She’s on a roll this season. It makes fashionistas and marathon lovers run through the aisles of shopping centers. The culprit of his rise? The Saint Laurent house, among others. In these rainy times, its desirability is at its peak.
We saw her everywhere at the Paris half-marathon. Formerly worn by athletes, this trend is now available on all stylish girls, to the delight of chic sportswear aficionados. Fashion houses – Saint Laurent in the lead – have all released their luxurious interpretation of this classic of the paraphernalia of the typical runner. The version designed by the French house was also named the most desirable piece of the 1st quarter of 2026 by Lyst (+ 5550% searches from one month to the next over the period), thus extending the popularity of this fashion trend which has been seducing all fashionistas for several months already. Throughout the 90’s, it made a surprise appearance in today’s fashion.
As good students, the ready-to-wear labels have followed the dynamic to offer the people this piece inspired by the high spheres, but at a more down-to-earth price. The first ready-to-wear version to create a buzz on social networks? The signed jacket Uniqlo. You will have understood, this piece called desire is none other than the tracksuit-style windbreaker jacket.
If the signed model Uniqlo appeals to fashionistas thanks to its fitted look, much more flattering for female silhouettes than its original version, Zara is praised for its creativity in this area. Recently, the ready-to-wear giant has released several models of windbreaker-inspired jackets that have broken the internet. Latest model to be emulated in the modosphere? Red with white polka dots for 45.95 euros, with matching shorts. For those who prefer the second-hand market, the windbreaker can be purchased for barely ten euros in thrift stores.
And if we imagine that it is reserved for young Gen Z fans of the sporty aesthetic… nope! Women with a more “Quiet luxury” style, effortless chic, over 50, can also wear it without blushing. To do this, here are some stylistic suggestions.
The most fashionable among them can bet on the most fashionable combination of the moment: that of the windbreaker and capri pants, with slingbacks with a pointed toe. Those who want a more couture look can wear their windbreaker with a pencil skirt and heeled pumps. The most daring ones, who are neither shy in their eyes nor cold in their legs, will take inspiration from it-girl Alexa Chung and combine it with satin shorts with lace details and high-top shoes to break the overly casual look. Finally, those who like comfort can go for the first degree and wear their windbreaker with wide leg sweatpants. Up to you.
