Luxurious fashion house [Gucci](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gucci-slipon-sneaker) created a new pair of [loose nylon track pants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-fw5-track-suit) that mix retro style with a fashion-forward colorway.

Adding a chic twist to classic casual wear, the new pants reference vintage sporting pieces in both their color and the oversized silhouette. With an elastic waistband and drawstrings, the pants allow for maximum comfort. The nylon fabric is practical and waterproof making as well, making them perfect for both athletic events and casual wear. The brand's classic jacquard stripe runs down the length of each leg, with the logo hidden between.

Using a pastel sky blue color with white, black and red accents, the design pays homage to [retro streetwear style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-for-nepenthes) on the nylon track pants from Gucci, which are available online now for $1,300 a pair.
