Fashion and the NBA are becoming highly intertwined with each other. The NBA pregame has become a showcase for players to exhibit their creativity. Long gone are times of extra-large sweatshirts and baggy jeans (sorry not sorry). Athlete’s now showcasing designer clothes, sneakers, and all the jewelry in-between. With limitless games and never-ending bank accounts, NBA players crack through themes and exciting launches quicker than any travel artist or influencer. Here are a couple of other NBA trends that keep coming up for us this year.

Highly Plaid Pants

Solid plaid pants and similarly bold streetwear have been a major step for newcomers and adults alike this year. NBA guys love them for the very same cause that we all do: they have your focus, but they’re still grounded in a classic spot. I remember a colleague telling me a couple of years ago that these would be big, I didn’t believe him. Who’s got pie on their face now…

White Athletic Socks

Here’s a look you can invest in for the long run. Classy fellas have been on white pleated socks for a while but the NBA does it edgier and greater. Over-average height appears to overstate the measurements, but gently scrunching white socks downward and pulling them over trousers just improves the impact and flex. Get behind this one, it’s a winner.

Non-NBA Athletic Merch

NBA guys enjoy merchandise more than the majority of us but they’re investing a lot of time getting their squad out on the hardwood. So off the field, you’re probably going to see them in NHL, or even their alma mater’s trendy jerseys, NFL, caps, and sweatshirts. Creativity is cool, but teamwork is everything. It’s cool to see these guys representing their college teams and cross-sport colleagues.

Heavy Leather

Leather and athletic events typically don’t combine (except for the 80’s), but the NBA guys have always been about bending style laws. This pattern is a futuristic flex by the league’s grandest dressers—and it may be our pick. Anyone may put on a pair of white socks; however purple leather culottes or leather combat vests demand true fashion confidence.

Matching Sets

NBA players are accustomed to having to wear jerseys that may help clarify their preference for a head-to-toe appearance. Matching suits are now common, and athletes also wear conventional tailoring. But we’ve witnessed a lot of fashion styles this year. The top and bottom are united by a crazy print.
You may not possess an NBA championship ring, but with minimal creativity, you will surely look like a basketball player. If we’ve learned something from our profound style of these style patterns, it’s that there’s not one style to be trendy, whether it’s an informal or formal event. Look no further than the NBA draft to see how outrageous these matching suits can get!

Statement Jewelry is bold and distinctive in style. It allows the wearer to wear their personality. Statement rings were labeled for a reason—they establish a powerful statement with their eloquence, step out with their elegance, and make all eyes pop with an attitude of admiration. They’ve been around for decades, and they’ve lived up to their reputation pretty well. If you are searching for the right piece to match all of your dresses, the statement rings are the best alternative for every time of the year. It may be tough for those who are accustomed to being a bit more traditional and go for plain or subtle rings, but statement rings are special. Following are the reasons why you should consider wearing a statement ring.

• You heighten your appearance in a very stress-free way by using such a form of rings. Be it a day or night, they can be very sophisticated or formal, and ideal at any moment. You can have them on their own or with a good combination of simple bracelets.

• If you like simple metal rings, statement rings are perfect since you can mix them however you want. Be it silver, gold, or both, the comparison will still look fresh. You also can attempt to combine fabrics, colors, patterns, and shapes; with this kind of ring, you can allow your creativity to flow.

• They’re boss.
  We rarely have come across a statement ring that doesn’t scream ‘boss’. They’re big, well-designed and stand out amongst the crowd of ‘same-same’.

• Finally, if statement rings are good enough for NBA & Premier League stars, hey, they’re good enough for us regular folk. Look to pair your new ring with a stripped back look to highlight the product and really let it shine through.

The pandemic has resulted into a much more health-conscious world as most consumers now look for fitness war to match this unprecedented time. This has particularly led to a sharp growth in the athleisure market over the last few months. Athleisure has a long, charted history on the clothing line. While we understand that you probably have your go-to brands for most of the sweatpants, leggings, yoga pants and workout wear, we think there are some new brands you might want to try out. Check out our top five up & coming Athleisure Brands.

Solely Fit

Talking about a brand for the season, Solely Fit was founded right in the middle of Covid. And just like the name suggests, it has everything that you need to make your body feel like it is yours again. Most wears elevate the body and balances almost any body size or shape. And it was launched by ABC News reporter Stefania Okolie.

WVVY

Well, we haven’t quite mastered how to pronounce this brand just yet, but there is a certainty that it would catch on with time. The line was influenced by Britney Vest’s Love for California and the ocean and spots an array of athleisure wears such as leggings, sports bras, biker shorts, and cropped hoodies and so on. It was launched by Britney Vest, in conjunction with HSN.

EVNT

This name originated from the French phrase “en avant” which means to move forward. EVNT is driven by getting the best materials for your wears and they hold themselves to a high standard of good quality and affordable athleisure wears. This is why the line spent about two years, trying to perfect its trademark fabric, Enavance. This fabric boasts a different level of efficiency sand gives a great feeling for the body. This line is definitely on course to challenge the likes of Los Angeles-based cloth wear makerAll Hail Alo Yoga, and Lululemon.

ATHLETIKAN

Full disclosure, we’ve had a bit of an insight into the growth of Athletikan personally having worked with the guys before. They exploded onto the scene in 2017 by launching only one shoe! They’ve since expanded their range big-time and are seeing huge growth worldwide, having collaborated with some of the biggest UFC athletes on the globe, as well as DJ’s, celebs & fitness personalities. It’s a daunting task trying to break into an industry held tightly by only a few brands, but they’re certainly carving their own niche. Check out their athleisure kicks here.

OFFLINE by Aerie

If you are looking for an athleisure line made essentially for comfort, movement and of course style, then look no further than this line. It is available online and plans are in the works to have two retail locations at place we do not exactly know yet. Their leggings, sports bras and other athleisure wears are quite affordable and costs just a little over $40.

Mind Body Love

One unique feature of products under this line is the fact that a great number of clothing is in white and black. It is a new collection for workout and gym-goers. It was launched by Alina Villasante in June, with eight distinct pieces for pre and post workout sessions.
