The Chic Tracksuit

Chic Tracksuit? This may sound like an oxymoron, but trust me, it is possible to still look chic and stylish in something as casual and laid back as a tracksuit…

Often, when I am running errands and need to be in and out of the car all day, I opt for something comfortable and practical. As much as I love my heels, they would not be suitable for a busy day rushing around.

So, my go-to outfit when I am on the go (and now that winter is setting in), is usually something sporty mixed with casual every-day wear. More often than not, this consists of a nice pair of comfortable cargo/sports pants, a stylish hoodie/pull-over and a funky pair of sneakers/loafers to finish the look.

As you can see in the photos, I am staying true to my ‘less is more’, minimalistic style, and sticking to neutral tones, but I would also were this outfit in striking black and white, or with a pop of colour as well.

I’m sure you will notice soon enough that olive/army green is one of my favourite winter colours, so naturally I love these cargo pants. The pants with pocket detail and a drawstring waist band, are sporty, the off-white, pull-over tracksuit top with embellishments is slightly more girly, and finally the cream leather and suede loafers give the outfit a nice finish, and provide an over-all casual-chic look.

So, I hope you are inspired to go through your wardrobe and put together your very own Chic Tracksuit!
