Ok so it's true to say that fashion responds to the things that happen in the world as much as anything else does and I don't know if you've heard but this year London is hosting the Olympics, and many of the catwalks are reflecting this by using high performance fabrics for high fashion.
So in order to avoid feeling like you've stolen the clothes of a 14 yr old boy, how do you wear this trend? First news is that tracksuit bottoms are never fashion forward unless you are heading in the direction of the gym or your hang over is so bad that anything with buttons is just too complex. There are a load of different options and ways to get it right. The first rule is either/or, either the fabric is loose and super luxe, like silk or form fitting and in a relaxed fabric, like jersey. The idea is to heighten the comfort whilst maintaining a level of chic sophistication. It's supposed to be fun and this is a great alternative to the more classic weekend looks or adding a contemporary twist to workwear. The one similarity you will notice with all my example looks are heels, they are almost mandatory for this way of dressing as they immediately upgrade whatever fabric you are wearing.
