New Zealand fashion just got comfy-cored

Formerly the uniform of celebrities racing from the gym to their SUV, sweats have taken on a new role in 2020. A staple for most during periods of lockdown but they’re now also a vital element in a new wave of hi-lo fashion. 

While New Zealand might be in the fortunate position of living reasonably free of any pandemic enforced restrictions, this hasn’t stopped a plethora of new sweatshirts and sweatpants flooding the market. Take your pick from a wealth of global choices, from Britain’s classic Sunspel or Japan’s heritage-rich Loopwheeler to the mood-inspired jjjjound or Sporty & Rich.
