Writer Kitty Guo noticed that everyone is wearing track pants from Relax Lacrosse. She explains why the brand is so popular among fashionable stylists, editors, and influencers.
class, I forgot a change of clothes. But when I arrived, panicking that I might be forced to attend in a tank top and some decidedly unathletic gray wool trousers, a solution mercifully presented itself: My studio, Good Move,.
I bought the shorts on the spot, and inside I noticed a tag that read “Relax Lacrosse: Made in USA!! 100% independent!!”Since then, Relax Lacrosse has become inescapable across a select group of stylish women in fashion and media who glide from workouts to WSA to the West Village in the brand’swore kelly-green ones as part of her Halloween costume. After a Pilates class at Sky Ting, I discovered them in the studio’s merch line, this time in baby pink with red and black stripes. Track pants have been in the Zeitgeist lately — evenworkoutwear — but there’s a playful appeal and an IYKYK aura to Relax Lacrosse’s pairs that make them feel just a smidge more elevated than your standard options from Nike and Adidas. “They’re so stretchy and comfortable, but when I wear them I feel like I’m still doing a fashion thing; I’m not just in sweats,” says, who owns two pairs of Relax Lacrosse pants, describes them as “not exactly athleisure, but they’re kind of Sporty Spice. I’m waiting for Hailey Bieber to wear them, and then they’ll really take off.” Relax Lacrosse was founded in 2018 by a former lacrosse player who harbored fond memories of the shorts he wore in the ’90s — loose, easy to move in, accented with a distinctive side stripe. For the first few years, his clientele was mostly other former lacrosse players who shared his sense of nostalgia. At $80 for a pair of shorts, the price was a bit steeper than what you’d find at Dick’s Sporting Goods, but the cost was made more palatable by the fact that they were manufactured in the U.S. from authentic, high-quality materials. Eventually, his girlfriend, Kylie Bichsel, who had previously worked in fashion with stints at the RealReal and Calvin Klein, found herself wearing them all the time; she officially joined the company as a designer in 2022 with an aim to expand Relax Lacrosse’s reach.. And, of course, she made merch for boutique fitness studios like Sky Ting, Good Move, and She also began gifting pairs to editors, influencers, and stylists she personally admired — people with playful and eclectic personal style, like stylist and fashion writer, so Relax Lacrosse offered to gift her some products. She chose a pair of hunter-green pants and a pair of gold shorts, which she likes to style with heels and tweed jackets. “The ethos of the brand is having fun,” Tamkin says. “I think after such a long time of quiet luxury — simple, crisp suiting and monochrome pieces — a lot of people are getting excited by patterns and prints and color again.” Bichsel clearly has her finger on the pulse, as Relax Lacrosse has already dipped a toe into patterned waters for its collaboration with artist Tamkin is not alone in incorporating the pieces into her everyday attire; Harris likes to wear her pants with flats or, who owns two pairs of Relax Lacrosse pants and three pairs of the brand’s shorts, says she received a flood of compliments when she wore her track pants with an oversize pin-striped dress shirt. “It’s not exactly athleisure, but more like a medley of athleticwear meeting business casual,” Dix says. “That has been a really fun blend to play around with — how to combine those two aesthetics.” Case in point: Leandra Medine Cohen recently teamed up with the brand to create aA pendulum swing away from the highly polished “clean girl” uniform is indeed in motion as people gravitate toward looser, more casual styles; it’s a vibe shift that dovetails nicely with Relax Lacrosse’s easy versatility and throwback roots. I’ve already spent the past year going straight from work meetings to the library to Trader Joe’s in my traffic-cone-orange shorts, regardless of whether or not I have a dance class on my calendar; they are easy to wear and easy to move around in, and they make a statement with minimal effort on my part. They’ve become such an indispensable part of my wardrobe that I recently bought another pair of shorts, the frilly white Beditorial ones, that I’m excited to style with oversize T-shirts andcome summer. Now I’m in the market for a pair of the pants — once my favorite color combos come back in stock, of course.Editor’s note: If your preferred color or size is sold out, you can sign up for individual product notifications and subscribe to email updates onA Definitive Guide to What Carolyn Bessette Kennedy Woreis designed to surface useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
