Nike Sportswear Femme Dress, $65 $40.97
The Spaghetti Strap Dress
We’ve seen plenty of Y2K-inspired trends come through this year, but we think that this dress (from Nike of all places!) wins gold. The ribbed texture, the midi length, the spaghetti straps, the ’70s stripes, the side slits — it looks straight out of Delia’s if you ask us.

Nike Dri-FIT Indy Icon Clash Light-Support Padded T-Back Sports Bra, $40
The Houndstooth Underthing
In a year where it was checkerboard everything, we’re relieved to see a pattern that is of the same family of classic patterns but refreshingly its own thing. (Plus, who doesn’t love a printed sports bra?) Houndstooth: let’s bring it back.

Nike Sportswear Collection Essentials Pants, $70
The Loosey-Goosey Cropped Jogger
At first glance, it looks like ordinary sweatpants but upon closer inspection you’ll see the design details that truly matter — the tapered leg, the cropped length, the baggy fit, and the heathered-out logo. It’s no wonder this is one of Nike’s highly-rated styles.

Nike Therma-FIT Fleece Training Sweatshirt, $65
The Mockneck Fleece
Fleece is everywhere this season, which makes it tough to find sherpa items that are truly unique and special. Then came along this pullover sweatshirt: it’s got a mockneck, waist cinch, and two (!) side pockets.

Nike Heritage Waistpack, $25
The Throwback Fanny Pack
It’s the crossbody bag of choice if your gift recipient prefers to go about their days hands-free. This stashable, $25 waistpack holds the right amount of stuff and it comes in an array of cute color-blocked options.

Nike Air Max Koko Serena Design Crew Sandals, $110
The Platform Sandal
Nike’s take on the chunky summer sandal is an incredibly bouncy one and I recommend that you cop a pair immediately, even if it needs to be saved for warmer days. (Full disclosure: I own a pair and they’re absolute fire.) Or, if you live in a non-wet climate, wear them with socks.
Nike Sportswear Essential High-Waisted Leggings, $45
The Vintage-y Legging
The emblazoned Nike logo on the lower left leg is a simple move, but a crucial one — it somehow makes this contemporary-fit legging look like it could be from an earlier decade. In other words, it’s a perfect logo slap.

Nike Everyday Plus Lightweight Training Ankle Socks, $20
Super Chic Workout Socks
Sweaty feet deserve cute socks too! This pack of three breathable, wicking pairs of socks is going to elevate whatever game is being played.

Nike Sportswear Essential Bike Shorts, $50
The Trippy Biker Short
Nike takes the Y2K smiley face motif and turns it on its happy head (many times over) with this very fun take on the classic bike short.
