The Juicy Tracksuit - Still ace.

Okay, so I've been sweating Juicy Couture velour since J. Lo wore the pink Juicy hoodie and short shorts in the video for "I'm Real (feat. Ja Rule)" (Don't hate.) Unfortunately, my thighs are in no shape to be workin' J. Lo's pink shorts, but fortunately, nine years after said video, I've finally had the cajones to own up to my obsession and buy my very first Juicy Couture tracksuit.

In the States, the Juicy Couture tracksuit has unfortunate associations of an early-to-mid Nineties Paris Hilton. In the UK, it's up there with Burberry checks and door-knocker hoop earrings (read: "Chav-tastic!).

In my mind, the Juicy tracksuit shares the same trajectory as Uggs: it went from hot to passe to so-bad-even-my-13-year-old-cousin-won't-take-it to contemporary classic.

Though I'm one of Juicy Couture's staunchest defenders, there are a few conditions if you're contemplating buying one of these puppies:

1. No Juicy crests, cheeky sayings or rhinestones, please.
2. No lettering on the tuchass.
3. Absolutely never to be worn with Uggs. Ever. (Chunky white early 90s low-tops, absolutely.)


Have you or would you ever wear a Juicy tracksuit?
