Does a better type of clothing exist? I submit that it does not. Tracksuits rule and are enjoyed across the world by a variety of cultures, from Russian Gangsters, to Italian Gangsters, to the Beastie Boys: If you want to look fresh as hell you had better have a track suit ready to go.    Fashion moves in cycles, but the ubiquity of this particular article seems to be evergreen. I started my love affair with track suits when I ran track in high school. We had warm-ups supplied by the school but after practice it always felt great to throw on my 80s FILA red white and blues. Its the sort of clothing that says "I can probably run really fast, but right now Im relaxing".  I've owned all manner of track suits, my favorite of all time was was probably the Adidas x Pharrell WIlliams  The colors were dope and the blue was this beautiful saturated sky blue, I haven't found anything similar to it and used to get tons of compliments on it. I've got half a mind to buy it again on ebay from some ageing chav. My current fave is the navy Polo Ralph Lauren sweats. They were a bit on the pricey side but have lasted for ages and just seem to hold their shape and fit really really well. They're a bit boring so next I'm probably gonna go for something really heavily patterned, a statement tracksuit if you will:  Does GBS have any other track suit enjoyers?

Please. I always wear a pinstriped black suit jacket when out in public. Trakkies are not suitable.

In the mid 2000s every emo and hardcore band had an american apparel track jacket as merch. I still have my Thursday and Fall of Troy jackets somewhere.

I like a good track top these days. Urban menaces have moved on from the fully tracksuited look to the North Face jacket and Balaclava roadman look, so it's time to take the trackie back.

I bought a tracksuit to go as Paulie from the Sopranos for Halloween and it was actually pretty expensive cause it was essentially the same tracksuit he actually wore and then the people I was going with changed their minds and just went as random other things so I was just stuck with it in my closet for a few years before I donated it to goodwill

I love wearing tracksuits op. My favourite ever was a brown velour number (matching top and bottom, wide leg bottoms zip up top) in a light-brown velour. I imagined myself to look like JLo (although looked of course, more like a goon)

The only really defining feature is the zipper which looks to be kind of brown? Maybe leather? And either key or cross shaped. I'm pretty sure Polo does a cream coloured zip up with matching bottoms. They're high quality, on the pricier side but affordable enough for people who haven't been famous for nearly 3 decades.

I love a good tracksuit. Went through a bit of a phase where I collected them. I've got the full black Adidas getup with both white and black shelltoes and hats to mix it up, a black Kappa tracksuit with gold trim, a thin red one I think I got from the Bro Science merch store, and a black one with red and white trim adorned with the logo of a band I don't even really like (it's SASASAS - cornball D&B act but their merch store is out of control), as well as some that are more 'sweatsuits (hoodies and sweatpants) from Vapor95. Real obnoxious hipster poo poo but I love it. Definitely on the hunt for more I just don't have the disposable income right now. I particularly like patterned ones, and I remember seeing some website that sells real boutique ones in like, Burberry and poo poo but can't recall what it was. They might have even tailored them for you.

Tracksuit + bucket hat also a good combo, glad the latter is making a comeback.

Astoundingly I've watched enough badass Russian guys in track suits to kind of find them hot.... You have to be Slavic and they have to be striped though
