Luxe leisure for men

Track jackets, French terry sweatpants, warm up layers and zip fleece.

Leisure dressing pairs athletic warm up pieces and fleece with considered cuts, letting sportswear serve as everyday clothing outside the gym.

Relaxed track jackets and oversized French terry hoodies balance pleated cotton pants or velvet layers. Black, oat, and grey shades anchor bright green or yellow tones, keeping casual shapes sharp through dense weaves and clean lines. Tracksuits became casual wear in the late sixties, and hip hop took them further: in nineteen eighty six Run DMC wore tracksuits in a music video.

Fear of God, the label of Jerry Lorenzo, first drew notice for extra long T shirts, and Essentials, its sister label since twenty eighteen, makes sweatpants and fleece in plain colours. Utopia in Toronto brings sweatpants and track pants from Essentials, Fear of God, Denim Tears and Palm Angels, some pre owned. WDLT117 in Toronto brings track pants from Song for the Mute and Avavav and a mesh zip hoodie from Homme Plisse Issey Miyake, and Due West in Toronto brings track jackets from Les Deux, Drôle de Monsieur and Adidas x Wales Bonner.
