Style tips for autumn/winter 2024

In case you haven’t heard, sport is officially en vogue. So it’s no surprise that athletic-inspired pieces are making their way out of our gym kit and onto the runways, street-style pics of fashion weeks gone by and even the WH office.

The latest sporty trend to make the rounds through the style set? Tracksuits of course! Whether it’s a pair of the iconic adidas Original’s Firebird, an expertly layered 70s-inspired track jacket, or even a full matching set à la Rihanna or Blake Lively at the Superbowl, (or hey, Ali G if that’s your vibe).

What is the difference between a tracksuit and a sweatsuit?

The terms are often used interchangeably, but a tracksuit is typically worn in more athletic spaces. Think of your old school sports team’s winter uniform with straight-leg pants and a zip-up jacket – but more chic. Sweatsuits, on the other hand, are more about lounging and leisurewear, usually a hoodie and joggers for cosy days around the house.

Juxtaposing colours, patterns and silhouettes bring the athleisure piece to a more sartorial styling.

Track Jackets

Throw over your favourite pair of leggings on your way to the gym or dress it up for a day on the high street, the best part of a tracksuit is their versatility.

We’ve spotted the style set pairing their favourite track jackets with everything from their favourite baggy jeans to mini and maxi skirts. If you’re going for a more dressed-up look, pair with contrasting accessories like loafers to mix it up.

Pair such a laidback piece with height defying pointed toe heels and tailored outerwear, or experiment with layering.

Track Pants

Effortlessly versatile, you’ll be reaching for your track pants for literally any occasion. With your favourite trainers and an oversized knit or trench to run errands or on coffee dates, or take it up a notch with the tailored styling of oversized blazers and heels.

Want something elevated yet still comfortable, a pair of classic ballet flats adds a feminine touch while on the other hand, your favourite chunky winter boots add some edge. Otherwise, lean into the cosy and comfortable vibe with fleecy jumpers and your favourite pair of uggs for a stylish seasonal look.

Tracksuits

If getting dressed in the morning stresses you out at just the thought, an all-in-one ensemble like a matching tracksuit makes your routine a breeze. Style with high heels for something on the more formal side or keep it simple yet classic with a pair of coloured trainers.

If the weather is particularly biting, layer with your favourite trench coat to take it up a notch.
