Tracksuit Sophie silver pink

The Sophie tracksuit is a two-piece retro suit made from shiny metallic fabric, with a silver jacket and trousers and bright pink panels on the chest, sleeves and trouser legs. The suit is available in women’s and men’s sizes from 36–38 to 44–46 and is perfect for a tacky party, an 80s party or Carnival. You can simply slip it over your normal clothes.

What is the Sophie tracksuit made of?

• The fabric is 100% polyester with a metallic sheen.

• White ribbed cuffs finish the waist and sleeves of the jacket, while the trouser legs end in elasticated cuffs.
• Available in sizes 36–38, 40–42 and 44–46.

The shiny shell suit as an 80s icon

In the 1980s, half of the Netherlands wore a shell suit: a loose-fitting tracksuit with a zip-up jacket, coloured panels and tight cuffs, worn more often on the street than in the sports hall. The metallic version took this style into the disco, where its shine looked best under the disco lights. That is exactly what makes such a suit a staple at tacky parties today. The silhouette is deliberately loose, so you can dance comfortably.

Jewellery, face paint and glasses to match the silver suit

Large round earrings and bracelets in bright pink or neon match the pink panels on the suit. A curly wig and headband complete the 80s look, while bright blue or pink eyeshadow and hot pink lipstick bring the face paint into the same style. Large sunglasses with coloured frames are a great addition. White trainers are the natural choice to wear under the elasticated trouser legs.

Choose the Sophie tracksuit and you will be ready for Carnival or the next tacky party in the perfect 80s outfit.
