ICYMI - Gucci fever has well and truly taken over the fashion industry this year. The Italian fashion house managed to knock Balenciaga off the top spot for the ‘World's Hottest Brand” in Q2, and having lined up a number of successful releases since we wouldn’t be surprised to see it ranking pretty high in Q3 as well. In 2022 alone, the brand announced a return of its collaboration with The North Face, as well as a joint effort with London-based skate brand Palace, but the collab that got everyone talking was its collection with German giant adidas back at the start of the year.

But not everyone who loves the Gucci look has the Gucci budget (we know, we feel you!) and luckily for us, adidas has released a rather Gucci-esque collection of styles that takes inspiration from 70s sportswear. Gucci-fied or not, the trend has reigned supreme over the year, with tracksuits and terrace-style sneakers like Gazelles and Sambas dominating the fashion scene - so we won’t complain at all about seeing some of these styles arrive in plush velour and premium-looking colour palettes. If you’re looking to get the look, read on to see all our top picks from the range.

First up, these 70s Velour Track Pants went straight into our cart. The combination of 2022s favourite colour (this beaut green shade) and super-soft fabric make them a real must-have, and they look equally as good styled with a plain white crop top as they do with the matching track jacket. The sweatpants feature a subtle Trefoil detail all over and a slightly flared hem for the perfect casual fit.

Secondly, we’re absolutely loving the exaggerated shape of the Blouson Track Top, which brings a really high-end feel to the piece. Arriving in a knitted style, the top features an extra chunky rib-knit collar, cuffs and hem, which deliver a pop of contrast in a creamy-coloured hue. Three Stripe taping adds a sporty touch, while an oversized Trefoil logo sits at the chest.

We're also loving these 70s Flared Tracksuit Bottoms, which feature a slim fit and the perfect flare. They come with a high-rise waistband and front welt pockets, as well as 3-Stripe taping and a Trefoil logo at the thigh.

Finally, the Adicolor 70s Long Sleeve Bodysuit is the perfect pairing for any of the collection's bottoms. Cut in a flattering, tight fit, and coming in the most perfect shade of blue, this bodysuit will make a chic addition to any wardrobe. A v-neck adds a modern touch while branded details build on the sporty vibe.
