Track stars

Whether athletic or apathetic, zip on a ’70s track jacket for a sure-fire win

What do Danny Zuko, John Mcenroe and Tony from The Soprano’s have in common? Aside from their fiery tempers and great hair, they all have a soft spot for that most versatile of zippered cardigans. And autumn, my friends, is going to be positively awash with these things! So whether you channel Björn Borg in Neil Barrett’s sporty versions, slink around in one of the altogether more flamboyant chinoiserie embroidered velvet numbers offered by Gucci or even perhaps feel man enough to tackle Burberry’s fully sequinned number, which just begs to dominate a dodgy disco dancefloor somewhere—wear it with rudeboy flair. Zipper up to the chin under a coat or down to expose a verging-on-inappropriate amount of chest hair...and preferably a chain. The truly badass brave the matching bottoms. If Kanye and Leonardo can tracksuit, so can you.
