Girls in tracksuits - not just for sport

Tracksuits, once associated with athletes, now reign on catwalks, in urban spaces, at universities, and even in the workplace. They stopped being associated solely with sportswear a long time ago. The pandemic caused quite a stir in how we approach this piece of clothing. It was during that time that we got used to comfortable homewear, which we didn't want to swap for typical work clothes. Tracksuit outfits reigned in many Polish homes while working from home, and it was hard to part with them.

During the forced work-from-home period, we remembered how many advantages timeless tracksuits have. When returning to office work, we decided to give them a new, more elegant character, but we didn't want to give them up entirely. Tracksuit outfits can be varied - both casual and more formal. Using colourful women's tracksuits, you can create interesting combinations for many occasions. For work, shopping, meeting friends or a calm, lazy Sunday morning.

How to wear women's tracksuits? What goes with them?

Women's tracksuit outfits must be matched to the occasion. It's this that determines the choice of cut, fabric or colour. A colourful women's tracksuit will work in different circumstances than, for example, grey tracksuits. A model in neutral black or white is timeless, but also more subdued and elegant. How to wear women's tracksuits to look tasteful and create comfortable outfits? Everyday women's tracksuits can be worn with both a tracksuit top and a T-shirt. You can create outfits in one style, or combine tracksuit bottoms with elegant or casual tops.

Girls in tracksuits can go to the gym, cycling or rollerblading. In this case, a sporty total look works well. This can be a single-colour tracksuit, or conversely, sweatpants in a different colour from the top. Mixing sets is a very popular trend. You can also use sweatpants and simply add a top to them.

For our tracksuit outfits to look good, it's worth choosing styles that highlight the figure's strengths and hide its flaws. A looser cut masks imperfections, which curvier women might consider. If we want to create an urban outfit with tracksuits, it's better to choose more fitted models. Sweatpants will gain more elegance if we separate the tracksuit and wear them without the top.

Fitted sweatpants, e.g. black women's sweatpants with ribbed cuffs, an elegant coat, thick-soled shoes - this way we can create a quick outfit with a nonchalant character. Perfect for the city or meeting friends. A tracksuit set with a denim jacket or a biker jacket will look just as great.

What shoes go best with women's sweatpants?

Shoes are an important element of an outfit. They finish the look, and it's important that they match the whole. In the case of tracksuits, especially with legs gathered at the bottom, the footwear is put on display. Tracksuits go perfectly with sporty shoes. A combination of sports shoes with a higher upper, or sneakers, looks good too.  So plimsolls, trainers or sports shoes will suit sweatpants. Bolder women can even try heels. This is a popular trend, though it seems most tracksuit lovers won't be convinced by it.
