sportif
Casual yet active
Sportif is a French borrowing meaning athletic or relating to sports, used in English primarily in fashion and marketing contexts.
A sportif look suggests casual athletic styling—think tennis sweaters, polo shirts, or activewear worn as streetwear.
The word carries a European elegance that "sporty" lacks: The collection has a sportif vibe.
