Tracksuits are not a new phenomenon on the fashion scene.
Whether the sheer mention of coordinated clothing reminds you of the retro sets in The Sopranos, Kanye West’s trademark oversized ‘fits or even the grey leather sweatsuit A$AP Rocky wore in the latest Bottega Veneta campaign, they have been a menswear mainstay for quite some time - and for good reason.
Whilst their popularity has gone through ebbs and flows over the last few decades, their comfy pandemic-proof credentials cemented them as a necessity during lockdown. And now, with most of us regularly WFH, having a relaxed co-ord in the weekly rotation goes without saying.
The sporty two-piece can be worn outside of the confines of your home too. For the easiest get-up-and-go outfit, you simply need to find a quality white t-shirt - we’d recommend Sunspel or Uniqlo - and a pair of kicks and you’ve got yourself a pulled-together look with no effort required.
Better yet, in recent years, brands like Wales Bonner and Casablanca have refashioned the traditional trackset as smart-casual attire. If you swap the t-shirt and trainers with a blazer and loafers, suddenly the entire ‘fit is elevated beyond its sportswear roots.
You don’t need to be Gen-Z to jump on the trend either. Just look at septuagenarian Elton John, with his eclectic mix of statement two-pieces, to see how the relaxed off-duty look works regardless of your age or style.
Now it’s time to get one yourself in our carefully selected list below.
