I am not a fan of tracksuits outside of the gym or worn any other time except during excercise or going to the tanning salon. I see people in tracksuits at the mall, in restaurants, in cinemas and it just so sloppy. I get it that it's comfortable but I really don't need a bright pink blob in front of my seat when I am watching Wolverine. And no, I don't think your ass is juicy.
So I am always on the fence when it comes to pieces inspired by sportswear meant to be worn outside an exercise facility. Take this trouser from Dior Homme for example.
I love the grey shade and tone and the front zipper detail is interesting but for me, it hits too close to looking like a pair of expensive designer trackpants. The button front tab is a nice sliver of detail but I am not feeling the love for the zippers. I think the intention to create a standout, wearable piece is there but the zippers cheapen the look and it really is a shame.
Plus, even though this is 100% cotton, it has a sort of Nylon sheen that reminds me just too much of PE lessons. I guess this could work out if you really try hard to dress it up but at the end of the day, wouldn't you rather look effortless than exhausted?
