Copenhagen Bamboo tracksuit and home clothing
Short answer: The Copenhagen Bamboo tracksuit is made for days at home and the commute. Bamboo viscose makes it lighter than classic cotton sweat, so it does not feel clammy indoors.
A set rather than separates
A set in the same colour and quality looks more considered than two random pieces. You do not have to match shades, and the set works at home and out of the door. See the sets in bamboo tracksuit for men.
The set for women
For women the set is cut so the top and trousers match in length and width. That gives a calm overall look, even when you wear the pieces separately. See the styles in bamboo tracksuit for women and pick the colour you will wear most.
Weight and indoor climate
Classic sweat is heavy and holds moisture when you sit for hours. Bamboo viscose moves moisture away and feels cooler at the same thickness. That is pleasant in a warm home or on a long train ride. See the whole group in sweatwear.
Waist, legs and pockets
A soft drawstring waist and pockets with firm seams decide whether the trousers get worn. Also look at the leg finish, which determines whether the trousers work outdoors. More styles in bamboo sweatpants for men.
Loungewear for men
Loungewear should be easy to put on and comfortable all evening. Many wear the same set from morning to sofa, so the fabric has to cope with a lot of use. See more pieces in bamboo loungewear for men.
For commuting and errands
A set in a dark colour works well for shopping, walks and the commute. With a jacket on top it looks tidy, and you do not need to change when you get home. Choose a style with ribbed cuffs, so the trousers do not drag.
Fit
A tracksuit should be relaxed without hanging. The top should move freely over the shoulders, and the trousers should not pull across the thighs when you sit. If you are between two sizes, think about whether you will wear the set mostly at home or outside.
Washing
Sets are washed often and should keep their colour. Wash at 40 degrees inside out and let the set air dry. Wash top and trousers together so they wear evenly and keep the same shade. More advice in the washing guide for bamboo clothing.
When two sets pay off
If you wear loungewear several days a week, a single set wears quickly because it is washed all the time. Two sets in rotation get more rest between washes and stay looking better. You also always have a clean set ready.
Choosing a colour
Dark colours hide wear and marks and are the most practical outdoors. Light colours feel fresh and suit days at home. If you choose two sets, one dark and one light can be a good combination.
Frequently asked questions
Can a bamboo tracksuit be worn outside?
Yes, especially in dark colours and with ribbed cuffs. With a jacket on top it works well for walks, shopping and commuting on days when you want to be comfortable.
Is bamboo sweat warm enough?
The fabric is lighter than classic cotton sweat and feels cooler at the same thickness. Indoors it is comfortable all year, and outdoors you add a jacket when it gets cold.
Should the top and trousers be washed together?
It is a good idea. When the pieces are washed together, they wear evenly and keep the same shade, so the set still looks like a set after many washes.
