Juicy Takes us Back with New Tracksuits

by Corey Gray

I made a Facebook status probably a month ago saying

how my new desired aesthetic is “model off duty”. Clearly

Juicy Couture listened to my prayers and released new

velour tracksuits. Now I can join the likes of early to mid

2000s Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian, and find the perfect

balance between tacky glamour and casual comfort. You

know I’m going to slip it on every morning with a pair of

oversized sunglasses to go grab my daily iced caramel

macchiato with soy. And if you’re in college, it’s a super cute

look to wear to that early morning class that you go back to

your room and pass out the second it’s over.

You can get these bad boys on the Juicy Couture

website if you have almost $200 to spend. Don’t fear,

though, there are more affordable options. If you hop on

over to Kohl’s, you can find a little less exciting, but much

more affordable Juicy velour tracksuits. These are the

orphaned tracksuits from Juicy’s heyday, but now that the

Juicy is trying to bring them back, there’s no reason you

can’t save a pretty penny by adopting one of these babies.

Another place to look is the sale section of the Juicy Couture

website. There are a few gorgeous options there, but they

are much pricier still than the Kohl’s options.

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London even has a

2004 Juicy tracksuit on display as part of an exhibition on

underwear and it’s relationship to fashion. Juicy Couture

velour tracksuits are a little slice of fashion history, and it’s

so exciting that we can live it all over again. Who wouldn’t

want to be a part of this resurgence of such a fashion icon?
