I love velour tracksuits and for some reason - I haven't worn them for years .
I saw some by Messbebe on Amazon , but I've bought some really poor quality clothes from them before .
I was lucky with my Muslim swimsuits -they were great !

Any recommendations please :

Cotton Traders ?
M and S ?
Any ideas ?

Sorry, not my thing! Women’s magazines seem to have adverts for them quite often.

How about MandCo.
But only in green

I have a very good quality one from Lindex, it’s 6 years old has been worn so much but still looks great.
They are still producing the same one.
Mine is top left for the top and bottom left for the bottoms.

I was in Liverpool shopping today....loads of young one wearing juicy tracksuits ( which are velour) ....my DD had one age 12 , which was 17 years ago....but it looks like they are back in fashion again

Try Matalan.
They had them recently.
Quite decent quality too.

Sorry Esmay I don’t buy them either, just see them in hairdressers and waiting rooms. Take a Break is the only one that comes to mind.

No one’s wearing round my way

Juicy Couture used to be the popular make but I thought these garments were out of vogue now.

Juicy couture. Lots in TK Max in lots of colours

Juicy Couture is back in for the young set - apparently they call it Y2K chic?! - but there’s no reason we can’t wear them!

I last bought and wore a velour tracksuit in 1979 ! I even remember the month in which I bought it - November !
It was velour ,maroon and from M and S .
I wore it to shreds .

Standing at the busstop -I notice thst so many young teenage girls are wearing them .
The colours are so vibrant and pretty .
My back/navy /grey tracksuits are OK but have had an overdose of dog and gardening .
I need more warm things so no extravance on my part !

Thank you all so much for your replies .

Tesco had in lounge wear.

I looked up Juicy Couture and I love some of the designs .
One thing really amused me - some tracksuit bottoms have juicy emblazoned across the rear .
I just wondered what I'd look like with that across my enormous bottom !

I think that I'll order a pink set !

I've admired Cotton Traders .
Lindex stuff is good quality .
I love the green set by M and Co .
And I'll have a look at Tescos / Matalan .

Thank you for your ideas .
