How to Style Athletic Dresses and Rompers For a Perfectly Sporty Vibe

For the everyday sporty look, start with the Athleta Expedition Dress ($98). This loose-cut dress features a front zipper and drawstring waist to ensure max comfort, as well as mesh ventilation for cooling and built-in shorts for extra coverage. Pair with a classic white sneaker like the Ora Recovery Shoe 2 ($90) and a sun-ready floppy hat ($38), then top it all off with an adventure-friendly phone case like this set from Cordée Cases ($57).

Even sporty looks can have a preppy touch! The Athleta Topsin Dress ($169) features a fun twist on a shirt dress with a drawcord waist that can be cinched and adjusted to get the look you want. Style this classic shirt dress with a crisp ball cap ($29), a monogrammed card case ($59), and a canvas tote like the legendary LL Bean Boat and Tote ($45), and you're tennis-club ready.

If you're looking to channel the sporty look after hours, the Athleta Brooklyn Heights Wide Leg Jumpsuit ($139) is a great way to bring in a little athletic love to your work or date style. We like this monochrome jumpsuit partnered with a chunky platform sandal ($295), a modern take on the trench ($189), and laptop bag that can double as a purse ($178).

Who says a fit-and-flare dress like the Athleta Santorini Midi Dress ($98) can't possibly be sporty? This swing-style dress is light and breezy and is the perfect balance to the often more sleek vibes of athletic wear. Style this dress with a chunky, all-weather sneaker like KINETIC™ BREAKTHRU DAY LACE from Sorel ($125) and a smooth layer like the Athleta Wayfarer Bomber Jacket ($159). Round it all out with a big and bold, retro-inspired watch ($140).

Picnic days, beach combing, farmer's market runs: No matter what your spring weekends look like, the dreamy Athleta Presidio Dress ($98) is up for it. This high-low, free-flowing dress is a great base for your sporty spring style. Accessorize with a portable straw bag ($36) and quirky claw clip ($18). Then layer an oversized quilted jacket ($169) on top just in case spring showers kick in.

Those who count hiking and cycling as spring must haves would do well to turn to the Athleta Balance Jumpsuit ($98) as their new go-to. This semi-fitted jumpsuit features soft-to-the-touch fabric for all-around stretch and flexibility. To complete your adventuring look, opt for a cozy jacket like the Athleta Triumph Hybrid Jacket ($139), and reach for a trail-friendly bag ($119) and water bottle ($45).

The Athleta Savannah Jumpsuit ($129) is the perfect option for pool-side vibes. We like the retro feel of the wide leg — it taps into that '70s "tennis star on vacation" look. Top off the vintage sporty style with a water-friendly sandal ($45) and a sun-protecting visor ($29).
