October 20th, 2020
Get ready to bring out your Motorola Razr pink clamshell phone and the Louis Vuitton Monogram Miroir Alma because the early 2000s are back. That's the result of Kim Kardashian West and Paris Hilton joining forces for the launch of SKIMS new line of velour tracksuits. The two BFFs are the stars of a paparazzi-style campaign that takes us back in the past when the socialite couple wandered in L.A. with the same outfits: velour pants, tops and hooded jackets, glittering LV bags, vintage cell phones and big sunglasses.
After working on [this] for over a year, I am so excited to share with everyone. Velour is one of my favorite collection launches to date! It is the perfect blend of the nostalgia of the 2000s and present-day loungewear.
Kim told Vogue how the iconic velvet tracksuits have been a staple in her closet for almost 20 years and pointed out that the new versions launched are "versatile, comfortable, ultra-luxurious and fun", "perfect for looking sexy and comfortable at the same time".
The Skims velour line, which will be launched on October 21st exclusively on the SKIMS website, includes seven pieces: hoodies, joggers, bandeau tops, long robes and wide pants. All available in four colors to choose from: honey, sienna, smoke and amethyst.
Now that, due to the various lockdowns that impact not only life, but our style choices, loungewear is the main trend, the return of the velour tracksuit seems a perfect option to stay comfortable and warm during the winter. From the iconic Juicy Couture, which established the high-end suit as a symbol of the early 2000s, to the new SKIMS proposals, from Nike to MM6 Maison Margiela, here is our shopping guide dedicated to velour tracksuits.
