Fashion: Don't sweat it!

As online retailers report record sales in loungewear, classic cuffed sweatpants have become a hot ticket item. Already a go-to look for off-duty celebs, the humble sweatsuit cemented its status when Tom Ford showed 80s-inspired grey marl sportswear pieces in his autumn winter collection earlier this year.

Athleisure and loungewear combine as cosy cotton sweatsuits make a welcome return. Look for classic cuffed joggers with a drawstring waist, like the flecked cotton sweatpants above, €14.50, and matching hoodie, €16, Matalan.
