My mantra when getting dressed is always “comfort over everything,” especially when the temperatures start to drop. Leggings have been my go-to choice for year-round wear, whether traveling, running errands, or simply spending a day out with friends. And celebrities like Kaia Gerber and Lindsay Lohan have made leggings look put-together this year by pairing them with cardigans or button-downs recently, but what we’ve been missing this whole time is another comfortable pant trend: track pants. This summer, athletic shorts were the go-to sporty shorts trend for fashion people and celebrities like Zoë Kravitz, Hailey Bieber, and Emily Ratajkowski. And now, the athletic, casual vibe is continuing into the fall.
Admittedly, I was on the fence about wearing track pants too often, as they give off the same too-casual vibe as sweatpants. However, Ayo Ediberi was just spotted in Italy for the Venice International Film Festival wearing a pair of wide-leg black track pants, styled with a black button-down, a Chanel quilted hobo bag, and a baseball cap, which has become a signature accessory for the actress. While the sporty pants were quite flowy and oversized, the addition of her polished leather bag and structured button-down balanced her outfit out, giving it a look that was chic, relaxed, and elevated all at once.
Leggings are a wardrobe staple at this point, but based on how cool Ediberi’s track pants outfit is, I predict they’ll be giving leggings a run for their money this fall. So, if you’re on the market for a new pair of comfortable, sporty pants that aren’t leggings, keep scrolling.
