Why the Tracksuit Is the Answer to Transitional Dressing

As the colder weather draws in, there’s nothing we love more than snuggling up in our cosiest clothes - but when it comes to that in-between period, it can be hard to know exactly what to wear. Six degrees in the morning and 16 by midday? Go for something too heavy and you’ll be sweating in no time, but opt for something too light and those mornings and evenings will start to feel pretty chilly.

Our favourite solution? Layering up with a comfy tracksuit. Not only do they nearly always coordinate with a matching tee, but they’re also perfect for mixing and matching with the rest of your wardrobe in order to tackle just about anything the weather throws at you. And, what’s even better is they’re also the perfect solution for those days when you just can’t decide what to wear: just throw it on and go!

And, the best thing is that tracksuits don’t necessarily have to be confined to the house or just casual situations anymore. Take this Nike number for instance - the wide-leg bottoms are bang on trend right now, and the collared sweatshirt adds a slightly smarter touch for more of a sport-luxe look. Plus, the neutral hue makes it super easy to style, especially if you’re looking to work it into your wider wardrobe.

Alternatively, a classic crewneck is always a good idea. We’re loving New Balance’s Nature State range right now - the pastel tones are spot on and they work perfectly with a pair of 550s if you’re going for a laid-back vibe. Wear it all together, or team the top or sweat with some leggings and socks for the ultimate athleisure-inspired ‘fit.
