Cool girls in NYC and L.A. are wearing trends that I have been waiting to try for spring. As soon as the weather hits 60 degrees, you'll see me sporting (pun not intended) these top five sportif trends that have graced my Instagram timeline. I've never been a sporty girl, but I love sportif fashion trends just as much as the next person.
These trends are casual, comfortable, and easy to style. Fashion people seem to think so, too. Influencers and people I've seen IRL are wearing sportif-esque outfits that I'm inspired by. Runways have unveiled sporty looks, and the internet has definitely caught on. From track pants to jersey shirts, these laid-back athletic trends are about to be the It-trends of spring.
If you're into the idea of sporty, but chic outfits for spring in 2026, keep scrolling through for outfit inspiration and shop these trends.
Track Pants
Track pants haven't always been seen as a fashion item, but influencers have at least convinced me otherwise. You can style them like below with a tank top and sandals, or with a linen button-down and flats.
Varsity Jackets
A varsity jacket is a classic sporty item, and cool girls have brought it back. Fashion forward people are wearing them with jeans and accessorizing with sunglasses and handbags.
Jersey Shirts
I've always loved wearing a jersey as a kid, and now I can't wait to wear them again. They look so cool with baggy pants or jeans. If you want to add contrast, switch a pair of sneakers for flats like the look below.
Track Jackets
I'm not a runner, but I dress like one sometimes. Track jackets are my favorite trend out of these. This spring, everyone will catch me in outfits similar to the one below: a track jacket and baggy jeans.
Baseball Caps
Baseball caps are perfect for those bad hair days. I love throwing on a Yankees cap with my basic outfits to add a little spice to them. Matching your baseball cap to you sneakers like this outfit below is a stylish and subtle and very NYC, L.A. cool-girl.
