Black sweatsuits for cold walks, travel and slow Sundays

A black sweatsuit hides the mud splashes of a wet November and still looks put together on the train home. We sew this color in four sets, two with a fleece inside, one in velvet and one in lighter jersey for milder days.

Fleece inside for wet, dark afternoons

The first set pairs a cropped sweatshirt with loose joggers. Because the top is short, a white tank looks nice peeking out under the hem. The joggers don’t restrict your stride, so you can wear them on the road, for a workout outside or at home on the couch.

With white sneakers and a black beanie it’s a clean, sporty look. Prefer something softer? Add a big light-colored scarf or a bright bag. Over the cropped top, a longer parka in fall or a knee-length puffer in winter covers your lower back on windy days.

The second is a hoodie with joggers that have cuffs at the ankle. You can tuck them into tall boots, and the legs stay dry in snow. Under a puffer, this womens black tracksuit does the job of jeans plus a sweater, and it’s the one we’d pack for a weekend at a country house where nobody minds a bit of dirt.

Want the hoodie roomy? Order the top one size up, and choose the joggers for your hips.

Both are meant for a cold fall and a real winter. They’re warm.

Velvet and light jersey for milder days

Our black velvet set, the fabric many people call velour, has a zip-up hoodie and matching pants. It doesn’t look fully sporty, so it’s fine for a café in town as well as the airport. On a plane or a train it lets you move, and the hood helps against the wind on the walk from the station to the car.

Spring evenings and mild fall days are for the two-thread jersey set. There’s no fleece inside, which means you won’t overheat. Its fitted pants and zip jacket look good open over a white T-shirt, and the knit has a slight stretch. Wash it inside out at 30 °C and the black stays deep longer. Black is also the easiest color to match, so the jacket goes with jeans and the pants with nearly any sweater you own.

We make all four from XS to XL. See every color we sew on our sweatsuits page, compare the softer pile in velour sets, or try the grey ones if black feels too strict.
