Here\u2019s how to stay in the sweet spot and rock a tracksuit with the best of them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13426\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review.jpg\" alt=\"Tracksuits review\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Why risk it ?<\/h2>\n<p>When fashion and comfort collide, it\u2019s worth the risk to test it out, but it pays to do a little homework first. Keeping yourself on your fashion toes requires some effort, and the tracksuit is a great way to practice this skill. Plus, once you get it right, you\u2019ll have an entirely new style category to pull from.<\/p>\n<p>Every guy has athletic wear in their closet. But, it\u2019s pairing that jacket and pants together where most people fall short. So, you may be asking yourself, how do I do this in a way that\u2019s less Jersey Shore and more LA street? It\u2019s all in the technique, my friend.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t reinvent the tracksuit wheel<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to emulate any distinctive style, especially one with a throw-back feel, it\u2019s best to start with the classics. And when it comes to tracksuits, classic equals the Adidas Superstar. After all, one can\u2019t begin to rift off a retro style without first paying homage to it.<\/p>\n<p>The Superstar is legendary, making it easily recognizable and accepted, and comes in enough color options to suit your personal taste. The standard white \u201cthree-stripe\u201d design is enough of an accent to make a statement without being too in-your-face. First made popular in the days of Run-DMC, hip-hop stars of yesterday and today have continued to keep this tracksuit relevant.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for even more of an athletic look, the T7 tracksuit from PUMA is one popularized by celebrity athletes everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to the Adidas Superstar, it comes in several different colors to choose from, and is neutral enough that you can blend in with the cool kids with little fanfare. What differentiates the two is the T7\u2019s higher collar, which, when zipped up, gives a nod to European street wear.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-2.jpg\" alt=\"Tracksuits review\" width=\"1100\" height=\"1334\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-2.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-2-247x300.jpg 247w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-2-844x1024.jpg 844w, https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/men-tracksuits-review-2-768x931.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Now for the \u201chow\u201d<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve got the style of tracksuit best to dive in with, it\u2019s important to cover a few do\u2019s and don\u2019t\u2019s.\u00a0 First\u2014if you\u00a0 find yourself reaching for a plain, white <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/make-ultra-slim-tank-top-79412018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>tank top<\/strong><\/a> to wear under the jacket, step away\u2014I repeat, STEP AWAY\u2014from that shirt.<\/p>\n<p>The tracksuit is already speaking loud enough on your behalf that any part of your visible chest does not need to be part of the conversation. Instead, any old T-shirt is a much, MUCH, better choice.<\/p>\n<p>Next, pay attention to the fit of the tracksuit. Too loose or too tight belies its original intent\u2014to be a garment of athletic purpose. You want it to be roomy enough to allow for maximum mobility without completely obfuscating the shape of your body.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, keep in mind that a tracksuit is above all else, a casual look. Therefore, fight the urge to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reead.com\/en\/ways-men-wear-white-sneakers-116962019\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wear any kind of footwear<\/a><\/strong> outside the realm of sneakers. Remember, the tracksuit itself is the fashion statement\u2014competing focal points attract the wrong kind of attention.<\/p>\n<p>A final word on all things tracksuit\u2014once you\u2019ve developed enough confidence in the basics, there are a few areas you can branch out into.<\/p>\n<p>Patterned tracksuits run the risk of being too flashy, but if paired with subtle T shirts and footwear, and a healthy dose of swagger, they can pulled off successfully. Who knows, you may find your fashion nirvana in this category, you just have to be bold enough to attempt it.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px;
