For workouts, hikes, and nights out
Track pants are an athleisure mainstay, but this fall, the retro shiny ripstop and nylon versions have made a comeback. The trend has legs in every part of the menswear market: Streetwear giants like Kith and Off-White are offering them in both neutrals and brights, high fashion brands like Acne Studios and Gucci are doing their own bold interpretations, and performance active lines are releasing workout-friendly versions. Here’s how to style these swishy pieces:
Acne Studios Track Pants
Layer these over your gym shorts for the walk home after a treadmill session or try them for a late-fall jog. A wide-leg silhouette and ankle zip openings make quick changes a cinch.
Thom Browne Racing Stripe Track Pants
The designer’s signature red, white, and blue stripes give these lounge pants a sophisticated feel. Pair them with a button down and polished sneakers for a casual night out.
Fear of God Nylon Snap Cargo Pant
Cargo styling provides a fresh take on the classic track pant shape, while the tearaway snaps help maintain an athleisure vibe. The Japanese nylon material makes them a boon in any type of weather. For a luxe touch, the pockets are lined with plush ultrasuede.
Rhone Swift Air Pant
These ripstop bottoms were designed to be worn during workouts. Breathable mesh lining, proprietary temperature-regulating fabric, and fashion-forward construction make these ideal for lifting sessions and HIIT classes.
Y-3 Multicolor Colorblock Shell Track Pants
These marry the best of design-minded detailing (like zips and ties in all the right places) with functional essentials for outdoor adventures. Insulated lining, belt loops, and plenty of pockets ensure you have everything you need whether you’re hiking or jogging. For the full effect, pair with the matching jacket.
adidas Originals Track Pants
As creators of the original shell track pants, it’s only natural that adidas came out with several brightly colored updates on their classic design this fall. Try them with a solid long-sleeved t-shirt or a logo-printed sweatshirt for active recovery or a pick-up soccer game.
Perks and Mini Green Print Track Trousers
For those unafraid to wear color, these pastel bottoms make a relaxed but interesting basic. Wear them with neutral tops in solids or geometric patterns for effortless styling that doesn’t go over the top.
Rhude Flight Pant
A slim fit ensures these pants can also be worn outside the gym. Add a designer graphic tee, a quilted jacket, and a baseball cap, and you’re good to go for casual drinks.
