Bridal Tracksuits Are Now A Thing, And We’re Into It
Move over wedding jumpsuit
If you've just started getting on board the wedding jumpsuit train, get ready to disembark and switch tracks. The bridal tracksuit is here, and it's giving the bridal romper a run down the aisle.
A more casual take on the recently popular one-piece bridal trend, the two-piece sets, reminiscent of our beloved Juicy Couture tracksuits from the early aughts, popped up at last week's Bridal Fashion Week. For his punk-inspired collection, Naeem Khan showed a sequin-embroidered number (above) complete with a front-zipper hoodie.
Never one to shy away from the fashion-forward and avant-garde, Vivienne Westwood's co-designer, Andreas Kronthaler, designed a lace bomber jacket, to go over a semi-sheer skirt, and styled it with a cap, as part of the brand's most recent (and incredibly cool) bridal collection:
Justin Alexander, too, had a take on the trend with a sheer bomber-and-ballgown tulle skirt combo:
Even the Kate Middleton-beloved and ever-elegant Jenny Packham put out a sporty look that involved a crystal-embellished short-sleeve tee and matching pants. It's no tracksuit, but it is a departure for the English designer, otherwise known for her ethereal and unabashedly feminine gowns.
While we have yet to see more incarnations of the sporty set made bridal-appropriate, we're here for it—if only to never again see a royal wedding-inspired gown.
