If Miuccia Prada says preppy polo shirts, academic blazers, boat shoes, and sporty swim bottoms feel right for spring/summer 2024, who are we to disagree? In fact, thanks to Miu Miu's eye-catching S/S 24 collection, I am entering my preppy, athletic era—or what Net-a-Porter aptly named Chic Sportif in its recent spring 2024 seasonal report.
It wasn't just Miu Miu that leaned into this refined, preppy sensibility. A number of designers, from The Row to Loewe, showcased elements of sport-inspired fashion in their collections in the form of rugby shirts, retro sneakers, and preppy sweaters.
Whether you have a membership to a country club or not, it's easy to emulate this preppy-meets-sporty, moneyed aesthetic. Take a look below to get inspired by the Miu Miu S/S 24 runway, then shop my favorite preppy-athletic pieces that lean into the vibe perfectly. Think polo shirts, academic blazers, striped button-downs, rugby shirts, baggy board shorts, and more.
