Retro Sportswear: Step into Sporting History


Buying Guides


Retro sports labels are particularly hot this season, with the eighties and nineties the decades of choice

We like nothing more than when sportswear hits the style pages. And so it's come to pass this spring with 80s tennis wear and 90s active wear and labels (hello again, Fila, long time no wear) getting the nod. We've curated some of the finest examples of this trend – jackets, T-shirts, polos, trainers and sweatshirts – from brands such as Ellesse, K-Way, K-Swiss, Champion and Adidas. Don the garb and think of happier times when you were younger (applies to all except the Euro '96 England Away “strip” – we had to throw our original version away… couldn't get the tear stains out).
