US Open: The Good and The Bad

So in my final review of US Open fashion check out the good (top) and the bad (bottom). I love the style of Maria Kirilenko who has established herself as a tennis fashionista. In both Adidas dress and top/skirt combo. The ruffle details and colors on the tennis dress are great. The skirt has an awesome army style too it with the belt. Additionally Daniela Hantuchova always looks cute and sporty in seperates by Nike. Her tank with the black edging would be a fabulous piece to incorporate in your workout wordrobe.

Finally check out two major fashion misses. Poor Maria Sherapova- 1993 called and they want their dress from The Limited back! And I'm not sure what kind of a statement Bethanie Mattek was trying to make with her corset-esque tennis dress...but it's just a skanky look.


Maria Sherapova Fashion Hit

To continue our coverage of US Open tennis fashion, check out Maria Sherapova's super cute Nike tank and skirt from this summer. I love the ruffles as well as the colors. The DriFit top can be purchased at Nike.com for $35! Look stylish while working out.

Too bad we didn't get to see what fabulous outfit she would have worn at this year's US Open.

US Open Fashion Face Off


It was Serena vs. Jelena in the 2008 US Open Ladies Final. Serena may have won the tennis match but who won the fashion face off? A classic Nike vs. Reebok showdown. Nike has blown Reebok away since the early 90's in the fashion department. But as far as the '08 US Open finals is concerned that was not the case. Jelena's Reebok yellow tennis dress with a silver sash was very stylish for the court. While Serena's Nike red dress was a bore. Had Maria Sherapova (Nike's Fashion Darling) been able to play this could have been a very different outcome. But for this years US Open Reebok took the trophy!

Hottest Trend of The Moment

The hottest trend of the moment right now is Michael Phelps. He's everywhere- SNL, MTV, Oprah, Sports Illustrated, Visa, Frosted Flakes, etc.. He's been sporting a large, blinging whatch which I'm sure he's endorsing.

US Olympic gear is also still acceptable to rock this season. So any of you guys out there looking for new swim trunks pick up a pair of the US Flag Speedos like the one worn by Phelps! *Please note that in order to pull this trend off you must be of the same physical caliber of the Olympic Men's Swim Team and only wear for training. Otherwise do not attempt this look!

Back from Hiatus

Hi! Style Cabana is back. Sorry we were on break for The Olympics (loved mens swimming), The US Open, Democratic and Republican National Conventions. All of which have brought plenty of new fashion material. So be on the lookout we're back!

The Olympics Start Today!


Tonight is the 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremonies. Outfitting Team USA at the ceremonies is Ralph Lauren. Which should be really cool compared to Olympic fashion for the past Olympics. Stay tuned to see reports on the hottest sporty fashion trends coming out of the Olympics during the next 17 days!

Summer Fabulous- Trina Turk

I just got this Trina Turk Mischief Dress on sale at Krista K, my favorite Chicago Boutique. I got it in the Hot Pink with Spice band at the bottom of the silk/cotton poplin blend dress. It's a fabulous dress for summer and into fall.
