NoThere is no fashion icon who doesn’t have one of those days where the mere thought of wearing a suit makes you want to give up on all your commitments for the day. It is in those moments that sporty chic it becomes a salvation: a way to dress well without looking excessively constructed, perhaps with a retro touch to ride the trends of Autumn-Winter 2025 2026.
Soft fabrics, bright colors but combined wisely and unexpected accessories they rewrite the rules of sportswear, transforming it into an elegant and surprisingly refined way of dressing every day.
Where we have already seen them
Even before fashion elected the loungewear to declaration of stylethere was the 8’s fleece0, colourful, oversized, technical. It was born as a functional layer, but the pop color and soft textures soon transformed it into a symbol of an affectionately naive aesthetic. Likewise, i sweatpants have gone through decades of transformations: from the gray jersey of American colleges, to the iconic sports brands of the 90s, up to the recent rise of minimalist joggers, which have conquered catwalks and celebrities.
Undercover Autumn-Winter 2025 2026.
Autumn-Winter 2025 2026 marks a new chapter: the trousers of the whole are back as protagonists of the high-fashion shows, but with a retro spirit and therefore cooler. This is the case of Undercover, which reinterprets the trend by offering fleeces and joggers in a look that is anything but relaxed.
How to wear sweatpants in a chic way
Replicating the Undercover look means learn how to go out in a tracksuit by transforming it into a desirable look. On the catwalk, we start with a soft fleece, preferably in a sugary or ’80s shade, combined with dialogue joggers with a relaxed volume and elastic at the ankle. The secret to a chic look, however, lies in layering: one white shirt mentioned under the fleece or a décolleté to fantasy on glittery socks they completely overturn the gym imagery.
Dressy sweatpants? Everything is possible.
To recreate the same retro-chic vibethe aim is to avoid the “pajama” effect by inserting at least one structured or precious element, such as the long necklace seen on the catwalk.
The shoe does the rest, because replace the sneakers with décolleté, mary jane or slingback allows sweatpants to find a new, unexpected identity.
