For her: Looking great at the gym
Cheryl Burke, Emmy award-winning choreographer and professional ballroom dancer best-known for her role in Dancing with the Stars, has teamed up with Fit Couture to produce a new line of fitness wear.
According to Burke it's all about looking good in clothes that work with you, and Burke knows a thing or two about high-energy workouts. Her line is meant for layering with long tops that won't ride up and pants with fold-down waistbands that will stay put without digging in.
Burke also knows a little something about fashion flare, as her many fans will attest. Her fitness line, which was released just this March, includes lots of black paired with vivid splashes of color. Perhaps the biggest wow factor is packed into the smallest package. Her sleeveless tops and camis feature fun cuts and fanciful trim without sacrificing one iota of practicality.
The line also includes crop tops and bras, long and short workout pants in a variety of shapes, long- and short-sleeved shirts and a trio of jackets - one with jaunty French cuffs.
See the whole collection with prices ranging from $38 to $88 at Fit Couture.
For him: Showing off that swing in style
When it comes to fashion on the links, Swedish designer Johan Lindeberg stays at the top of the leader board. This year he teamed with sexy Colombian pro-golfer Camilo Villegas to create a must-have line of golf wear. Gallery favorites are his wacky stripes (they look a bit like they were painted on by a mad artist) and argyles that wouldn't exactly match your grandfather's socks.
Lindeberg, who divides his time between London and his New York showroom in Soho, also shows a line of polo shirts with a decidedly European flair, meaning, in this case, slimmer fit and wider cut at the neckline.
Visit their website to see Villegas show off the new line and talk about what drew him to Lindeberg's designs.
Accessories in the line start at about $30. All pants and shorts are flat-front and straight-lined, made of high performance micro-twill and top out at about $140.
For each of you: A fashionable battle of the sexes on the tennis court
Him: Who can ignore the retro collection created for Andy Murray's 2009 appearance at Wimbledon by Fred Perry, the clothing brand in honor of the birthday of its namesake? Dazzle her with classic whites bearing the signature laurel wreath logo, available at Bloomingdale's.
Her: Return the favor in the shimmering white Adidas adilibra tennis dress with tiered skirt worn by Anna Ivanovik, also at this year's Wimbledon tournament. Available at Dick's Sporting Goods.
