- Good afternoon gentlemen.
I'm Ollie, it's Make Me That Guy.
And today's video is gonna be about
skinny joggers,
or track suit trousers or training pants
or whatever you like to call them.
They're now a very fashionable garment
and you'll see a lot of celebs wearing them.
And thus today we're gonna give you a few tips
which we like on skinny training pants,
skinny trackies, skinny joggers.
First things first is they have to actually be skinny.
Alright but, "How skinny?"
I hear you cry.
Well we do not want baggy tracksuit bottoms,
baggy joggers.
Then you're gonna look at best, like Rocky
running up those stairs in the '80s.
Or at worst, you're gonna look like one of these dudes.
A kind of '90s or early thousands hip hop throwback
who probably is gonna stab you,
is most likely in jail now,
who doesn't even know about the skinny trackies craze.
You don't wanna be like that.
You definitely don't wanna be in jail,
not a nice place.
Okay so yes, I'm waffling on as usual
but yeah we've got to make a distinction
between skinny and baggy trackies first.
And then we also must make a distinction between
skinny and too skinny.
So as you can see with my trackies,
they're kind of skinny at the ankle, right?
But they're not hyper skinny.
They're more just tapered off around my calves
and a little bit on my knee.
But they're not super, super skinny.
Alright see that we've got a few sort of patterns
around the thigh area
and these interesting zip things going on.
I always really those in a skinny tracksuit.
It makes it clear they're trying to be sort of new age,
urban stylish fashion tracksuits
and not just something for the gym.
And by the way, never wear a skinny track suit
to the gym.
They make you sweat disgustingly, alright?
They really are not for training.
Okay.
So yeah, so we can see that they're skinny-ish
around the ankle, the calf, the knee,
even on my thighs.
But they're not hyper skinny
like this sorry excuse for a human being,
you're seeing right now wearing this
super skinny tracksuit.
I just don't get it.
Tracksuits are meant to be comfortable.
That does not look comfortable.
Look how ridiculously tight it is over the calf.
It just looks dumb, alright?
So go for a skinny tracksuit bottom
which mimics the one I'm wearing.
And not something too skinny where I can see the shape
of every crevice and muscle on your leg.
It's not about that.
Okay right, and so now we're also looking at
a guy in a full tracksuit.
Today I'm just wearing
the skinny trackies
with a t-shirt.
But I actually really like the full tracksuit look as well.
There's something super cool and urban about it
so check out this look.
There's a couple of nice examples of full
skinny tracksuits on here.
Very cool.
Our next point has to be about the shoes you wear.
This is the most important thing about skinny trackies.
You can get away with just wearing a nice
longline t-shirt like I'm wearing.
But, your shoes is the major issue.
Thus you can see I am wearing a pair of
Air Roshe running shoes.
Generally, low-key running shoes are great.
We often mention Nike Air Roshe
because they are cheap; they are everywhere,
and they work with a lot of things.
And skinny tracksuits is not exception.
Alright, I've got no socks on today or ankle socks
which, you know it's a nice summer vibe.
It looks pretty cool, but that is you know,
that's optional.
But these shoes are small and they're low-key
and thus they work really well with the skinnies, alright.
Other shoes we really like
and we're gonna flash up now.
First, we've got our New Balance 998's.
Super cool,
look great with skinny jeans or skinny trackies.
Then we've got these Flyknit Air Max.
The pattern looks great and it adds
that extra sort of urban fashion element in there.
Then we've got the classic Air Max 90's.
Match the color after the trackies,
a nice pair up here.
And then finally in the UK we've got,
these are very popular.
These kind of round-toe Reebok classics.
Bit of a '90s throwback again.
But, they also have that shape and that low-key
sort of vibe to them
which looks really cool with trackies.
So those are a few ideas for what trainers
to wear with them, alright.
Why the shoes are so important is because
if you wear big, clumpy basketball trainers,
some Jordan's just look too big for example
to wear with trackies.
They sort of take away from that look,
that sporting vibe and they look too big
for the skinny nature of the ankle.
You find that with skinny jeans and
big, bulky, clunky trainers as well.
Thus, the ones we showed you
generally tend to be running shoes.
They're much more streamline.
They're fashion running shoes.
Let's be real.
Remember that this is not strictly a casual look.
Yes, it's sort of day wear.
It's not smart casual.
It's not smart at all I'm talking about, right.
It's a casual look, but it's a fashion casual look
so one thing which really works and I always like
is to mix up an outfit like I'm wearing.
A plain longline t-shirt, accessory,
and look we have brown there, beige
mixing with my skinny trackies, right.
Even the watch has got a bit of gold going on
mixing again with the trackies.
But finally is to top that off,
with a cool leather jacket and hoodie.
Alright check out the link now.
That is to our video on cool leather jackets
and how to wear them,
and I'm gonna show you one example of a look
I really like with trackies.
Alright okay guys so there we have it
with a little leather jacket on.
As I've said, check out the leather jacket video
to see how to team it up and which ones
go well with the hoodie and our favorite leathers.
But it also gives another element to the skinny jeans,
skinny jeans?
Skinny tracksuits bottoms look.
So there we have it.
This is a classic leather bomber.
And I can even work in the old school hat, again.
In beige, matching up with my skinny trackies
for this kind of cool, street, urban look, alright?
So there we go.
There we have it, gentlemen.
Check out the video on hats as well
flashing up now.
So you know which is the right kind of hat
to be wearing at the moment.
Okay fellas so there we have it,
I hope you liked our skinny trackie looks
and ideas on how to rock them 2017.
