Tracksuits inspired by Ted Lasso and Squid Games

FashionOutfit ideasFebruary 21, 2023

I don’t know about you, but I’m obsessed with the retro tracksuits that the TV series Ted Lasso and Squid Game made fashionable again. Pop culture and luxury fashion brands like Gucci x Adidas and Tory Burch are definitely influencing my newfound love for these ‘70s jogging suits. But also my desire to feel comfortable in cosy clothes even when I’m out and about. So, is it possible to wear tracksuits stylishly enough to go to the office or run errands? The answer is a big yes!

You will see next how to adapt the Ted Lasso (Season 3 will be launched on 15th March on Apple TV+) and Squid Game (available on Netflix and with season 2 to be expected in 2024) looks to achieve more wearable outfits by pairing either the jumpsuit jacket or trousers with, for example, a fashionable blazer or skirt.

How to wear Ted Lasso tracksuit pants

The uplifting Emmy Award-winning comedy shows the American Ted Lasso and his English football team in retro blue jumpsuits.

Our suggestion is to wear your tracksuits with elevated garment pieces and accessories to dress up the Ted Lasso athleisure outfit. For example, combine jogging pants with an oversized blazer. And instead of sneakers, consider wearing high-heeled pumps or sandals as suggested by Zadig&Voltaire and Miu Miu.

Another good option is to wear Ted Lasso tracksuits with fashionable cowboy boots like Gucci presented. Otherwise, style your jogging pants tucked inside heeled boots, as we saw at Balenciaga or ankle boots. Additionally, you can carry a chic handbag and finish your look with statement earrings.

How to wear Squid Game tracksuit jackets

In the K-drama Squid Game, all contestants of the deadly contest wear the same uniform, green tracksuits, quite similar to Ted Lasso’s ones.

Instead of wearing the two-piece Ted Lasso and Squid Game tracksuits, combine the sporty jacket with a timeless pencil or mini skirt, like Miu Miu and Marine Serre showed, or with a fashionable pleated skirt. Additionally, wear other feminine pieces to balance the look like a shirt with an oversized collar, bejewelled shoes and printed tights.
