While we've already covered our deep love of sweatshirts and talked extensively about the leggings we wear day-in and day-out, it’s come time to discuss the next iteration of the athleisure trend—track-inspired clothing. The last time we rocked our Adidas track pants, we were throwing them over gym shorts and pairing them with cleats for soccer practice. But that was long before athleisure became one of the most ubiquitous trends ever...
If track pants and jackets feel hard to wear outside the gym, we have good news—it’s very possible (and relatively easy) to pull off a gym-to-office getup with some delicate styling. We'll teach you how to keep this look in your back pocket for those days when you're short on time, or even just for casual Fridays. However, we do not suggest strutting into for your annual review or that huge sales pitch in your sweats...
This season, we're seeing our lady friends style their track pants with heels and undone blouses and even slip into full sets broken up with a statement bag. And they're almost always adding a feminine touch in the form of jewelry, like geometric earrings or a fistful of rings. The trick is pairing the right pieces. For a casual vibe, try a track jacket with sneakers and your favorite band tee. For something more polished, track-inspired pants with heels and a statement blazer will have you looking beyond sleek. And for those just easing into the trend, trade your classic jeans in for a pair with a racing stripe down the side.
Give your Lululemon leggings and college sweatshirts a day off, and upgrade your athleisure attire with a few staple pieces that can be dressed up or down...
