Athletes love to shine not only in competitions, but also on the mats. Both current and former skaters and tennis players, thanks to their toned figures, can afford even the most daring outfits. Mini, slits, fit! We compiled strongly feminine looks for 2023 and asked a stylist to analyze them from the point of view of fashion potential.

A rather bold image that can cause controversial associations. On the one hand, any clothing looks good on young, slender girls. On the other hand, there is too much in this set and at the same time something is missing. There is a corset, lace, gloves, train and neckline…
It would be worth taking off the gloves and training. Add a long black or white jacket. This will make the image stricter and, consequently, the state.

María is incredible with this look! A correctly chosen silhouette favorably emphasizes the athlete’s figure. I would also like to mention the orange-red color, the trend for 2024. On a tennis player, she looks fresh and successfully enhances her light skin tone.
If you look at the whole image, it’s pretty closed. At the same time, we see a rather revealing cutout. In this way the image becomes complex and simple at the same time, because it is not overloaded with unnecessary details.

First of all I want to highlight the figure of Victoria, who looks like a porcelain figure with ideal proportions. This effect is achieved, among other things, thanks to the exaggeratedly large shoulders of the jacket. Against the background of her, a thin waist looks even smaller.
A floor-length silhouette dress in black visually lengthens your height. The color of the bag does not attract attention. You could say the look is boring, but the silver shoes add an accent.
By the way, this look would look heavier on a brunette, but blonde hair refreshes it. This look can be described in two words: minimalism and grace.

The dress is simple but elegant. The accentuated shoulders give it an edgy look, while the cutouts add a bold touch. Judging by the espadrilles, we can conclude that Elena wanted to create a beach look, but then she had to complement it with a straw bag or a hat.
If we start from the Channel bag, then it is better to choose open sandals for this look. They would continue with the idea of open parts of the dress. In this particular case, mixing styles didn’t help. This is a luxurious or relaxed outfit.

This image can be called “all the best at once.” Yes, we can mix gold and silver accessories, but in this case they only overloaded the image. Silver threads on the neck and jewelry on shoes, a Chanel bag decorated with gold – all this does not fit and spoils the perception.
Decorative flowers around the neck are already a decorative decoration. Here it is also complemented by shiny metal. I would advise removing the flower and replacing the bag with a silver one. Then the image would be more elegant.
Even a beige or nude bag would make it softer. At the same time, I note that the dress is beyond all praise, it can be classified as a calm luxury that is fashionable now.

Simone perfectly matched the color of the dress to her skin tone and hair color. The outfit itself is very fashionable and relevant: voluminous top, open shoulders, mini length. The result is a modern look that not only follows the rules of style, but also leaves room for individuality.
On the other hand, I would like to point out that if the color of the product were red or blue, the image would look vulgar.

The first thing we see when looking at Alexia is her cleavage, lips and waist. It’s good that there are no accessories in the image, otherwise there would be too many points of attention.
A simple white ensemble creates a fragile but monumental silhouette due to its long train. The small neckline of the blouse is well developed. Add sass. The right shade of lipstick also deserves praise. It’s shiny, but not heavy.

It’s good that there are no accessories in this look. When choosing such a bright and shiny dress, they are not necessary. Otherwise, you can turn into a “New Year tree”. The dress itself is already the main accent.
Overall, the look was perfect: simple hairstyle, minimalist earrings and calm makeup. The set perfectly enhances a slim and athletic figure.

Tatyana Navka has an ideal figure, honed by many years of sports. A velvet jumpsuit, classic pumps, a simple hairstyle and a decorative piece that emphasizes the neckline – all this makes the look luxurious.
The cape should have been removed. First of all, she overloaded the image. Secondly, it is most often used to hide the hands. But athletes are always in excellent shape. The overall look is elegant and stylish.

The general impression is that all the clothes look too small. And the point is not that we are accustomed to excessive size. The pants were tight at the hips and groin area. The corset sinks too much into the waist and, in contrast, the shoulders appear wider. The black bow is superfluous in the context of the floral print. Although the pattern itself goes well with light skin tones.
The corset could have been used a little more. Then it would not “cut” the figure. Take off the bow and choose flowy pants or wear a skirt. The hair should also be combed upwards, since we are choosing a corset and exposing the line of the shoulders and neckline.
