Code-X (71)

Call this code: Performance Chic.
Definition: Clothes that perform well — and that look fashionable (“rockstar,” even) — when you’re active.
Notes on this code: Distinction between athletic and casual clothing style is getting blurred. Tonality is that of a coach, encouraging (“wear it well”) and urging (“get rolling”) you on.
