It's been a while since track pants and tracksuits have returned to your fashion consciousness. Nowadays, it's not weird (anymore) to see the street style elite rocking the polyester, slightly baggy pants with stripes on the side. The throwback look of yore (hello, Spice Girls) is definitely back.

This trend has only been reaffirmed at this season's New York Fashion Week, where even the front-row attendees have been spotted with track stripes adorning their ensembles.
