Seven Luxurious Sweat Sets To Wear At Home And Outside

Words by Fedora Abu

24 August 2023

Once upon a time, “luxury sweats” were what both fashion and grammar pedants would deem an oxymoron. Not any more though. Now you’ll find some of the most rarefied brands on the planet whipping out joggers and hoodies from sumptuously soft fabrics and with the utmost attention to detail. And take note: while these pieces may be engineered for lounging, pair them with their matching top or bottom – and a few carefully chosen finishing touches – and you’ll automatically have an effortlessly put-together outfit you can confidently wear beyond the comfort of your sofa. Don’t believe us? For proof of the sweatsuit’s high-end glow-up, look no further than our seven favourite picks below.

01. The LOEWE logo-embroidered tracksuit

For a luxurious, high-octane and slightly retro take on the tech-jersey tracksuit, turn to our pals at LOEWE. This season, creative director Mr Jonathan Anderson has trimmed out the classic blueprint with an array of luxe details (note the Anagram embroidery and leather zip-pull). Better yet, it’s cast it in an eye-catching electric blue that will grab attention for the right reasons.

02. The tasteful TOM FORD sweats

Mr Tom Ford may live, work and quite possibly sleep in a sleek black tuxedo, but that doesn’t mean he won’t cater to his less preternaturally put-together customers. That said, don’t expect anything less than Italian-made, garment-dyed, subtly luxurious pieces, even in the sweat suit department. It is TOM FORD after all.

03. The logo-appliquéd Thom Browne shorts set

Mr Thom Browne, meanwhile, continues his quest to get all of us showing a bit more thigh – all year-round, if he had his way. Namely, he’s applied his love for the short silhouette to the sweat suit this time around, finishing it off with signature stripes on the sleeve and a logo-appliqué, so you can be certain who made it.

04. The minimal Brunello Cucinelli matching set

The ultimate if-you-know-you-know label for quiet luxury lovers, Brunello Cucinelli was never going to compromise on quality even when it came to indoor clothes. True enough, it has elevated the loungewear game to new heights by way of this minimally designed, Italian-made cotton-jersey combo (trimmed with suede drawstrings no less) in a wealthy shade of white.

05. The distressed AMIRI duo

Rock’n’roll knows no days off in the AMIRI universe. Which is to say, devoted fans of the edgy Californian label can now stay on brand even from the comfort of their homes thanks to this cosy, logo-printed and subtly sun-beached shorts and hoodie set.

06. The tennis-inspired Gucci tracksuit

Sweatpants are a sign of defeat,” said the late fashion icon Mr Karl Lagerfeld – but only because he’d never seen this pairing by Gucci. Rather, cop this crisp white logo-embroidered sweatshirt with the matching shorts, both of which nod to the rarefied world of tennis, and we can guarantee you’re onto a winner.

07. The slouchy Rick Owens sweats set

This season, the king of the subversive knit trades plunging necklines and provocative cut-outs for an altogether more pared-back pairing. Arriving in his signature moody hues and slouchy silhouettes, both the zip-up hoodie and the tapered sweatpants are spun from a sumptuous cashmere blend for comfort beyond compare, albeit with a Rick Owens-worthy dash of attitude.
