Remember when Sex and the City's Carrie Bradshaw stepped out in gym shorts and Manolos? Fans of the show remember the outfit: The white crop top, blue shorts, and strappy red stilettos were so quintessentially Carrie. A Gen Z muse, the fictional character has gone on to inspire some (if not most) of the younger generation's favorite trends, including one that you'll see everywhere on the streets of New York and L.A.: the blokette aesthetic.
The blokette combines personal style with sporty pieces such as a jersey, soccer shorts, track pants, or even sneakers. Think of it like the "wrong shoe" theory but with various athletic pieces—like swapping jean shorts for a swishy, colorful athletic pair, or trading a flowy white top for a jersey. A major switch-up from the pared-back linen sets and flip-flops dominating the market, the blokette aesthetic is undoubtedly comfortable, with a taste of Bradshaw's experimental, It-girl flair. Besides, it's also just fun.
What better place to shop the trend than Gen Z's favorite athletic brand, Adidas? With bold sneakers and pretty beaded jerseys, Adidas is the ideal place to go for the blokette vibe. Below, everything you need to shop the aesthetic.
