Toteme’s Exclusive Weekend Capsule Will Make You Fall In Love With Athleisure All Over Again

In a post-lockdown world, it can be easy to look down on athleisure as a lazy way of getting dressed – however if anyone can make us fall in love with sweatshirts and leggings again, it’s cult Scandi brand Toteme. The minimalist brand is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2024, and is kicking off its new decade with an exclusive NET-A-PORTER capsule of weekend staples that manage to be as polished and stylish as they are comfortable.

Founders Elin Kling and Karl Lindman believe in the power of an everyday uniform, creating elevated basics that are so beautiful they could convert even the boldest dressers to the minimalist aesthetic. The overall ethos is rooted in simplicity, however clever design details, best-in-class fabrics and refined silhouettes ensure even the most foundational pieces are sought-after buys in the hands of Kling and Lindman. Toteme ignores the fickle trend cycle, and instead treats each collection as a continuation of what has come before – you can expect to see certain hero items every season, such as the sweeping coats, baseball caps and quilted jackets, all of which are designed to be styled seamlessly together.

January is always a sensible time to do an audit of your own wardrobe, and make sure you have all the building blocks covered. This collection has subtle sporty touches, such as half-zips, protective fabrics and track pants – however, it is much more elevated than your typical gym-centric clothes. These are leggings you’ll want to wear long after exercising. It is the ideal capsule for all of your weekend plans – whether they include a reformer pilates class, coffee in the park or a long lunch with friends – and proves that tracksuits can still be fashion-forward options in 2024.

Keep the Toteme styling principles front of mind when shopping this edit, which you’ll see modeled to perfection in this dedicated shoot. These dressing mantras are as follows – every outfit benefits from a sweeping, belted coat; a muted colour palette is a shortcut to elegant style; a jumper looped around the shoulders always adds a cool dimension to a look; and an oversized clutch tucked under your arm gives even the most casual outfit a street-style edge.

When it comes to hero pieces, our buying team is most excited about the dark khaki quilted jacket, which is embossed with Toteme’s signature print – a blown-up, abstract version of the brand’s monogram. This is destined for cult status among Toteme’s loyal following of fashion editors, stylists and A-List celebrities. Fans will also be clambering for the camel crew-neck jumper, which is made from 100% cashmere and has just the right amount of slouch to it. The black, cream and gray jogging pants are also the perfect foundation for any off-duty winter look – and the fit on the legs stops them from looking too scruffy or casual.

And, finally, only Toteme could make a classic anorak the height of cool. The half-zip jacket in a chalky white and black might look like your typical hiking waterproof from a distance, but it is actually made from supple lamb’s leather, giving it a luxurious look. Who would guess that what we’d all be lusting after in 2024 would be a leather anorak?
