What bag to wear with a tracksuit?
Sports style is one of the most difficult in terms of creating a fashionable image. And in order to look "spic and span" in a tracksuit, it is important to choose not only the right shoes, but also a bag, and also know how to combine them.
In this publication we will consider the following questions:
- Basic rules of combination.
- Models of bags for a tracksuit.
- Sizes of bags and their functionality.
BASIC RULES OF COMBINATION
A classic, sporty, evening or casual look should be complemented by a bag of the appropriate style. Under no circumstances should you combine a tracksuit with a conservative and strict classic bag, related to business and office styles. This combination looks tasteless. Miniature and elegant evening clutches are also prohibited.
Especially for the representatives of the strong and beautiful half of humanity, who want to know what bag to wear with a tracksuit and shoes to look stylish and fashionable, the basic rules of combination have been developed. These are 4 universal solutions for combining a bag by color and 4 general rules for choosing accessories. Using them, everyone will learn how to create flawless looks.
Four universal solutions for combining a bag by color
Solution one: the bag and shoes are different in color.
The standard of your outfit is guaranteed by a simple rule - a maximum of 2 main colors should be present in a sports image. A larger number, as a rule, looks pretentious (although there are exceptions). If you have chosen a bag in the same color as the tracksuit, in this case, take shoes in the color of the vest, which is worn over the sports jacket. If the suit is two-color, the bag can match the bottom, and the shoes the top, but it can also be the other way around. For fashionistas and fashionistas with curvy shapes, the accessory should be chosen in a contrasting color. Playing on contrast visually reduces the volume of the figure. People of normal build will suit a bag of any shade.
Solution two: a bag and shoes of the same color.
Today, monochromatic accessories are not a sign of bad taste, as was previously thought. You will be surprised how well such a combination looks if you “link” it with the most faded (inconspicuous) or brightest item of clothing - to persistently emphasize it. For example, if you are wearing a red tracksuit and a beige bandeau top, the best choice would be beige shoes and a bag.
Solution three: the image contains three main colors.
This is exactly the case that we called an exception. Having three main colors in the image, it is important to understand which item of clothing to choose shoes, a bag and other accessories for. If your goal is a bright and memorable image, combine the bag and shoes with the brightest item of clothing. And if you want a calm and discreet outfit, the accessories should be the same color as the most inconspicuous item of your image.
Solution four: a monochrome look.
Any accessories will look harmonious with a black and white tracksuit. Against the background of a monochrome outfit, an expressive bag and shoes will turn into eye-catching accents. The main thing is to dilute the black and white outfit with a shade close to white or black, for example, wear a graphite T-shirt or an ivory blouse.
Four General Rules for Selecting Accessories
Since a bag is the same accessory as sunglasses, jewelry, a belt, gloves, four general rules for choosing accessories apply to it. They help create a complete image from disparate things, and are applicable to absolutely any accompanying item of clothing.
- An outfit doesn't have to be boring. To complete the look, a pair of stylish sneakers and a trendy bag are no longer enough. This doesn't mean that you have to hang yourself from head to toe with everything in your arsenal of accessories, but a matching headdress and/or glasses will allow you to softly complete the outfit.
- A bag must look expensive. It is an accessory, and accessories always receive extra attention. The item may have a budget price tag, but it must definitely be of high quality.
- The color and texture of the accessory should match the specific age. What suits a teenager, looks ridiculous on a business woman, and vice versa.
- The bag must match not only clothes and shoes, but also other accessories. There should be harmony in everything.
The selected bag can be used as an addition to a tracksuit, or as an accent to attract attention. Depending on the situation, you can use one or the other approach, because each of them is effective in its own way. And a wide selection of bag models will help you with this.
MODELS OF BAGS FOR A SPORTS SUIT
A sports bag has been and remains a popular accessory, regardless of changes in fashion trends and standards of male and female beauty. It is needed to compactly pack everything you need, wherever you are going: for a walk, a picnic, a party, to the gym, to the tennis court or to a dance studio. There are no problems with choosing this accessory - manufacturers offer a decent range of these products in any price range. Among the most common models, we note: a classic sports bag, a backpack, a sling bag, a postman bag, a banana bag, a bag-sack, a tote bag, a shopper bag.
A classic sports bag in the form of a duffel bag, a satchel or a backpack. Sizes range from very small to impressive. Many have a shoe compartment. Women's and men's models differ in color. The design, construction and size depend on the type of sport for which the accessory is intended. Thanks to good functionality, many people enjoy using classic sports bags for travel and everyday life.
A backpack is a shoulder bag for long-term carrying of various things on the back. With the help of soft straps and unloading, the accessory hugs the body from the back, reducing the load on the shoulder area. Manufacturers offer stylish and comfortable backpacks that easily accommodate a certain set of things, be it: sports equipment for the gym, gadgets or office supplies. The collection includes men's, unisex and decidedly feminine backpacks. The latter have brighter colors and various decor. In addition to the stylistic design, the shoulder bags differ in volume.
"Postman" is a medium-sized bag with a strong wide strap. It is worn exclusively over the shoulder. It is perfect for stylizations in a sporty and casual style. It exists in men's and women's versions. A convenient solution for anyone who does not like large bags, but would like to have a fairly roomy accessory.
And with such an accessory as a sling bag, you can forget about the problems associated with putting small items in your pockets or carrying them in your hands. It is also called a "holster" or a mini-backpack with one strap. Convenient, minimalist, stylish. The format is small, but it is enough to place a smartphone, keys, wallet, powerbank and even a compact umbrella inside. The wide strap does not pinch or squeeze. The comfortable handle allows you to wear the bag on your wrist. The available internal and external compartments allow you to always keep your bag in order and easily find the required item at the right time.
"Banana" or a belt bag with a strap for wearing either on the waist or on the shoulder. Previously, "bananas" were called oblong bags that were used by traders. But today, this is the name for almost any belt accessory, regardless of shape. The bag does not restrict movement, and the phone, money and other small items will not hang around in the pockets. In addition, not every tracksuit has the required number of pockets.
A shopper bag is a large organizer with two handles, without a fastener or zipper, where you can place a lot of purchased things. Suitable not only for shopping, but also for trips to nature. Advantages: capacity, practicality, simplicity and elegance, versatility. Varieties: "dome bag", "diplomat", "bucket bag".
BAG SIZES AND THEIR FUNCTIONALITY OR HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
When choosing a bag for a sports wardrobe, the size of the accessory and functionality are important. Functionality is the set of possibilities that the bag provides. Regardless of the size, the bag should be ergonomic, comfortable and well-thought-out inside. And its size will largely depend on the purpose for which the accessory is needed. For a fashionable addition to a sporty or casual look, a medium or small format product is quite sufficient. And for sports, a voluminous version will be required. Its size will be determined by the volume of contents it must hold.
In addition to size and functionality, parameters such as:
- material,
- style,
- color.
The first one affects the durability and presentable appearance of the product. Therefore, it is important that the bag is durable, not afraid of moisture and sun, and that its maintenance is as simple as possible. The second parameter determines how you will wear the bag: on your belt, in your hands, over your shoulder or on your shoulders. And the color determines how well the bag will fit into your sporty look.
