00:00 - Attending a spring training event is as much a social event as it is about the baseball.
00:07 We have Cynthia Sassi to talk about the latest spring 2024 trends and practical fashion tips
00:12 to wear to the ballpark.
00:13 Cynthia, thanks for being here.
00:15 - Of course, thanks for having me.
00:16 - So you are such a fashionista and someone who just always knows what is in for the season.
00:24 So I'm so excited to talk to you about this because spring training is underway.
00:28 It's the beautiful time of year.
00:29 So let's just kind of talk about, I don't know, what are your main ideas about what
00:33 people should and shouldn't wear to the ballpark?
00:35 - Well, obviously there's fashion trends and you want to look good and especially if you're
00:38 taking photos for the 'Gram, you want to make sure you're all fashionable and up on the
00:41 trends.
00:42 But you also need to think about function because you are going to be doing some walking.
00:46 If you're on the lawn, you're going to be walking in grass or sitting in grass.
00:49 So these are things you really need to consider when picking out your outfit for spring training.
00:53 So we've got some great fashions with some Lux Model Group models here today to show
00:58 us what to wear.
01:00 And yeah, let's bring some of them out.
01:02 - You want to get started?
01:03 All right, let's dive into the models because this is what it's all about.
01:07 These are the trends and the fashion.
01:09 So let's bring our first model out.
01:10 - Yes, so this is Erica here and she's wearing, I love layers for events like spring training
01:16 just because obviously you want to check the weather before you go, but the shade changes
01:20 throughout the afternoon as you're sitting there, you might get a little chilly.
01:23 So it's nice to have a jacket to take on and off based on how chilly it is.
01:27 - The clear bags, they actually do at spring training now, they do require the MLB bag
01:32 policy.
01:33 So you have to have either the really small bag that's like a little clutch or you can
01:37 get a great clear bag like this.
01:39 This whole outfit's from Alexandra Collections, which is a local boutique at 44th Street in
01:43 Camelback.
01:44 And they have these really cute clear bags that you can make your outfits really fashionable.
01:47 - And this is so great because I feel like for a long time, the clear bag situation wasn't
01:52 super cute.
01:53 We didn't have a lot of options.
01:54 So something like this is really cute.
01:55 There's still some detailing on there, super cute idea.
01:58 What about shoes?
02:00 - Flat shoes for sure.
02:01 You're going to be doing some walking, make sure they're comfortable too.
02:03 I wouldn't recommend wearing like new shoes, then you have to walk quite a ways.
02:06 - Breaking them in while you're there.
02:07 - New shoes, getting blisters, all of that.
02:09 But you might be walking through some grass if you're sitting on the lawn, you don't want
02:12 to be wearing heels and sinking into grass.
02:15 So definitely comfortable flat shoes is ideal.
02:17 - Fantastic.
02:18 And the shorts are great because it is going to start to warm up here.
02:21 It's been beautiful outside right now, but just in case it does start to get warm, those
02:24 shorts are a good thing.
02:25 - The heels are great and also the dark color.
02:27 I love like a dark navy blue or this black because if you're sitting in the grass again,
02:32 or even the seats, they might be a little dirty.
02:34 So you don't want to wear like white or beige that might get dirty or get grass stains on
02:37 it.
02:38 - That's a great point.
02:39 Yeah, this whole look is great.
02:40 Love the jacket, love the shoes.
02:41 All right, thank you so much.
02:42 Let's bring out our second model.
02:44 - And this is Vera.
02:46 And the navy with pink is really on trend this spring season.
02:49 We're seeing a lot of that.
02:51 I love this skirt she's wearing.
02:52 It is actually a golf skirt, but it is so perfect for something like spring training
02:57 because there are actually shorts underneath.
02:59 So if you're sitting in the grass, you don't have to worry about flashing anybody, but
03:02 you can still have a cute little skirt that you can wear.
03:06 And obviously this is like a sweater tank, so it's kind of like still kind of cool, but
03:10 you know, can keep you a little warm if it's a little breezy out.
03:13 - That's great.
03:14 And the whole look is very, in my opinion, kind of that preppy look, which is definitely
03:18 coming back right now.
03:19 So again, talk about her shoes, 'cause these are super cute.
03:21 - Yeah, these are super cute and they're comfy and they're flat, and so that's great.
03:26 But they're also very fashionable and trendy.
03:27 So and I think with the sporty skirt, it really works with the sneakers.
03:31 And the other thing is you definitely want to do hats or sunglasses at spring training.
03:35 - Great point.
03:36 - Depending on where you're sitting, you might really have that sun in your eyes and you
03:39 want to make sure that you're not squinting and struggling because there's, you know,
03:42 especially in the lawn, there's no shades.
03:43 So you want to make sure that you've got your eyes covered.
03:45 - That is a great point.
03:46 Hat is a great option.
03:47 You're covering your face, you're not getting too much sun exposure.
03:49 But if you don't have that, you can always rock a cute pair of sunglasses.
03:52 All right, I love this.
03:53 Let's bring out our last model.
03:56 - Next up we have Zade.
03:58 Can't forget the guys.
03:59 - Oh yes.
04:00 - Obviously, something comfortable.
04:02 I love, again, layers, doing a jacket.
04:05 This is all World to Fear, which is a local designer.
04:08 And so we've got shorts so that you're comfy.
04:10 I would probably not do, this time of year in Arizona, jeans.
04:13 But again, check the weather before you head out.
04:15 But he's got a t-shirt on and then a jacket over it.
04:18 And then of course a hat to keep that sun out of your eyes, which is great.
04:21 - Okay, so I love this whole look because honestly, I thought he was sporting a different
04:25 brand on his hat.
04:27 But it does say Fear on the hat and on the back of the jacket, if you don't mind turning
04:30 around again for us.
04:32 This is really, really cool.
04:34 Such a fun look.
04:35 Sporty, but also kind of like got a street style going to it.
04:38 And again, with those comfy shoes.
04:39 - So very fashionable, but also functional.
04:40 - Yes, that's great.
04:42 Okay, this whole thing is fantastic.
04:43 And Cynthia, tell everybody where they can find more information about you and some more
04:47 inspiration for spring training styles.
