Tracksuits, sportswear, sweatshirts... What do we call them and how many do you have?
The fact is that they are easy to wear, incredibly comfortable and versatile enough to be worn for many occasions. However, these pieces of clothing hide much more
than meets the eye. Let's take a look at their origin and subculture, which is not so well known to the average user. We will tell you why tracksuits are so comfortable
and stylish, where and when to wear them and where not to wear them.
WHERE DO TRACKSUITS COME FROM?
Tracksuits are everywhere, it seems. And they do not disappear - they develop, transform and undergo constant changes within the framework of current trends.
This clothing is no longer just a choice for home relaxation or exercise, but has found its way into most areas of our lives. Men, women, young, old, rich, poor;
there aren't many people who don't own a pair of sweatpants, or an entire tracksuit set consisting of a top and a bottom. But it wasn't always like that.
The birth of what we know today as a tracksuit dates back to 1967, when Adidas collaborated with German soccer player Franz Beckenbauer.
Until then, tracksuits were worn only by athletes who needed practical clothing for movement that would not hinder their maximum performance.
In the beginning, however, they were too tight, so that they were easy to keep on the body, and let's be honest - it was not a very nice sight, especially not for men.
Even in the 1970s, you'd hardly see anyone but football players or PE teachers in tracksuits.
However, with the 80s came breakdancing and hip-hop, Run DMC in Adidas clothes, Italian sports brands and football "overalls".
The fitness culture craze of the 1980s encouraged even more people to put on sweatpants for leisure and start moving, whether it was good old fashioned aerobics
or a classic jog. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the tracksuit revolution saw a slight lull, and pants with elastic waists, leggings, and garish colors incorporated
in flimsy and not very shapely nylon came to the fore. Tracksuits, however, continued to feature prominently in pop culture - from the Spice Girls, who were proudly
represented in the idea of sports by Mel C, aka Sporty Spice, to Damon Albarn from Blur and Oasis. In 2000 came the birth of British grime music. It was formed
as a way for the young black community to talk about their life experiences and difficult childhood. Artists like Skepta and his "tracksuit mafia" or Dizzee Rascal
pushed sportswear to the fore and ensured that the music genre grime and the clothes associated with it became part of mainstream culture.
Nowadays, we have it so that you don't even have to play sports to appreciate sporty styling. Thanks to membership in fitness centers, Instagram and the maximum
effort of 80% of the population to live healthily (at least in the photo), sweatpants and everything connected with them have become popular mainstream. And as for
the celebrities - they determined the tracksuit style. Just mention the singer Rag'n'Bone Man and his fiancee Beth Rouy, who dressed in sweatpants and sneakers
for their wedding - as did all their guests. Sounds a little crazy, doesn't it? But who really has the right to limit you within your personal style?
But let's talk about the unwritten rules when you should definitely not wear sweatpants and a sweatshirt to the company.
That is, if you want to avoid the inevitable faux pas. If you are careful and creative in your tracksuit styling, we guarantee that you will look "en pointe" whether
you go out or stay at home.
WHERE YOU SHOULD NOT WEAR TRACKSUITS?
Go to work, if you are not a trainer, a physical education teacher, a professional athlete, or a receptionist at a "fitness center". Definitely don't wear them to a job
interview - unless you intentionally want to be hired for a new position. We do not recommend that you wear them to weddings, baptisms, funerals, Oscars,
Nightingales, or other similar occasions. They are also not suitable for certain clubs and certainly not for a first date with a girlfriend to a restaurant.
Cinema is forgiven if you've found a soul mate who doesn't require you to Black Tie Optional to dinner with your dog. And if you're still a student, don't wear them
at least for final exams.
WHERE AND HOW TO WEAR THEM
Do you consider your visit to the gym a "Real Life Tinder Experience"? Okay - so forget about tight tracksuits and choose "muscular" tight t-shirts that will show
off your hard-worked figure. However, if you didn't spend a lot of time training during the summer - choose a looser sweatshirt. Choose oversized sweatshirts
with a hood and, in addition to perfectly covering cellulite, you'll stay nice and warm and incognito on the street. Complementing them with printed t-shirts and
massive sneakers never hurts. However, if you feel like a VIP, don't forget to complement them with stylish sunglasses and a nice watch.
Since sweatpants often have pockets, they allow for comfortable sitting or standing, they are also ideal for travel. Plus, they're easy to wash, fold, and pack, and
they'll look great even when you don't have an iron handy. For traveling, choose oversized sweatpants that will allow you to move easily even when you are
running to the last call to the soon-to-close airport gate.
If you're still feeling young, feel free to wear sweatpants to the club in the evening. However, take into account that your goal will be to make an impression.
Look for tracksuits with a print or logo and match them with designer sneakers and fancy accessories in the form of jewelry. As long as you don't overdo it, you can
achieve an original style in hip-hop clubs, concerts or festivals. If you love your tattoos, choose tight short-sleeved tops with sweatpants, and we also give green
to flashy colors or neon sneakers.
