Blog 4: Fashion and Sports

Nowadays, it is not uncommon to see a famous female tennis player wearing a well-designed skirt in the game. Moreover, many famous brands rush to invite the top athletes to make advertisements .All those phenomena indicate that fashion and sports are associated with each other.
Firstly, both fashion and sports give people visual enjoyment. To enhance this effect, many fashion elements are added to sports games. Not only the trendy clothes but also pop music is included. This kind of variation does make games more enjoyable, but it also brings about troubles. For instance, Chinese female table tennis players are bothered that they are required to wear skirts during games. Since they used to play table tennis in shorts, female players find it uncomfortable to dress in skirts. They claim that the skirt is a distraction even for themselves because they will have to worry about whether the skirt is too short while they are moving. Therefore, it remains to discuss what kinds of fashion styles are suitable to be applied to sports.
Besides, sports also have an impact on the fashion field. More frequently, sports stars’ faces appear in the fashion magazine. Some of them, such as Serena Williams ,even have their own fashion brands. Personally, I think it is good that sports style can be a trend. People who pursue fashion used to be crazy about skinny models, but now, sports style has brought a healthier choice.
In general, fashion adds more attraction to sports, and sports makes fashion more positive.

  3. While I know a few about fashion. But I think you are right. Sometimes sports and fashion should be combined. While we have to say not all fashion is fit for sports. Just like what you said that some Chinese female table tennis players are bothered that they are required to wear skirts. We should see the situation.

  4. You have a very objective attitude towards the relationship between fashion and sports. Many sports stars can lead a fashion and influence opinions of the public to the sports that the sports is not dull and serious now and stars can create beauty out of the gyms. Beckham is a very good example. However, as you say, some fashions can be distractions for audience and athletes, so I hope the athletes can make good use of the fashion and be good models.

  7. You really have a special view about fashion and sport. I have never noticed this before. I agree with you about visual enjoyment but they may not the similar. The visual enjoyment is one important element for sport. I will learn to appreciate the beauty of fashion in sport. There is also the star effect on fashion but the sport star could just be a puppet for ad.
