It's weird to think, but just a couple of years ago, tracksuits were something you wore solely to exercise in. But after an explosion in leisurewear (helped by a few lockdowns) we've seen two piece tracksuits appearing on every designer catwalk – and they're still all over your Instagram feed.
Tracksuits are now a cool – and actually stylish – option when it comes to getting dressed in the morning. From celebrities to all your favourite influencers (as well as your friends / family / people you're sitting next to on the train), they're quite literally everywhere.
While it's a no-brainer to style them with sliders for a trip to find a vanilla iced latte, adding accessories and layers is the fastest way to take them from casual to chic. A baseball cap, perhaps in faux-leather, plus a trench coat thrown over the top of a bodysuit and you've got a look worthy to catch any street-style photographer's eye.
As the Y2K redux rumbles on, retro style tracksuits are some of the fashion pack's favourites right now. Adidas Originals' collaboration with uber-cool designer Grace Wales Bonner is wishlist worthy… and who would have guessed the iconic velour Juicy Couture tracksuit would make a return? We're here for it.
As with any two-piece (think trouser suits) you also have three brilliant outfit options in one purchase. A tracksuit is way more versatile than a dress. Of course you can wear the tracksuit as a two-piece, but how about splitting it up? Team tracksuit bottoms with a silky vest and blazer or wear the hoodie with leather or faux-leather leggings to add some edge.
Far from the basic Sporty Spice-esque styles of yesteryear, there are a huge number of brands – both high end and high street – catering to our need for comfies as we head into cooler weather.
One of the most impressive, affordable offerings comes via e-tailer ASOS. Forever a shopping saviour when it comes to finding just about anything you need for that big night out, job interview next week, or last minute holiday, they're our go-to for cool, comfy loungewear. Their own brand ASOS Design has a Unisex Co-Ord In Cotton Blend that we are just about to hit checkout on, but they also stock Emporio Armani and Puma, too.
When it comes to more boujee incarnations, once you've tried a cashmere tracksuit you'll wonder how you ever lived without one. Olivia Von Halle's silk and cashmere tracksuit is a whole other level of luxury and we could actually live in Allude's pale camel shade set. The world of loungewear never looked so good (although tbh, it has always felt good).
