Like It or Not: Red Carpet Tracksuits Are Really Happening

Tracksuits are back in a big way, but surely you've already heard this. (Looking at you, Armie Hammer.) While the athleisure staple might seem like a no-brainer for a casual brunch or quick errands run, turns out it's not reserved for low-key occasions alone. Zendaya, for one, is a fan of the red carpet tracksuit—she recently rocked one at an event for UK-based retailer Boohoo (and looked mighty cool, for the record).

It's a polarizing look for sure—but the key to pulling off a hoodie and sweats for a big-time event is leaning on elevated accessories. (See Zendaya's sleek hoops and classic black pumps.) Fresh-faced glam and a loose topknot nod to the athleisure vibes, but remain polished—a definite "do" in this scenario. We're sure this won't be the last time a tracksuit makes it way to the red carpet, so prepare yourself for more. Are you into it? If not, will it grow on you? Only time will tell.
