With so many of us still spending extra time at home, it's safe to say loungewear has become our go-to. Gone are the days of work-friendly chunky heels, mascara everyday, and oh, uncomfortable underwire bras — at least according to The Guardian. They've been replaced with fuzzy slippers or these Amazon slides, stretchy shelf tanks, leggings, and the dawn of chic sweatpants. But something you might be missing is a key loungewear staple you'll wear time and time again: tracksuits. And not just any tracksuits — luxury ones in cashmere, wool, and the softest materials you've ever felt.
High-end tracksuits might remind you of '00s era Juicy Couture velour hoodies and wide leg pants, worn so often by the likes of Paris Hilton, Britney Spears. and Jennifer Lopez in infamous paparazzi shots around Los Angeles. But this time around, tracksuits are just a bit chicer: while hot pink, purple. and turquoise terry cloth can be fun, 2021's sets are more refined and classic, blurring the lines between work and play.
Many of our favorite sweater and pant sets can be glammed up with chunky gold necklaces, stiletto heels. and baguette bags for the comfiest night out you've ever had, or just worn for ah-mazing work-from-home Zoom calls. Best part? Divide and conquer the tracksuit by wearing the joggers with a crop top, or the sweater with straight-leg jeans: Here, the options are limitless. We've rounded up our favorite luxury designer tracksuits to buy right now, and it's really difficult to buy just one.
Classic staples to adorable prints
No one does a luxury tracksuit like British cashmere lounge brand Madeleine Thompson, which gained notoriety for making rainbow sweats. Veering away from candy-colored anything, the brand's latest cloud-gray tracksuit exemplifies chic, and can be worn anywhere. As per Net-a-Porter, the brand "always strikes the perfect balance of nonchalance and polish," and this 100% high-quality cashmere set does just that. Wear the collared, rib-trim $410 Valloire Cashmere Sweater with Levi's and slippers, or go for the matching $435 Savognin Wide-Leg Pants for a minimal head-to-toe look.
Last summer, tie-dye sweat suits had a serious moment. You surely saw them on Instagram influencers and celebs like Gigi Hadid, lounging at home in their colorful brights. The massive trend was well-documented by Glamour, who said "the tie-dye sweatsuit has become the leopard-print midi skirt of quarantine." While you might think tie-dye was a 2020 thing, think again: outlets like PopSugar and Elle are predicting the trend is here to stay. Try out Electric & Rose's $158 Ronan Rainbow Pullover in a sumptuous cotton-modal blend you'll never want to take off, and pair it with the matching $118 Abbot Kinney Pants. Tie-dye meets luxury.
When in doubt, a good neutral star print never fails, especially when talking about Chinti & Parker's 100% cashmere $335 Navy Star Sweater and $360 Track Pants. In navy and cream, the slim fit is extremely flattering, and the set can be worn for at-home lounging, grocery shopping, on a flight, or as perfect separates.
Keeping it neutral (and chic)
Looking for a tracksuit that screams summer lovin' but can still be worn year round? Look no further than this LoveShackFancy $345 Lata Cropped Cardigan and $245 Toro Pant set. This antique-white tracksuit is seriously unique in 100% cotton pointelle with heart and star-shaped cutouts, scalloped edges, rainbow embroidery, and the cutest back pocket we've ever seen. The pants are high-waisted, and extra-flattering with a slight flare. Wear the cardigan over a sundress with glittery sneakers, or pair it with the matching pants for warm-weather outings.
If refined minimalism is your thing, go for this $150 Lanston Cotton Terry Polo Sweatshirt and the matching $120 Cotton Terry Joggers. Perfect in a blush-tan shade, this cozy set features an on-trend polo collar and a V-neck, just right for pairing with gold coin necklaces. The material is luxurious and thick, while the joggers are perfectly tailored with a drawstring waist. This set has pockets (win!) and can be worn for the chicest air travel look of your life, or a FaceTime call.
Ganni is a cool-girl brand for a reason, and we're loving their latest tracksuit: their $150.50 Software Isoli Hoodie and $143.50 Isoli Track Pants. Like the best university hoodie-sweats set of all time, this tracksuit blends cotton and recycled polyester in ivory-chocolate color-blocking that's right on trend. The epitome of a "style investment" as per Net-a-Porter, Ganni's Isoli set features an oversized hood with a drawstring and an elastic waist. It's currently on sale so act quick!
It's all about luxurious hues and materials
If you want a luxury tracksuit, it's a good idea to go for sumptuous shades. First up, this dark chocolate-plum The Frankie Shop Vanessa Sweatshirt ($159) and iconic Vanessa Sweatpants ($152). As per Harper's Bazaar, "The Frankie Shop's Vanessa tracksuit was the It loungewear of 2020," and has been spotted on style queen Hailey Bieber who loves the gray version. We adore this deep-brown shade for fall and winter, and are obsessed with the slightly-padded shoulders and french-terry material.
Tory Burch knows how to make anything chic, and the tracksuit is no exception. We love this navy-blue and white ski-inspired $198 Color-Block Track Jacket and $178 Track Pants, which make us want to drink hot chocolate in a chalet or go for a crisp jog. The jacket's snow-white detailing looks great on a Zoom call, and makes for a great activewear topper. The white side-stripes on the track pants elongate the legs, too!
When in doubt, pay tribute to Y2K queens like the Hilton sisters and go all out in a velour tracksuit made by Kim K. herself. This SKIMS Velour Hoodie ($78) and matching Velour Track Pants ($72) set is a must, especially in the honey shade. The most wallet-friendly of our designer picks, this early '00s-inspired set will be your go-to for everything — K.K.W. has described it as "plush and juicy" so yeah, we're sold. A high-rise and tapered hem updates the look for this era, and pockets make it super-functional.
Wear these tracksuits for WFH or flights
When it comes to tracksuits, it doesn't get more luxurious than cashmere. That's where Alo Yoga's $225 Jet Set Crew and $250 High-Waist Jet Set Pant come in: They'll take you from long flights to work-from-home in a jiffy. The brand describes this set as "the softest thing ... ever," and we love the puff sleeves and ribbed cuffs. Dress it up with your go-to jewelry for a day out, or for making at-home movie nights a bit more special. Reviews say the pants are super flattering, and we love both the cloud-gray and black colorways.
JW Anderson is one of the biggest designers today, keeping his designs cutting-edge and everything Instagrammable. Let's just say we're obsessed with the Asymmetric Embroidered Sweatshirt ($335) and Embroidered Track Pants ($430), which will become staples in your closet to wear for years to come. In cozy cotton jersey, the set's camel version features black-and-white embroidery and the logo at the front. The handkerchief hem, whipstitch details, and the cutest back pockets make it perfect.
It's true: we can't get enough of SKIMS. Kim Kardashian's line is size-inclusive and super-cozy, and is truly the epitome of stay-at-home style. Try out this Bouclé Knitted Hoodie ($107) and Tapered Jogging Bottoms ($113) in an adorable rose clay hue, which mold to the body in the most flattering way. Stretchy, teddy bear-like and featuring a matching cami to boot, this tracksuit's perfect to liven up a rainy day.
Rainbow-brights and lively prints
Hot pink is having a moment right now, evidenced by Jacquemus' epic La Veste Jacket, which has made the rounds on Instagram as of late. Going from a color most of us left behind in the '90s and early '00s, magenta is as chic as you can get in 2021 — especially in head-to-toe tonal dressing. We can't get enough of this $195 Jonathan Simkhai Standard Annie Organic Terry Oversized Sweatshirt and the matching $165 Niya Organic Terry Trackpant, which can be dressed up with a fuschia blazer or worn with on-trend New Balance running sneakers. The hoodie's adjustable drawstring hem makes it super-flattering, and the fabric is super-luxe.
When in doubt, stars always do the trick — especially when they're Golden Goose. Try out the brand's $270 Denise Track Jacket and $270 Dorotea Wide-Leg Pant, which are made of a soft poly fabric and emblazoned with minimal black stars. The logo at the front is all things sporty, while the wide leg and snowy hue are truly on-trend.
If knit, wooly sets are more your thing, and you love color but aren't so sure about tie-dye, meet your match: the Olivia Rubin Cecily Cardigan ($335) and Tilda Pant ($76). The pastel ombre shade ranges from pistachio to lemon to rose, while the cardigan's button closures with pearl accents makes the look even cuter.
