Sexy Sportswear

It's upsetting to say the least.

The rise of the tracksuit pant for SS10, under the clever guise of "sportswear luxe" (ladies don't be fooled, a pair of jogging bottoms shall always scream one thing to me - the woman who has spent less time at the gym and more at the local greasy spoon) is creating a storm in fashion town. Hailed as a chic and comfortable alternative to the Noughties obsession with the skinny jean and latterly the "jegging" (a truly vile word if I ever saw one), this time around the trackie bottom is to be paired with skyscraper heels and a tailored top. That's right, these pants certainly aren't for lounging in front of Jeremy Kyle. In silk, satin and the ever reliable grey jersey, they must be worn tight and tapered at the ankle.

But enough of the blurb. The truth is, approximately 10% of the women who try to carry off this trend will get it right. Mainly because the women who will embrace this style will be the ladies who embraced tracksuit bottoms in their fully fledged Sporty Spice form back '98. Contrary to popular belief, this time around, they won't be hiding a multitude of sins. Rather the opposite in fact. Real women i urge you, steer clear!
