Trending: Sporty-Chic Style

Who knew pairing a dress with sneakers could look THIS cute? Sporty style has been tearing up the runways for the past few seasons, and it’s clear that this trend is staying in the game long-term. Teen Vogue captured VS Angel (and street style star) Karlie Kloss’s fresh, sporty ensemble and let’s just say we’re OBSESSED. We love how she dressed down a chic minidress with a statement varsity jacket and simple white sneaks. The secret to pulling this look off? It’s all in the dress. Karlie chose an athletic-inspired mini in a casual knit fabric, making the transition from flirty to sporty a little less dramatic.

WHAT’S SEXY NOW: A Lingerie Retrospective at FIT

“The design of lingerie enhances its allure: it strategically reveals, conceals, and highlights the wearer’s form. As French lingerie designer Chantal Thomass observed, ‘The essence and attitude of lingerie is all in suggestion.“

–Colleen Hill, MFIT curator

Believe it or not, Victoria’s Secret didn’t invent lingerie (shocking, right?). The Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) unlocks the mystery of intimate apparel through the ages in EXPOSED: A History of Lingerie, the Museum at FIT’s latest exhibit.

Starting with the whaleboned corsets & bustles of European royal courts, the well-edited retrospective takes us on a whirlwind tour of lingerie history: from modest-but-elaborate early-20th century dressing gowns to the modern, unstructured “camiknickers” of the Jazz Age; to the 1950s-Dior petticoats and structured undergarments (very Betty Draper) through the mod/minimalist aesthetic of the 60s, all the way to today’s super-provocative styles. With this exhibit, lingerie proves its enduring power to thrill. (And be sure to keep an eye out for a sexy appearance by yours truly!)

You can experience the exhibit for yourself at The Museum At FIT through November 15.
