For nostalgia’s sake, we’ve rounded up some throwback shots of fashion girls in their now-iconic tracksuits, and added a few recent sightings for modern-day styling inspiration as you peruse the current offerings.

Why are tracksuits so popular?

Tracksuits are not synonymous with the word “chic.” Sure, they’re cool, and thanks to the athleisure trend, have become acceptable attire for the fashion crowd. But while a few seasons ago side-striped tracksuit pants paired with shirts were the way to incorporate sportswear into outfits, today, it’s a much more coordinated and sleek affair.

Sporting a 90’s feel, this new athleisure trend is the infamous coverall, the tracksuit. Feeling a little cautious about the trend? Well, don’t. And while the tracksuit is the epitome of the comfortable athleisure trend, you don’t want to look like you just stepped out of a track and field training camp, so dress it up with some strappy heels or layer a tracksuit under a trench.
