We are still very into track suits and want all 12 of these
Athleisure’s biggest trend is really just getting started
Though Armie Hammer has just called it quits on his trendsetting penchant for track suits, we are only beginning our love affair with that track suit life. The Call Me By Your Name star famously wore track suits all over his European press tour for the film, citing how easy they were pack and wear.
Beside the fact that comfort is high on the list of the track suit's most appealing qualities, the athleisure staple is still having a major style moment. In fact, not since the velour versions of the 70s have the matching outfits enjoyed this much attention. All of the classic sport brands are back in action – think Nike, Reebok, Fila and Adidas – but fashion's hottest labels are also getting in on the game. Case in point, Gucci's green floral number is a total knockout.
These 12 picks would make anyone regret publicly renouncing spring's best possible match of style and comfort.
Refreshing in a pale pastel, Adidas' minty take on the classic track suit duo ticks every box. Retro tear away pants? Check. Cropped hooded sweatshirt? Check. Effortless off-duty outfit? Check, check, check.
