My sister recently returned home from a work trip to South Africa and brought back a few gifts for me, including a not so indigenous pair of track pants. While I was at first flummoxed by this souvenir, I am now grateful as I have been running around in these Topshop-via-Capetown pants non-stop. And as fate would have it, I am not alone. The peeps in Paris are preening around in track pants by (above, last pic). I could also do daily laps in these pairs by , , and .

And they go with a matching silk-trimmed , creating what could be the coolest suit (pictured above) I've seen in a while. While I'd love to splurge on the whole shebang, I'm thinking something derivative will do, like this pajama-inspired that will make me feel both cool and comfy.

This cape-like bell-sleeved blouse is all the holiday drama I need!

In my book, stripes and sequins make everything better, including this sweater, suitable for swanky dinner parties and the like.
