The Tonal Tracksuit

While neon brights are having their moment this season, for those who want to incorporate some colour into their wardrobes in a more subtle way our matching hoodie and jogger short tracksuits tick all the boxes. The pastel-hues are a gentle way to ease yourself out of your usual black, grey and brown-toned tracksuits while still feeling maintaining the slouchy silhouettes we’ve all come to treasure since lockdown.

The Bright Short

Nothing says summer like a bright bottom half option, the rule book goes out the window when it comes to swim shorts, adopting striking patterns and prints as we dare to take a dip. But when it comes to your everyday essentials, colour clashing need not be so daunting. Go for single block colours across your top half, bottom half and accessories to keep the look simple but oh so on-trend.

The Cargo Short

Summer short options in your wardrobe feeling a bit lack lustre? Enter the cargo short. It’s longer counterpart, the cargo trouser has taken over the trouser sphere in a big way for 2022 and its shorter style is ready and waiting to see you through your busy summer schedule. Team these with statement graphic tees, sweatshirts and vests then pair with men’s sliders or low-top trainers to make the longer line of these shorts work to your advantage.

The Quarter Zip Tracksuit

The surge in popularity of varsity and collegiate-inspired fashion in recent years has meant that the quarter zip has found its way into the summer essentials realm and for good reason. A fresh take on the usual hoodie and sweatshirt shape, our quilted design levels up this leisurewear essential and when paired with the matching joggers, makes for the ultimate errand (or hopefully) airport outfit.

The Bold Hoodie

If bold loungewear is top of you agenda but the crew neck cut isn’t quite your vibe, why not take your pick of our bright hoodies. The perfect layering piece when styled underneath oversized denim jackets and bomber jackets to add a subtle pop of colour as the hood peaks out. For the dopamine dressers among you, team with clashing-coloured jogger shorts or let your top half do the talking and style with some loose fit mens denim jeans and trainers.
