How Track Pants Went From Sports Gear to Style Essential

It’s 2018, which you already knew. But you might not know that it being 2018 means adding a pair of track pants to your wardrobe is a must. You read that correctly: You can now rock track pants outside of the gym (or your Thursday night rec league soccer team) and still be seen as a respectable member of society. Today’s versions are upgraded—some even look closer to dress pants—but still finished with eye-catching side stripes to keep that sporty vibe going strong.
Adding a minimal sneaker, oxford lace-up, or even a wingtip boot can take the b-boy staple pant to the office, drinks, or even a date. And the best thing is, you can get a pair at any price point, whether it's from high-fashion houses like Valentino or affordable spots like Urban Outfitters. Here are some of our favorites to buy right now.
