Casual Luxury: Velour Track Tops From Sergio Tacchini

Add a touch of "casual luxury" to your wardrobe with these latest luxe velour track tops from Sergio Tacchini.

There's classic track tops and then there's classic velour track tops. Think the New York wise guys or the London wide boys of the 1970s & 1980s. Tony Soprano from the Sopranos or Sammy & Frankie from The Business. Even Brooklyn Nine Nine's lead detective Jake Peralta sports a full velour tracksuit & slicked back hair when he goes undercover in the New York mafia, giving a nod to the underworlds connection to luxury sportswear. There's just always been something very special about classic sportswear in velour. Something which has also been closely associated with the sportswear mafia look, and these guys don't mess about when it comes to clothes. Back in the 80s and 90s if they weren't wearing $1000 suits they could be seen hanging around their local restaurants and bars kitted out head to toe in velour tracksuits. The classic velour look now arrives courtesy of the ST logo with a collection of Sergio Tacchini velour track tops which will most certainly have you looking ream!

The luxury velour tracksuit look played a key role in the transition of sportswear throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The one-upmanship and luxury appeal of velour tracksuits from the likes of Fila & Sergio Tacchini created new playboy look. The luxury sportswear look owed a lot to Sergio Tacchini with his vision of style driven sportswear. Rising to fame at the pinnacle of casual sportswear in the late 1970s & early 1980s, the ST logo was worn by a new generation or rock 'n' roll tennis stars like John McEnroe. One of the most sought after sportswear brands of the original Casuals, it was the added touch of luxury when it came to the velour styles that really put Tacchini above other sportswear labels of the era.
