Spring fashion seems headed in a direction fitting for a game of ping-pong or a tennis match. Yep, looks like sportswear will be making a huge appearance in the months to come.

You'll have bike messengers and New York pedestrians halting in pure jealously.

From the spring collections of L.A.M.B., DSquared, Marc Jacobs, VPL and many others, check out how easily this trend transforms functional daytime sportswear to appropriate evening party attire.
