My favourite tracksuit styles for women over 50

Tracksuits used to be reserved solely for the gym or strictly for lounging around at home, but in more recent years, the tracksuit has had a serious style upgrade and it can now be a go-to outfit choice for blending comfort, versatility and feeling effortless cool!  From relaxed wide leg pants, to side-stripe trousers worn with a blazer, there are so many ways to get this look right.  Hailed as the perfect travel outfit, I've worn my jumpset (a matching co-ord) for airport travel and am often relaxing at home, or popping to the shops, in my favourite tracksuit, it's soft, it's easy and it's ideal for working at home!

Comfort combined with style

​At the heart of the tracksuit’s appeal is its unbeatable comfort. Soft, breathable fabrics like cotton and jersey make it perfect to wear all day. Whether you’re working from home, running errands, or catching up with friends over coffee, a well-cut tracksuit keeps you looking put-together without compromising on comfort.  But make sure it is good quality and fits well - we're not talking tatty trekky bottoms that have seen better days!

Effortless versatility

One of the best things about a tracksuit is how easy it is to dress up or down. Pair the bottoms with a simple white t-shirt and trainers for a sporty, athleisure look, or throw on a blazer and some gold jewellery with the sweatshirt for a modern take on casual chic. You can even mix and match the pieces with other wardrobe staples to maximise your outfit options.  

Perfect for travelling in!

Travelling and want to do it in style? A tracksuit is your best friend. No more stiff jeans or uncomfortable waistbands on long flights or road trips. It’s ideal for layering, easy to move in, and still stylish enough to walk straight off the plane and head to your hotel without feeling scruffy.  I love my jumpset for travelling in, I've worn it with a denim jacket and with a lose shirt over.

Tracksuit styles to look out for

Next up is the sports tracksuit, perfect for workouts, walking, running or going to the gym, it will be lightweight with moisture wicking properties and tapered joggers, add your running shoes, gym bag and a hoodie!

Then there is the luxury co-ord lounge set, I am wearing my jumpset here, this is ideal for travelling in (by air, sea or car), style with a denim jacket, trench coat, or a blazer and don't forget your Longchamp La Pilage.

And finally retro tracksuits, the ever-popular side-stripe comes under this category , they come in lots of retro inspired colours and can be styled with a blazer and heels for an night out!

Invest in a timeless tracksuit

Tracksuits aren’t just a passing trend. From classic velour versions to sleek modern cuts, they continue to evolve with the times. Iconic brands like my adidas tracksuit below have played a huge part in making tracksuits a staple of both street style and high fashion. 

When you find the right tracksuit, well-fitted, good quality, and in a colour you love, it quickly becomes one of those items you reach for again and again. It’s cost-per-wear value is high, and it transitions effortlessly between seasons.
