A vintage tracksuit jacket is worn open over a white t-shirt, with jeans or a skirt.
Vintage or technical tracksuit jacket?
The women's tracksuit jacket vintage style takes cues from the glory days of sportswear: stripes on the sleeves, high collar, shiny material or pique knit. The technical jacket, lighter and more breathable, is made for sports and running.
How to wear a tracksuit jacket?
Open over a t-shirt and jeans or a wide leg trouser, it adds a retro touch. Over a pleated skirt or dress, it creates a stylish contrast. With matching bottoms and women's sneakers, it forms a tracksuit set.
What size tracksuit jacket?
Fitted for sports, a size up for a relaxed look. The bottom of the jacket should stop at the hips and the sleeves cover the wrist; a ribbed hem tightens the waist.
How to care for a tracksuit jacket?
Wash it inside out, zip closed, at 30 °C, without fabric softener for technical models. Dry it on a hanger; heat can damage the heat-sealed stripes and printed logos.
Tracksuit jacket or zip-up hoodie?
The tracksuit jacket is often made from polyester or smooth knit, lighter and sportier. The zip-up hoodie, made from fleece, is warmer and cosier.

Frequently asked questions
How to wear a tracksuit jacket femininely?
Over a flowy dress or pleated skirt, with trainers or ankle boots. The contrast of styles creates all the appeal.
Does a tracksuit jacket keep you warm?
It blocks the wind but provides little insulation. Worn over a sweatshirt or under a coat, it becomes a mid-layer.
Can you wear a tracksuit jacket to the office?
Only in a very casual environment, solid-coloured, over a t-shirt and straight trousers. A blazer remains a safer choice.
How to prevent the stripes from peeling off?
Wash the jacket inside out and in cold water, and never iron directly on the stripes. The tumble dryer is to be avoided.
Should the jacket and joggers match?
A matching set looks neater, but a retro mismatched jacket over jeans is just as stylish. Keep a common colour between the pieces.
