Todd Snyder Is Making the Tracksuit Cool Again

In the world of head-to-toe iconic outfits, there aren’t many options that can hold a candle to the traditionally tailored suit other than the tracksuit. The leisurewear staple that’s hugely popular in Europe made waves Stateside when icons like Run-DMC, Bob Marley, J.Lo, Missy, Mariah, and a bunch of other “pop culture icons” we refuse to acknowledge made comfy couture a thing we could all get behind. It’s everywhere these days, but the lemon and lime versions you see on the streets aren’t anything like award-winning menswear designer Todd Snyder’s take. Snyder’s rendition of the tracksuit is cut to his exacting specifications from premium, imported Italian fabric with a unique poly/cotton blend that’s designed and built to be not only a substitute to your average hoodie or track pant, but your sport coat and trouser getup as a whole. We’re not kidding. The design, cut, contrasting details, and finishing make each one of these pieces–whether you go black, white, red, navy, or green–a suitable alternative to the traditional monkey suit in all but the most hoighty-toighty of establishments. Without, importantly, feeling like a member of the Mob.
