ebay Transparent Clutch, Topshop Aggro Studded Boots

You don't have to tell me twice when it comes to metallic- I might as well be a magpie! If it's shiny, reflective, big, over the top then I'm all over it! Every year we get a premium sports luxe trend which gives us a break from madness and print and allows us to dress clean and tailored and slick everything back.

A mix of sports and metallic was seen on Alexander Wang (see photo below) this season with cut out shapes, premium tailoring and sporty silhouettes. Sheer panels in bodycon pieces are also key which Topshop are all over in their new premium trend 'Modern Knight'

This white blazer is one of my favourite buys it's great for all year round especially now in spring to throw over any outfits. It makes everything look premium and looks great with bright colours. I wore it with my statement Topshop Unique runner shorts... YES they are metallic copper! I love wearing them with a sporty look. Because the shorts are so statement I wore a simple bodycon black top underneath which is lycra. Finished off with a statement geometric necklace and my transparent clutch. A clean look which I put my Naomi spin on it by dressing it up with metallic, necklace and clutch bag.

To buy in to this look buy silky tops in bright neon orange, blazers and runner shorts or mesh panel leggings. To make it more dressy add statement geometric necklaces and a barely there sandal. Oh and don't forget a big oversized clutch. A great look for work, going out for drinks and heading into summer.
