Running might not be your thing, but chances are you’ll be wearing track trainers this season. Because after seeing cycling shorts and shades take over the fashion industry earlier this year, it seems like track trainers are the newest anti-fashion statement. And this news comes as a huge relief.
For far too long, fashion has been entirely centred on aesthetics but recently, with fashion finally embracing practicality, wearability has become key.
And while some might see this shift as mundane, it actually reveals something quite fundamental about our generation: while luxury has always been associated with stuffiness and (in womenswear – extreme femininity), we’re now looking for a sense of reality.
