Well, let’s go!
In the photo above – the most fashionable trail runner, Patrick Stangby. Immediately it is worth noting the absence of bright and acid colors. All colors are dark and blend well with each other. If a running vest, then black. High socks are a must. Shorts, thermal jacket and cap – satisfy, glasses district vision, vest Salomon S/lab, shoes norda, Falke socks.
Bandana is combined in shades with sneakers. Long liner shorts (bottom skin-tight layer – approx. ed.) is the outgoing trend of the last three years. Dark, dull colors. Socks, however, could have been worn higher.
In general, here is the main fashion insight for you: the trail is the future “new black”.
In the photo – a minimalistic monochrome outlook, but with socks again a miss – a little longer. Colored mirrored lenses add accent and complete this look. On the picture Ben Morrow – Indie brand founder Miler Running. Shorts and T-shirt just from this brand, vest Salomon S/lab, shoes Salomon, glasses district vision.
Everything is great here! Crop tops – self-cut t-shirts – the trend of the new season. And running in “hebehe” (cotton fabric) is a classic that is always relevant. Black high socks? Yes, it is black and yes – it is high! Relaxed looks for chilly summer runs. Matthew Meyer in a cap from Ciele Athletics.
Race-mode and a great example that you can look great in the mass market. Total look from Nike: black sprinters, slightly elongated longsleeve. Monochrome style with a color accent on sneakers.
And of course, futuristic glasses Oakley Kato – they alone can make you the most fashionable in the area.
Winter style from Victor Smangs. Joggers instead of tights, high socks, bandana around the neck. Everything is in monochrome colors and, again, the emphasis is on shoes. Everything but sneakers running is dead.
Another racing bow. Monochrome colors, tank top and shorts. The stripes on the toes and pedals complement each other perfectly. And subtle color accents on the shoes complete the look.
T-shirt – running is dead, shorts – Run Amok by Roark, socks and sneakers – adidas.
An example of how you can use socks to complement bright sneakers and at the same time look fashionable and relevant.
The main rule is that there should be only one bright accent! Everything else is neutral or preferably black. And of course, a bandana, especially with such a chic hairstyle. Total bow adidas off Peter Lundgren.
T-shirt and sneakers match perfectly in colors. The length of the socks meets the beauty standards. Well, where without a bandana?
In the photo, the head of meditation practices in the running indie community is Hakim Tafari. T-shirt and cargo sprinters – satisfy, socks – Ten Thousand, sneakers Diadora.
The main mood of the bow is created by the dusty shades of a cotton T-shirt and hair color. Lee Gerson – Captain of the Satisfy team at The Speed Project epic race.
Shorts with an elongated liner in animal colors are a hot trend of past seasons. Most importantly, all clothes are relaxed fit, gender neutral, without vulgarity. Total bow from satisfy.
Brad Popple flexit with a rocker bow – leopard print shorts and a torn oil-tee (muscle tee – sleeveless t-shirt). A couple of years ago, the leopard was considered bad manners, but now it is back in fashion.
The main thing is not to overdo it with bright details, otherwise you risk turning into a gypsy baron. Another total bow from satisfy.
White trail sneakers are definitely the trend of recent years. Great combination of dusty pink oil and tie-dye socks print. Adam Voidoid shows how loose and short shorts are great for summer runs. Total bow from satisfy, sneakers norda.
First, this Michael Verstig is an ultra-runner known in narrow circles, an ambassador of the Satisfy brand. Secondly, he is wearing a cotton crop top with a perfect fringe. And thirdly, he is wearing a bandana, which is the color accent of this bow.
Joggers are always in trend, the dark color of the top and bottom with light sneakers create a contrasting and voluminous look. Total bow from Soar, sneakers Karhu.
Scandinavian minimalism from the Swedes from running is dead. Monochrome women’s bow – simple and tasteful. Glasses district vision.
Loose fit, cotton t-shirt, bright fuchsia shorts – everything goes well with punk running style. Total bow from satisfy.
Another example of a good socks game from Davy Greenberg. Black tops and bottoms, bright socks that echo the sneakers. Shorts with extended liner.
Winter option: neutral, muted colors, tights tucked into socks of the right length, loose, slightly elongated jacket. Total bow from 7 Days Active, Nike sneakers.
