Track pants are having a huge moment!
The track pant is having a major glow up moment. You know, those traditionally loose fitting, lightweight pants that often feature side stripes. Right now we are seeing track pants well beyond the gym. As women are mixing these athleisure trends into their everyday outfits, it’s causing a scene.
Studio 5 Trend Tracker Mindy Dunyon shared ways to wear one of this year’s hottest fashion trends.
A Nostalgic Comeback
Track pants aren’t just for lounging or the gym this year. This nostalgic style piece has evolved from a casual staple to a high-fashion item. “[We’re seeing it] on the runway with high heels. I mean… dressed up, dressed down. You are seeing them everywhere,” Mindy emphasized.
High-End Options
Mindy’s first pick is more of a splurge from Lululemon. “They’re really popular right now, but they’re, like, a hundred and fifty dollars,” Mindy said. They can be worth the investment because they will last a long time. These track pants are a little different in that the stripes have a little bit of a curve to them. They’re made from lightweight, windbreaker-like material.
Budget-Friendly Options
If you want something a little more budget-friendly, Mindy likes a traditional option from Target. “Target has a few styles, but I really liked just this traditional track pant,” she said. Mindy likes these traditional black track pants with piping down the front because they elongate the leg and have a tailored look.
She also likes these same pants in red. “ The reds and the pinks are really hot right now,” Mindy emphasized.
Cargos & Ties
Mindy liked a cargo style track pant from Amazon. “I thought it was nice to see it in a whole different way with the cargo style,” she said. You can find styles with ties at the top or drawstrings at the bottom, so you can taper the leg or leave it big and baggy.
Casual Chic
One of the most popular ways to wear track pants this year is casual chic. “Pair it with a really casual or loose sweater or even a sweatshirt,” Mindy said. This look is perfect for running errands or casual outings. Pairing track pants with flats instead of sneakers elevates the outfit even more.
Street Style
For a more polished street style, pair track pants with a trench coat and sneakers. “ These are not even athletic material. They’re a higher end material. It’s just having that stripe down the side, and then throwing on a trench coat or something on top.” This combo is comfortable and stylish, perfect for those run-around days.
Dressing Up
People are even dressing up track pants for more formal occasions. “A lot of people are pairing these with a blazer or a button down blouse and then heels,” Mindy explained. “You really have to kind of just embrace it and own it and love it.”
