Accessories lifestyle: bags, caps and socks

What can you find in lifestyle accessories?

The lifestyle accessories category brings together everyday items that complement a casual or sportswear outfit: socks, sliders, caps, backpacks, bum bags, shoulder bags, and suitcases. These products complete a Nike or adidas outfit without being shoes or clothing, and are chosen for both their functionality and style.

Beanies, caps, socks, sliders, bags: pages to check out

To refine your search, each product family has its own page:

• Beanies, to keep your head warm during the cold months.
• Caps, featuring baseball models under license and sport caps from Nike or adidas.
• Socks, available in low or high versions, suitable for everyday wear or during exercise.
• Sliders, for changing after training or for easy wear in the summer.
• Bags, from backpacks for school or work to bum bags for light travel.

Nike or adidas: how to choose your brand?

Both brands in this selection cover similar needs with different lines. Nike offers backpacks, bum bags, and socks from the Heritage or Everyday lines, designed for daily use as well as for sports. Adidas is particularly known for the Trefoil sliders, recognised by their three stripes, worn both by the poolside and off the field. The choice mainly depends on the desired style and intended use, rather than a technical difference between the two brands.

How to choose your lifestyle accessories according to use?

The right accessory primarily depends on what you want to do with it daily. A backpack like the Eastpak Day Pak'r or the Nike Heritage is suitable for school, work, or short trips, with enough space for daily essentials. A suitcase like the Nike Cabin is more aimed at weekend getaways or air travel. For training or the pool, sliders and a bum bag easily fit into a sports bag, while the Nike Everyday socks can be worn both daily and during exercise. A cap completes a sportswear outfit or provides sun protection depending on the season.

Frequently asked questions

What size backpack should I choose for school or work?

It all depends on what you plan to carry daily. A compact model like some Eastpak bags is suitable for light items, while a bag with a dedicated compartment is more appropriate if you're carrying a laptop. Also, check the number of pockets if you need to store small items separately.

Can Nike or adidas sliders be worn barefoot?

Yes, these sliders are designed to be worn barefoot, especially after a workout or by the pool. They slip on quickly and allow your feet to breathe between activities.

Can a licensed baseball cap be worn with sportswear?

Yes, licensed caps, such as those featuring the colours of an American sports franchise, can be worn with both casual and sportswear outfits. They mainly serve a style purpose rather than a technical one.

How to care for sports socks daily?

Most sports socks can be machine washed at low temperatures to preserve the fabric's elasticity. It's advisable to avoid high heat in the tumble dryer, which can damage the fibres more quickly.

Is a bum bag enough to run or train?

For light training, a bum bag like the Nike Heritage model can hold keys, a phone, or a small bottle. For more demanding use, a backpack is more suitable.
