Sweatsuits
Heavyweight cotton hoodies, matching fleece sweatpants, and technical warmups from independent boutiques.
Men wear modern sweatsuits as matched pairings of heavyweight cotton hoodies and fleece pants cut in relaxed silhouettes for daily life. Broad shoulders and dropped seams give the fleece drape while neutral shades of oat, grey, and black maintain clean lines. Heavy fleece loops trap body heat and keep the structure crisp through repeated wear.
Sweatsuits began as the warm up suits athletes wore before and after competing, and hip hop took up matching tracksuits in the eighties, when Run DMC wore Adidas in the video for My Adidas. Fear of God, which Jerry Lorenzo started in the early twenty tens, pairs minimal shapes and comfort with a luxury feel. Essentials, its lower priced sister line from the late twenty tens, brings hoodies here, some in oatmeal shades, and Represent was started by brothers George and Michael Heaton in Manchester.
Pair a fleece pullover with matching relaxed bottoms and leather low top shoes, or break the set apart beneath an overcoat. Utopia in Toronto brings Essentials hoodies with Nike, Fear of God and Adidas, some pre owned, while Due West in Toronto carries Represent hoodies and knits.
