Tracksuits aren’t just for lounging anymore—they’ve evolved into street-style essentials that can be dressed up or down with ease. If you’ve ever wondered how to transform a tracksuit from casual to effortless chic, the answer lies in mixing and matching it with wardrobe heros such as a trench coat, a crisp white shirt, and pointy heels. These pieces add a touch of elegance to the sporty vibe, making for well-balanced looks that can be both trendy and refined.  

Tracksuits come in many styles and many colors, ranging from the mainstream black and neutrals to more vibrant hues. I recently purchased these track pants and track jacket and though they come in neutral and dark blue options, I went for the bright orange because it is a statement color—bold, vibrant, and full of energy. Plus this shade radiates confidence while remaining playful, making it perfect for a variety of occasions. Another reason to love this set is its lightweight pique fabric. It feels breathable, extra comfortable, and drapes beautifully.

Not sure how to style this bright tracksuit? Here are four ways to wear it, whether you’re going all-in on sporty luxe or opting for a sleek, structured mix.

1. Full Tracksuit with Pointy Pumps 

If athleisure style is your thing and you like your outfits to have that loungewear feel, then pairing your tracksuit top and bottom as a matching outfit is the way to go. Just layer a crisp white tee under your track jacket for a refreshing contrast. And to elevate this otherwise sporty casual ensemble, throw on pointy toe pumps and a structured leather tote.

2. Tracksuit Pants with an Oversized White Shirt and Pointy Pumps  

To strike a balance between casual sporty and effortless chic, swap the tracksuit top for an oversized white shirt. I went for a shirt with lace detailing to go along the sporty mood while maintaining a polished touch. You can leave the shirt completely untucked for a cool, relaxed vibe or french-tuck it if you prefer to balance your outfit proportions. To give the look that elevated touch, wear pointed-toe pumps. I reached for my favorite off-white pumps to accent the orange and white contrast, but black or brown pumps would also work well with this look.

3. Tracksuit Pants with a Cropped Trench Jacket and Pointy Pumps  

A cropped trench jacket introduces a tailored element to the sporty, relaxed vibe. Wear the trench closed with the belt cinched to create a defined silhouette and elevate the look. Step into sharp pointy pumps for a chic-meets-sporty look.

4. Tracksuit Top with Jeans and Sneakers

If you want to maintain the casual allure of the tracksuit, one way to mix and match it is to pair the top with jeans. This combo gives off a laid-back aesthetic that works perfectly for weekend errands and sporting events. I opted for these baggy jogger jeans that I have worn on repeat lately! To play up the sporty chic allure, I went for some color coordination and added my Adidas Samba sneakers in a matching bright orange. Those tie in perfectly with the tracksuit’s sporty DNA.  And I accessorized with aviator sunnies to keep in tune with the cool and sporty chic look. You could also throw on a baseball cap for more street-style edge.

How to Wear Summer Essentials: White Linen Pants and Raffia Sandals

How to Wear Summer Essentials: White Linen Pants and Raffia Sandals

The transition from Spring to Summer is happening quickly on this side. The greenery is back to life and vibrant, temps are consistently warmer, and insects are out (not too excited about this part, but it's part of it!) This time of the year is when we start switching to light clothing and open shoes. When it comes to light clothing ideal for hot days, linen is a steady choice and one that oozes effortless Summer chic no matter the style: dresses, shorts, shirts, and pants too. Linen pants are a Summer staple thanks to their versatility and breathability. I gravitate to wide-leg linen pants during the Summer and I especially like them in light and neutral hues. Those pair well with matching linen shirts, contrasty knit tops, and even blazers. The styling options are endless with a good pair of linen pants.

For this outfit, I paired off-white long wide-leg linen pants with a sleeveless sweater tank and raffia sandals. Nothing screams Summer more than raffia sandals! These ones feature a platform design with an ankle strap that gives them a retro and very feminine allure. They are perfect to wear with flowy, floor-grazing pants.

The colorful green top brings a snazzy, season-perfect contrast to the look and makes it appropriate for weekend casual errands, lunch dates, or alfresco gatherings. To play up the contrast, I added a chunky marbled beaded necklace and resin bangles. This is a definitely a look I will be repeating this Summer. I also will be repeating the pants and raffia sandals combo with different tops so make sure you check in for more inspiration!

Styling a Cropped Trench Coat With a Jumpsuit For Spring and Summer

Styling a Cropped Trench Coat With a Jumpsuit For Spring and Summer

A trench coat is a staple in any wardrobe. And though classic midi-length trench coats have dominated the outerwear landscape, their cropped counterparts have rapidly climbed to mainstream status. Cropped trench coats offer the same utilitarian vibe as classic trench coats, but in a much shorter length which makes them appropriate for the warmer Spring and Summer weather. Another benefit of a cropped trench is that it doesn't interfere with the rest of your look as much as a longer version would. Think bold printed pants that you would want to layer without too much obstruction. I have been into cropped trench coats and love styling them with just about everything in my wardrobe: dresses, wide-leg pants, skirts, and jeans.

For this outfit, I went for a wide-leg indigo denim jumpsuit with off-white pointy-toe pumps and an off-white cropped trench coat. I sized up in the jumpsuit from my typical Medium size to an Extra Large size for a baggy fit. I like that the more relaxed silhouette gives off an effortless vibe while the cropped trench adds a trendy and polished touch to the look. This is an elevated casual outfit perfect for running errands on the weekend and casual meetups. You could also wear it to Spring and Summer fashion events that have a more relaxed dress code.

Trench coats offer a versatile layering option for year-round style. A trench coat pairs well with just about anything in your wardrobe and it puts a trendy spin on this longstanding closet staple.
