The mood: Sportswear was given a revamp at the spring/summer shows, with sheer fabrics and graphic prints adding a sleek, streamlined feel to sporty inspired looks.
The must-haves: The addition of zips, mesh inserts, fluorescent trims and panels on mini dresses, shorts and shirts will instantly point towards the sportswear influence without looking like a gym kit in disguise.
