Not Leggings—the Coolest Dressers I Know Reach For This Elevated Alt Instead
Fashion people in their 20s are over leggings—this is the off-duty alt they’ll style instead.
It's a widely accepted truth that comfort doesn't have to come at the expense of style, and there are a handful of wardrobe staples that deliver both in equal measure. At the top of my list right now? Track pants.
Where leggings were once the style set's default for off-duty dressing, I've noticed the coolest dressers are increasingly favouring relaxed, straight-leg track pants for the day-to-day. Reinforcing the trend just this week, I spotted Sofia Richie Grainge confirming just how polished the sporty staple can look.
Off to an immeditably chic start, Sofia began her look with a tonal foundation, pairing light-grey track pants with a matching T-shirt to create a clean, polished base. Unlike leggings, which cling to the frame, track pants lightly skim, creating a softer silhouette with plenty of movement. Adding definition, Sofia then knotted a striped jumper around her hips.
Finishing the look with brown trainers and Balenciaga's City bag, Sofia's outfit was genuinely as refined, as it was relaxed.
Needless to say, you can catch me in this exact get-up this weekend. Scroll on to shop the track pants I'm adding to my basket now.
