street style

Motorsport

Motorsport encompasses an edgy, sexy style with skin-tight zip through jumpsuits, appliqued leather jackets and checkered black and white prints contrasted in electric brights and neon accents. This trend was nailed perfectly at the Fenty Puma SS18 show as well as making a bold statement in the Migos music video for their song of the same name featuring stunning looks by the queens of rap, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B. Effortlessly nail this look for less at Pretty Little Thing’ and Sorella Boutique with these key pieces:
