A perennial athleisure favourite, the vintage track and field look is here to stay in 2024. Get yourself a slice of it with a bomber or track jacket – one of Mr Hedi Slimane’s best-loved silhouettes, so where better to look than CELINE HOMME. This navy velour example features classic details such as striped elasticated edging and contrast piping. BODE’s 1970s-inspired jersey or a pair of straight-leg sweatpants from Casablanca are also top of our Wish List. For a contemporary take, try AMIRI’s distressed hoodie.

Feeling a little less than enthusiastic about leaving the house right now – or doing much at all? Say no to dull and drab and swathe yourself in bold colour. This unavoidably cheery orange sweatshirt from SAINT Mxxxxxx (brainchild of LA artist Mr Cali Thornhill Dewitt and READYMADE designer Mr Yuta Hosokawa) combines the brand’s signature distressing with a graphic from Mr Charles M Schulz’s Peanuts comics, for a little extra fun. Pair with clashing sweatpants from CHERRY LOS ANGELES or Palm Angels if you dare.

It’s tempting to shy away from too many logos for fear of looking flashy, but a well-designed graphic is a thing of beauty, able to evoke streetwear or cultural influences, give a platform to artistry or celebrate a brand’s heritage. Balenciaga is well-known for incorporating sportswear references into its collections, and the crest emblem on these wide-leg sweatpants does so subtly enough that they will suit a range of looks. Bolder designs can be found on hoodies from Enfants Riches Déprimés or Gucci – or try LOEWE for a logo with icon status.

While it may have been given a new name in 2023, the idea of understated luxury is something we at MR PORTER have been championing for a long time. Luckily, the world has caught up with us. A purposeful wardrobe of wearable and versatile pieces that focus on quality and craftsmanship should be the ambition of every well-dressed man – and that includes loungewear. Who does refined masculine elegance better than almost any other? TOM FORD, of course. For sweats that are a true investment, the brand’s garment-dyed hoodie is hard to beat, but we wouldn’t turn our nose up at options from stealth wealth favourites such as Brunello Cucinelli, The Row or Loro Piana either.

What’s a sweatshirt when it’s not a sweatshirt? Well, it might be a fleece. Or else a fine cashmere hoodie? One of the cosier trends to fall into during the tail end of winter is loungewear cut from super-soft and fuzzy fabrics. Japanese brand KAPITAL’s Alpine half-zip sweatshirt is lined with dense fleece that will keep you warm whether you’re on a mountainside or nipping between city appointments. Another outdoorsy pick would be Polo Ralph Lauren’s fleece. Or, if you simply want to roll around in bed in total bliss, go for a wool-cashmere blend hoodie and sweatpants from NN07 and Mr P. respectively.
