Have you ever noticed, around school, girls who manage to look great wearing only a nice pair of jeans, a t-shirt with a design and Converse, combing their hair in a normal braid? Did you notice them, a little later, crushing the opposing team playing volleyball, soccer or any other sport in the hours of physical education? Or do you have friends who dress in a "sporty" way and actively practice sports and who manage to make a good impression even with a simple tracksuit? All of them can be defined as “sporty girls” and they have in common their style of dressing, not exactly tomboyish, but not 100% feminine either. You too can become like them!
Steps
Step 1. Try to join a sports team
It is one of the fundamental requirements. Here are some popular sports among girls: tennis, volleyball, soccer, swimming, basketball. Try to play at least one of these sports.
Step 2. Get dressed
Look for t-shirts with a sports brand logo, a graphic design, a Hollister shirt, or a tunic (but keep in mind that if a tunic is too elegant to wear with gym shorts, then it is not good for yours. style), or a sports team jersey. Any t-shirt will do, as long as it is tight, with a not too excessive pattern and a typically sporty feel. As pants, wear sweatpants / yoga / jeans in winter or denim shorts, trainers, or even skirts (but only occasionally!) In spring and summer. Also wear a good pair of tennis shoes or flip flops. No sequins or other decorations like that, just plain shoes. As tennis shoes, Converse will do perfectly: the black ones will go well with everything, but you can always choose your favorite color! For flip flops, any cheap plastic model will do just fine. You can also wear canvas shoes, Topsiders or UGG boots.
Step 3. If you have to meet certain criteria for dressing on certain occasions, don't overdo it, but try to push yourself to the limit
For example, if you can wear khaki, blue or black pants, wear a model - long or short - that is fitted black. If you can wear jeans, wear denim shorts. Try to be daring by shortening your shorts. Choose pastel colors for the t-shirts (for more traditional girls) or brightly colored polo shirts (for those who want to get noticed). If you have to wear specific colors, try to slightly modify those of your clothes, so that they are a bit more original than usual. To be a little more daring, choose t-shirts one size smaller than yours and make sure it is snug, but not too tight. For shoes, usually anything will do. In that case, always wear Converse and, more rarely, loafers or canvas shoes, but avoid anything that has glitter and sequins. Keep it simple.
Step 4. Wear little makeup
You can only venture a lip gloss, natural or light eyeshadow with light glitter, mascara and a delicate blush, but only rarely. Green light to the corrector for the eyes and pimples.
Step 5. Any hairstyle will do
Leave your hair down only once a week and, on other days, pull it up in a ponytail, pigtails, a messy bun, braid, or any variation of these styles. Don't use too many bobby pins to avoid making your hairstyle too elaborate. Use a keratin shampoo and fortifying conditioner. Wear hair ties whenever possible. The best colors are black and white. Remember to apply a mask at least once a week.
Step 6. If you have glasses, try wearing contact lenses
If you can't get them, try some trendy glasses, like those with a nerdy black rim, a slim secretary-style frame or any type, as long as they are stylish, cute and suitable for you. Wear glasses only when necessary, or you could be classified as a "nerd".
Step 7. Your skin should always be perfectly clean and look soft, hydrated and healthy
Adopt a daily cleansing, scrub, and toner regimen (optional), and apply eye cream (optional but recommended) and moisturizer. Repeat twice a day, every day. Apply a pimple cream if you have pimples. Sporty girls also take care of themselves, contrary to what one might think. Take care of your body skin by moisturizing it once a day, massaging it with a special brush before taking a shower and washing it daily.
Step 8. The following applies to accessories:
few but fundamental.
Wear a pair of small earrings, such as studs, small pendants, or thin hooks. Wear them every day, except when you play sports. Occasionally she also wears a necklace; it is better to choose one of large stones, or a chain with a pendant, large or small. Wear it only once a week. Small wrist bands, braided bracelets, friendship bracelets, plastic bracelets, etc. will work well as a bracelet. Wear at least one a day. If you don't have one, make one or wear a rolled up hair band.
Step 9. Remember what you are becoming
This article is not about becoming a tomboy and it is not an article about becoming more feminine either! A "sporty girl" is one step further than being a tomboy, without becoming too feminine. So no to sequins, tons of pink and phrases like “Ommioooddiooo! It's too BELLOOO!”. But also not to have only male friends and to wear only pants and baggy T-shirts and sneakers every day. Try to have good grades and be a good person, without making too much drama: at school you may have problems if you don't do well or if you have to cause trouble often, and you certainly don't want to be put in detention when all of your friends are free to go out and have fun and play sports!
Step 10. Know your limits
Even a sporty girl can wear pink. In fact, it is advisable to wear something pink with all your outfits. All pastel and bright colors are fine, but don't overdo it with black. It is generally best not to wear very baggy clothes. A pair of jeans or tight shorts will do just fine. Remember to always choose bright or pastel colors.
