Lovers of the tracksuit, rejoice: The tough-guy, packed-with-cheese uniform of mafioso Tony Soprano received a luxe touch on the Spring 2016 runways. There it was, in supple swathes of delicious suede at Loewe and Tommy Hilfiger. And those sliced-and-diced red track pants at Chloé? Consider us sold.

Whether you’re Britney Spears or a gum-snapping mall rat in the early aughts, it’s time to pull out that sassy cusp-of-the-millennium staple: the low-rise jean. The hip-hugging piece made a comeback in the closet of Vogue.com Market Editor and denim connoisseur Kelly Connor—as well as a place in our hearts.

Call shower slides the gateway piece that paved the way for other bad-taste–meets–good-taste duds. And sure, maybe the footwear choice is reminiscent of a jock college boyfriend who paired his grungy, lounge-y rubber sandals with socks, but they’re now back, bejeweled and logo-fied, making a splash everywhere from the runway to the street.

Oh, the monogram! The emblazoned names! Logomania took the catwalk by storm, seen on the runways of Vetements, Loewe, Moschino, and Louis Vuitton. After all, wearing your love for a label on your chest never gets old.

The 100 percent acrylic and 100 percent cheeky soccer (or in Britspeak, “football”) scarf is no longer only a stadium staple. For Fall 2015, Vetements gave the sportswear accessory a runway redo for its cult of cool kids.
