According to US Weekly(so you can take this with a grain of salt, haha!), those matchy-matchy Juicy Couture velour tracksuits made so popular by J. Lo and Britney in the early 2000s?
THEY’RE BAAAAAAACK!
Say what!?
Yeah, and it looks like a lot of fashion brands are getting in on it. I found them at Forever 21, Express and ASOS.
Honestly…I’m secretly thrilled by this, but I dunno… I mean, they were really comfortable! I remember wearing mine all the time. I even bought one for my mom, dude! I think it was an Old Navy two-for-one sale, so I got one for me and one for my mom.
I only had the one track suit, though, and it wasn’t Juicy Couture, which seemed too expensive to me at the time.
The one I got from Old Navy was tan and — wait for it, because it gets even better — the pants were cropped, and I’m pretty sure that the sleeves were cropped too.
It was ridiculous on so many levels… It looked like a too-small flesh-toned velour tracksuit, and I’m 100% sure that it wasn’t flattering at all, but I rocked that thing! Girl, I rocked that thing while cruising the streets of San Francisco’s Sunset District back in the day.
So, my important question for you, dear fiends of fashion, is this: velour tracksuits — would you rock them in this day and age?
