    Tracksuits. Matching sweats. Athleisure clothing.

    Whatever you want to call it, this whole sporty chic trend is in full swing. We’ve seen the return of some brands that I used to wear when I was a child, are making the biggest comebacks in fashion.

    One of which being Champion.

    And I am obsessed with my new pink tracksuit.

    I stopped wearing full matching tracksuits around 8 years old. And never looked back.

    Maybe because at the time they were sent in from Italy by my grandparents and were the cheesy children’s sweats of the ’90s. Known to me, at the time, as my tuta (pronounced too-tah) – which I just now Google translated and see that it simply means ‘suit.’ Makes sense.

    My nonna and nonno always sent care packages around Christmas time, filled with homemade cookies and clothing. Sometimes pyjamas. Sometimes a tuta, but always bold and colourful with patterns and random words.

    How ’90s.

    I remember one was a bright, leprechaun green with flowers. Only once did I received a nice blue Kappa tracksuit. Which again, at the time it wasn’t cool to wear Kappa, but now I’m totally styling because I’m retro – Yes I kept it. No I don’t wear the pants because it doesn’t fit over my bum… but I’m holding on to the hope that I will once again be able to squeeze them over my cheeks.

    And growing up I’ve always had clothes for the house and clothes for going out. I change out of my house clothes when I go out. And I change out of my going out clothes when I get home.

    So the fact that I can reminisce about my childhood while at the same time rocking my new millennial tuta both in and out of the house is currently the greatest thing. And the fact I just coined the term millennial tuta is second greatest.

    Let’s bring the tuta back.

    How do you feel about the latest athleisure fashion takeover?

    I can’t hate. Most trends that I find weird at first, I eventually start to warm up to – like aviator sunglasses, skinny jeans and wearing leggings as pants.

    And this colour is so me!

    I’ve only ever worn t-shirts at home while bumming around. Though lately they’ve become a staple in my every day wardrobe.

    Especially when I travel. They’re good on hot days where I can wear them on their own. And they’re good for cold days when the chilly weather calls for layering.
    Dress them up, dress them down. Tuck them in, or leave it out… Damn. I feel like I just wrote a line for a song. I may have a #1 in the makings people. You heard it here first!

    Sidetracked.

    As I was saying…
    Now, I have always been a Guess girl. Except, I usually opt for their more obvious girly and fashionable clothing, but I’ll admit they’ve got some nice men’s t-shirts. So it helps when bae has a few casual tees that I can ‘borrow’ – and sometimes keep in my closet. And since I like my t-shirts baggy, and loose fitting, it’s perfect! Sometimes I help him decide what shirts to purchase by deciding what looks good on me. Cuz let’s face it, bae’s wardrobe is my wardrobe. That’s just the rules of the universe.

    And as we know, travelling calls for some early mornings. And sometimes deciding what to wear can take up some precious time.

    So when in doubt, I go for a simple logo tee. You can’t go wrong with that!
