About Sportswear

Sportswear offered a practical system of dressing: comfortable pieces that could work together and move between parts of the day. In the American fashion tradition, the word includes everyday separates and easy dresses as well as clothes influenced by sport. The seventies wrap dress made this approach especially visible, while softer jackets and trousers expanded women’s options. Simple closures, useful fabrics and flexible combinations helped turn versatility into a desirable quality, allowing a wardrobe to respond to the wearer’s daily life.
