Topping The Trends: A Velour Tracksuit
Monday, February 1st, 2010Trends come and go quickly in modern fashion but there are a select few trends that stay around long enough to become fashion staples. Denim jeans are the most notable trend turned staple in recent decades. A velour tracksuit seems to be the latest new staple in our wardrobe.
Unlike fads which last a season or two and then disappear, the velour tracksuit seems to be sticking around. Most retailers have designed a velour tracksuit every season for the past few years. In modern fashion, two years or more in shops is like a lifetime.
Celebrities started wearing velour tracksuits first. First it was Britney and her bridesmaids in embroidered baby pink velour tracksuits. Then the WAGs were spotted styling themselves in an array of different coloured velour tracksuits whilst their other halves were playing in international competitions.
Now everyone likes velour tracksuits, from high street to designer. They are so liked because they are stylish while being comfortable. It is important however that if you are going to wear a velour tracksuit you buy one that is made out of good quality material. It should not change or lose its shape when you wash it. Also; you do not want the colour to fade during washing. The Tracksuit will be more trashy than trendy if the quality is bad.
For adults darker colours work best otherwise you may end up a little like mutton dressed as lamb. Pinks, light blue and green are not for the over 20s. Flattering colours include black, brown and navy.
On the other hand, children look brilliant in bright colours. It is hard to find comfortable, practical and stylish clothes for young girls. With a velour tracksuit you combine all three. When children have been swimming or doing activities they like to be able to easily pull their clothes on and off.
So with this in mind, take a look at tracksuits offered by different retailers. You will find some awful ones and the odd gem. Retailers which sell other velour clothing will be a good choice. Make sure that you do not get overcharged for the tracksuit,
