Modern fashion sees trends come and go regularly but some manage to become staples by being popular for a long time. Jeans would be one of the best examples of the past 50 years. Our new closet staple item seems to be a velour tracksuit.
Unlike other trends, shops continue to stock velour tracksuits season to season. Most retailers have designed a velour tracksuit every season for the past few years. Two years on the fashion scene is an age in modern styling.
Celebrities started wearing velour tracksuits first. First it was Britney and her bridesmaids in embroidered baby pink velour tracksuits. Then the WAGs were spotted styling themselves in an array of different coloured velour tracksuits whilst their other halves were playing in international competitions.
Now of course they are a popular outfit on any high street. They combine comfort and style which makes them a favourite. But you need to make sure that the tracksuit you wear is made of good quality velour. When it is washed it should keep its shape. Also; you do not want the colour to fade during washing. The Tracksuit will be more trashy than trendy if the quality is bad.
If you do not want to look like mutton dressed as lamb, adults should stick to darker colours. Pinks, light blue and green are not for the over 20s. Black, brown and navy are ideal as they are flattering.
Children however look gorgeous in brightly coloured velour tracksuits. Some parents struggle with finding clothes for their daughters which are comfy and practical whilst being stylish. With a velour tracksuit you combine all three. When children have been swimming or doing activities they like to be able to easily pull their clothes on and off.
Loo at different retailers for the right velour tracksuit for you. You will find some awful ones and the odd gem. Retailers which sell other velour clothing will be a good choice. £60 is the maximum price you want to pay for a velour tracksuit unless it is designer then you are just paying for the brand. Spending too little on the other hand will leave you with a shoddy piece of clothing.
