The styling essential: Track pants

You’ll be well aware by now that track pants should be a key part of your off-duty wardrobe. But to move the look to the next level, the style you’re looking for is ‘old school’. Think ’70s stripes, high-shine fabrics and wide-legged shapes and you’re on the right track, championed by every label from Preen by Thornton Bregazzi and Isabel Marant Étoile to Calvin Klein and Gucci. As far as integrating them into your day-to-day look, take inspiration from model Aymeline Valade and wear yours with a longline tailored coat and a sharp button-down shirt. Or, for an eccentric hi-low mix, pair them with deconstructed knitwear and killer heels like editor Sarah Harris. It’s track pants’ infinite wearability that make them FW18’s MVP.
