Juicy Couture Making A Come Back

Juicy Couture Making A Come Back

Another trend from the ’90s has made its way back into fashion — the velvet track suit! It was only a matter of time until Juicy Couture tracksuits were back in the spotlight of the paparazzi and celebrity endorsement.

Back in the days, Perez Hilton would post daily pictures of Hollywood socialites in velour tracksuits, a Starbucks in one hand and a chihuahua in the other. At Britney Spears' wedding to Kevin Federline in 2004 the guests changed into matching pink and white tracksuits, personalized with 'maids' (for the girls) and 'pimps' (for the boys) etched onto the back of their hoodies.

Nowadays, celebrities in tracksuits usually means a Lululemon/ Adidas look accessorised with a protein shake. A tracksuit with a J zipper was the ultimate downtime uniform for celebrities.

In March Juicy Couture collaborated with Bloomingdale's to launch a capsule line of tracksuits in seven colors. Bloomingdale's vice-chairman Frank Doroff told WWD that Juicy Couture is even more relevant now than it was ten years ago. "Juicy was the originator of athleisure," he said, "a trend that resonates with our customers and has a strong presence in our fall 2016 assortment."

"Current fashion trends are about elevating casual sportswear...and velour is velvet's casual antidote," operating vice president and fashion director of ready-to-wear Brooke Jaffe elaborated.

The Bloomingdale's collection will feature four separates for both women and girls in the brand's classic colors, including pitch black, golden camel, dragonfruit, and whisper pink. You can choose from a slim-fitted hoodie or a stand-collar jacket for $108 and slim fit or flare-legged pants for $88. If you plan on inducting your daughter or younger sibling into the club, prices for the girls collection range from $52 to $58 for a pair of pants and from $62 to $68 for jackets, depending on size.

The capsule could signal a comeback for the Juicy Couture brand, which closed all of its boutiques in the U.S. in 2014, four years after founders Pamela Skaist-Levy and Gela Nash-Taylor (now of Pam & Gela) sold the brand.

Even Paris Hilton’s Juicy Couture’s velour tracksuit has made a comeback in bright pink, of course.

“I love my Juicy Couture sweats. I know they were out for a while but I never stopped wearing them,” Hilton said. “It’s the most comfortable outfit to wear on a plane.

“And I love that that’s coming back.”

In case you need some ideas how this look can be worn, take a look at these throwbacks:

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
