Smart Tracksuits – From Sofa to Street

Short answer: A smart tracksuit is plain in colour, fits well and is made in a material with a beautiful drape. With the right shoes and accessories, a set in bamboo viscose easily works for trips into town, café visits and travelling, not just for the sofa.

What makes a tracksuit look smart?

Three things: muted, coordinated colours, a fit with shape, and a fabric that hangs heavy and smooth instead of bagging. Sweat fabric with bamboo viscose has exactly that soft, beautiful drape. See the selection of bamboo tracksuits for women.

Style it from sofa to street

At home the set works exactly as it is. Out and about you lift it with trainers or boots, a coat on top and simple jewellery. A plain bamboo sweatshirt for women can also be worn on its own with jeans, so the set does double duty.

Keep it looking good

A smart set only stays smart if it is washed properly: low temperature, inside out and no fabric softener. See the advice in our guide to loungewear you can also wear out, and find more soft favourites under bamboo loungewear for women.
