Team Cloth have celebrated over the past few Winter seasons the evolution of the tracksuit and it’s place in every woman’s wardrobe. Gone are the days the “trackie” was only really worn indoors as a home comfort item along with your Ugg boots and slippers or post training on a cold night. Sporty chic styles have become a prominent feature in the fashion world and the Covid era took the tracksuit to a whole new level … and there’s no going back … yay for that!
Most Australian and International leading designers have included a sporty, tracksuit look in their Autumn / Winter ranges as a wardrobe staple. Our Aussie labels, Bassike and Viktoria & Woods have included easy wearing styles such as the Twill Pinstitch Detail Pant in standard black and the sporty Shine Pant with drawstring waist and straight leg. PE Nation, of course has the ultimate sporty edge and the 90’s look Mercer Pant in black worn with the parachute lined Augusta Jacket. For a more snug feel the Oakmont Sweat offers the down time look in a perfect deep navy blue.
(Drum roll please …) We are super excited about the latest Rozalia X Atoir Re-Edition range. Once again they have nailed easy flattering styles that all match up beautifully with classic The Trackpant. For example, The Collar was released a couple of years ago and a firm fave with that luxe look over a singlet or The Long Sleeve Top. The Crop offers a new take on the tracksuit matching set or The Hoodie for the ultra comfy vibe. The Rozalia Atoir team have nailed the colour palette across two drops … Cobalt, Stone, Chili Red and Coco add to the existing classic black and grey marle fleece shades. Have to say, you’ll have some hard hitting decisions on style and colour with too many ultra cool combos!
We have grown to love the layered trackie look under a jacket or coat. The trench is a firm favourite this season. The Viktoria & Woods Godfather Coat in mocha or the Rozalia Atoir The Trenchcoat are perfect additions. A classic hoodie or sweat under the Anine Bing denim Rory Jacket or the Woods Long Puffer a great smart casual “kids sport” look or for a more elevated style the Anine Bing Fishbone Blazer or latest Quinn Blazer will see you sipping cocktails before dinner! We recommend accessorising with the Jeremy Cap in various colours and embroidered features to create that elusive sporty attire.
It’s just as easy to pair your trackpant with a snug knit and the Anine Bing Sydney Sweater offers that luxe chunky look or the Bassike Wide Stripe Turtleneck Knit and Jac + Jack Kidman Sweater also match quality with feel. Why not pair your track pant with a fave boyfriend shirt, the latest Anine Bing Mika Shirt in red and white stripe or Blanca Caroline Shirt offer that cool preppy style.
No trackie look is worthy without a jogger and new arrival Brody Sneaker by Anine Bing have introduced a more sporty shape in classic white with monogram feature which will marry perfectly your Winter fleece look in sizes 37 - 41. The Birkenstock Boston in black shearling continues to win hearts for a street style look with chic comfort and warmth over Winter.
So let’s give a round of applause to the timeless tracksuit and it’s ever evolving style.
