Coat serves as a magnet for compliments
On a chilly Wednesday in January, a fashion enthusiast donned a white long-sleeve tee to create a crop top look. However, the day took an unexpected turn when a matcha spill incident left a stain on the white shirt. But fear not, for the denim coat with sherpa lining came to the rescue, covering the stain and adding a warm, cozy, and stylish touch to the outfit.
The main focus of the outfit was undoubtedly the denim coat, which was on sale. Pairing it with the right accessories was key to maintaining the sporty-chic vibe. A pair of New Balance 530 Sneakers, available in various colours, added a touch of athleticism to the ensemble.
To complement the sporty look, an inexpensive strand of pearls was worn. The author opted for a simple, durable pearl strand that didn't feel too formal. To achieve the right balance between sporty and elegant, minimal or gold-plated elements were added, and the pearls were layered with casual or beaded jewelry.
For those seeking an affordable pearl necklace suitable for a sporty look, consider the following options:
- The 8mm White Cultured Freshwater Pearl Necklace with rhodium over sterling silver (18 inches) at $49.99 offers a polished yet subtle look, perfect for pairing with sporty or casual attire.
- The Cariad Beaded Freshwater Pearl Collar Necklace from Oliver Bonas features a gold-plated beaded design with freshwater pearls in a collar style (40-45 cm length). This modern collar-length necklace blends pearls with trendy beads, lending a stylish, less formal vibe great for sporty or casual outfits.
- Macy’s offers Cultured Freshwater Pearl Pendants and Strands (7-8 mm pearls) in sterling silver at reasonable prices around $70 and up, which can be layered or paired with sporty pieces for a fresh, versatile look.
When choosing pearls for a sporty look, it's essential to avoid overly delicate or large pearls that feel strictly formal. Instead, opt for freshwater pearls with smaller sizes (7-8mm) and practical closures like lobster clasps for comfort and security during active wear.
To complete the outfit, the author accessorised with a Madewell Broken-In Baseball Cap, priced at $29.50. For those on a budget, an Uniqlo Nylon Bag, priced at $19.90, was used. The Mejuri Beaded Ring, priced at $166.60, and the Jenny Bird Medium Tome Earrings, priced at $98.00, added a touch of elegance to the look.
Interestingly, the author found a similar pair of pants to the ones worn in the outfit in the form of the Everlane Satin Pull On Pant, which is currently on sale at $35.00. Another option is the Reformation Olina Silk Pant, which is similar to the pants worn in the outfit.
In conclusion, with the right mix of sporty and elegant pieces, one can create a chic outfit that's both comfortable and stylish. Whether you're heading to the gym or brunch with friends, these pearl necklace options are a great way to add a touch of sophistication to your sporty look.
The sporty-chic ensemble was not overly fancy, favoring a casual and comfortable lifestyle. The denim coat, on sale, was the star accessory, effortlessly transitioning from a workout to brunch.
For an affordable pearl necklace that complements the sporty aesthetic, consider the 8mm White Cultured Freshwater Pearl Necklace, offering a subtle and polished style without being too formal.
The home and garden were not just locations for the author, but also sources of inspiration. The Everlane Satin Pull On Pant, resembling those in the outfit, was discovered from a homeware store sale, demonstrating that fashion can be found in unexpected places.
