The last time I thought track pants could be seen outside your family home was in the era of the SPICE GIRLS and on high-school snow trips.
Move over SPORTY, twentyten will be the new year of track pants and this time we are bringing them back not only as pants but also in dresses and jackets. Designers like Alexander Wang, DKNY or Elie Tahari bring track pants to another level for the stylish people we are they are now totally wearable in any occasion and are the ultimate for a relaxed cool look.
But.....before you get to excited...monster heels are a must! Blogger Garance Doré buys her tracksuit trousers from Isabel Marant because "she has designed them for years and mastered the perfect cut" but she also says "without heels, I look like I'm en route to my hip-hop class"! Cut and shape is vital. Don't think for a moment you can simply dig out a pair of your X LOVERS' old grey tracksuit bottoms. Wear them low-waisted and slouchy and choose a tapered leg. Look for deep pockets and a drawstring waist with elastic to avoid bulk on the hips. Finally, combine tracksuit trousers with a long-line blazer, a sleeveless jacket or a cropped tuxedo. And you never want to wear anything else ever again!
Its getting cooler gals,
GET ON TRACK
