Let's face it, you can't really refer to yourself as a streetwear aficionado if you don't have at least one tracksuit hanging in your wardrobe. An iconic piece of road-ready kit, the original laid-back two-piece has been donned by sporting heroes, hip-hop icons and various other disparate groups over the decades.
Its evolution has witnessed the outrage of neon colours, velour fabrics and polyester shell suits alike, but nowadays - reigning things back to its primary root - the tracksuit has become emblematic of relaxed, road-ready style.
INTRODUCING THE BEFORE AND AFTER COLLECTION
Old school's just become new school. Our Stylist said it, not us...
A five-piece drop designed to "exude confidence as well as functionality" says Doriane, Gymshark Stylist.
As far as upping your street style game goes, a quality collection of sweats is essential kit. Joggers and leggings that pair up with almost anything, a hoodie to see you through all seasons snug, a crop top for layered 'fits and a sports bra to take you from chest-day to lazy days.
But enough said from the copy-kids, let's hand things over to our stylist...
"The versatility of the pieces within this collection means that you can mix 'n match effortlessly to achieve a variety of looks to suit you."

LOOK 1
A WORD FROM OUR STYLIST - DORIANE...
"With the collection's customisable nature and subtle pastel-colour palette, all shades of the capsule were designed to mesh well together, no matter the combination. Look 1 saw us style the Light Green Crop Top with the Peach Sports Bra and Leggings for a retro, preppy inspired feel.
Add the Mini Lifestyle Bag and a Black Gymshark Scrunchie to complete the look."
LOOK 2
A WORD FROM OUR STYLIST - DORIANE...
"For Look 2, we've paired the retro inspired Recess Sports Bra in Black, with the loose fitting Recess Jogger in Light Green to ensure an undeniable street-chic vibe. My top tip? Wear the joggers unzipped to achieve that 90s baggy 'fit, or if you prefer something a little more classic 'n athletic - lock the zips down.
Layering is key when it comes to mixing collections; for this look we decided to use your simple, everyday black short to match the stand out sports bra and tie the entire look together."
