The exhilaration of Formula 1 race tracks, mountain slope skiing and muddy motocross terrains are currently inspiring our fashion choices. 

Towards the close of 2017, FentyxPuma debuted their spicy ready-to-wear 2018 spring collection, which left the audience and their followers in awe.

Following that explosive release was Tommy Hilfiger and Gigi Hadid’s Formula 1 inspired Spring ‘18 collaboration marked with the iconic Tommy Hilfiger colours of red, navy and white.

And then of course, there’s Yeezy Season 7, Kim K and her latest ski-inspired looks mostly consisting of bike shorts and puffers. 

So, if skis and high speeds happen to be your drug of choice, then this 2018 trend will be right up your alley.

If not, a love for fashion will do.

Whatever your chosen thrill, these three brands will have you slaying in racy protective gear.

This spring collection has got to be the epitome of Riri’s wild thoughts.

Everything, from the fishnet details to the neon colour-blocking can turn anyone into a motocross fanatic.

With so much sauce dripping from these looks, dressing up like a daredevil has never looked so good.
