3 reasons why YOUR wardrobe needs a vintage track jacket
Hardly any piece in the vintage scene is currently experiencing such a hype as vintage track jackets. Their origin is in the sportswear sector, but the sporty and casual look of the track jackets has long since ceased to be just for sports, but has arrived in the streetwear fashion scene. Why does your vintage street outfit also need a track jacket?
Individual, sporty, stylish
Track jackets are truly unique in many different variations, details and colors - and that makes a statement. It often only takes one such it-piece to give an outfit that otherwise consists of more or less basic items of clothing a special look. A basic t-shirt with a track jacket over it looks much cooler. On the one hand, your track jacket is a reflection of your very individual style , which YOU celebrate yourself - and that also affects others! Because only those who feel their own style radiate confidence. On the other hand , you stand out from the crowd because, as is usual with vintage clothing, your track jacket is unique and nobody will rock it in this variation, color and shape anytime soon! With their characteristic, sporty touch, track jackets also complete your casual outfit!
Variety of materials, designs & details
Track jackets not only come in different designs, colors and patterns , but are also diverse in their details : They are available as zip jackets or half zip jackets , with a stand-up collar or hood and, in particularly rare cases, with buttons. In general, they can be classified in the category of transitional jackets, but their characteristic material keeps you warm at any time of the year, which makes a track jacket the right companion in everyday life for every situation. Depending on the brand, track jackets are made of different materials such as cotton, heavy cotton, nylon and synthetic elastane as well as mixtures of these materials.
Quality does not have its price here - the inexpensive all-rounder
Depending on the brand, the price of vintage track jackets ranges between 15 euros and 40 euros . Brand or not, you can get high-quality track jackets made from good materials for little money. A track jacket is therefore not only a cheap investment, but also a worthwhile one, because they are real all-rounders in everyday life and are also constantly used and worn as transitional jackets . Who doesn't know it: It's warm outside and you want to go out in a T-shirt, but you're worried that it will get cold in the evening. Or you're out and about and spontaneously notice a stain on your shirt - oh my! The faithful companion is needed - the track jacket! Apart from the use of a track jacket as a transitional jacket, the style also suits a number of occasions . Whether for sports, for jogging or as casual wear for an evening out with friends or for chilling on the couch at home - with a track jacket you are perfectly equipped everywhere!

A certain tracksuit hype spread in today's youth - significantly influenced by young personalities of the Berlin rap scene, such as rapper Pashanim, who repeatedly flows from Lacoste tracksuit collections in his tracks and also rocks them in his music videos. In the USA, celebrities like Zayn Malik or Kevin Hart are contributing to the tracksuit trend.

How do I style track jackets?
The golden rule applies here again: style your vintage track jacket the way you like it best. In general, however, you rarely do anything wrong when you wear a track jacket over a basic t-shirt or under a thicker jacket for a complete look and combine it with jeans, track pants or joggers. In summer it can be vintage shorts. Since track jackets come in many different colors, it is important to match the colors here. If you like it very colorful and your track jacket has a lot of different colors, be careful not to overdo it with the colors, for example by wearing pants in rather simple, monotonous colors like grey, black, brown or blue. If you're partying oversized: A loose fit generally looks very nice on vintage track jackets! For the extra clean tracksuit look: combine your track jacket with bottoms or pants from the same brand.
