Michael Kors: Sporty Looks for Ladies

Michael Kors is a beloved American designer who is perhaps better known for his apparel collections than his baubles. Kors, who was born and raised on Long Island in New York, is best known for his ability to design classic, American sportswear for women. While many high profile designers come out of Europe, Kors has long flourished as an American born and bred designer. Kors started out his career in fashion at the ripe age of nineteen, studying design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. In 1981, he launched his first collection, the Michael Kors womenswear line, which was immediately picked up by buyers at Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue. Kors was an instantaneous hit. Though his success at home in America was building, Kors chose to relocate to Paris, and worked for years as the ready to wear designer of French fashion house Celine. It was here, during his tenure as the creative director for the house, that Kors discovered a love and talent for designing accessories.

Michael Kors clothing is worn by numerous celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Michelle Obama, Heidi Klum, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Garner and more. His accessories, meanwhile, continue to fly off the shelves - and his watches are no exception. The designer who started in sportswear is now a pro at churning out watch designs that perfectly complement his womenswear collections. Looking for sporty looks for ladies? Michael Kors has you covered in the watch department. Michael Kors watches have recently become the top of the line favorite for the new crop of personal style bloggers proliferating the internet landscape, and for good reason - the chic, stylish timepieces are fairly affordable, especially in the watch world. While Movado and watches will cost you thousands, most Michael Kors watches ring in below $300, making them an attainable fashion accessory for women who want to look great without blowing their budget.

On the hunt for a classic, wear with everything watch? The Michael Kors Women's Chronograph Clear Acrylic Bracelet watch is the perfect choice. With a silver face, this watch is a classic beauty, but the acrylic linked bracelet updates the classic style, bringing it squarely into the future, for a watch that stands out from the rest. Go classic, go casual, or go formal - this watch pairs well with just about any outfit under the sun. The pearly hued dial features a date window and three subdials, and the chronograph movement adds extra functionality. Meanwhile, the acrylic bracelet is easy to take care of and looks great, no matter what you're wearing. Pair this with boyfriend jeans and a fitted white tea on the weekend, and wear it with fuschia cigarette trousers and a slouchy blazer during the work week - no matter what you pair it with, it's sure to look great.
