I've always wanted a matching red sweatsuit — I think part of it is that I have this pixelated memory of my mom in all of her '80s glory wearing one with some sweet high-top Reeboks when I was a toddler — and since loungewear [1] rules everything around me, it was pretty clear to me that now is as good a time as any to make that desire a fashion reality.
Months ago, I stumbled upon this comfy fire-engine-red sweatshirt [2], and after wearing it weekly I decided this would be the sweatshirt that I'd build my red sweatsuit around. All I had to do was find the matching pants.
After days of seeing them out of stock, Old Navy put them back on the site and I quickly purchased them. When they arrived, I put the full set on and couldn't believe just how soft it all felt. Read on for the full scoop!
Old Navy's Vintage Crew-Neck Sweatshirt and Mid-Rise French Terry Tapered Jogger Sweatpants
Everything about this set is a dream. The Vintage Crew-Neck Sweatshirt [4] ($20, originally $35) has a classic triangle notch on the neck that makes it extraspecial. But the best thing about it is that I've worn — and washed — it at least three times and the colour hasn't faded. It still matches perfectly with the Mid-Rise French Terry Tapered Jogger Sweatpants [5] ($22, originally $40), which are super cosy. The pants are tapered, which I like because it has more of a slimming effect, and when I wear the set together I feel polished and comfortable at the same time.
