Where Sporty Meets Style!
As many of you know, I’m a former fitness instructor, so I’ve always had a love for activewear. Thankfully, it’s been a huge trend over the past few years & especially since the pandemic & now there’s so many elevated options to choose from YAY!!
This winter, I really wanted a luxe tracksuit that reflected both my relaxed and dramatic personality style. Something beautiful and comfortable that I could wear not only to brunch or dinner with friends, but also when clients come.
Sooo this fabulous tracksuit set from Sussan! As soon as I saw it in this rich, warm colour of kale (perfectly sitting in my Exotic colour direction), I fell in love. It was an instant must-have : ))
Here are my top 7 tips for finding your perfect tracksuit:
1. If you’re not into tracksuits, go for elevated loungewear instead as comfort and style can still go hand-in-hand.
2. Choose a colour that lights you up – this hue harmonises beautifully with my eye colour.
3. Pay attention to fit. Oversized pieces can look daggy if they’re not your correct size – this jacket is quite roomy, so I sized down to an XXS.
4. Think versatility. Look at what you already own – I’ve got around 10 different coloured long-sleeve tees and jumpers that work back perfectly with this set.
5. Can it transition into the next season – I’m already planning to style mine with lighter tops and tanks come spring!
6. To lift the casual vibe of your track suit while keeping it classic, stylish & interesting, mix in some fun prints/patterns like stripes, spots, Aztec, animal or geometrics.
7. What are your shoe options apart from the classic lace-up white sneakers?
Think outside the box and explore different footwear styles like:
Slide-on sneakers – an easy, streamlined option if laces aren’t your thing.
Slides – comfy and casual, great for warmer weather or that effortless look.
Brogues – add a touch of polish and edge, especially if your track set leans more tailored.
Loafers – stylish and practical, perfect for elevating a sporty outfit in a flash.
And heels…like Selena? Mmm, maybe not sure about that!! But hey, if anyone can pull it off with confidence, it’s her!
