Track Tops: Ready for When the Sun Finally Clocks Off
Let's be honest... the British summer has clearly had a word with itself this year. Weeks of sunshine, soaring temperatures and enough sunscreen to keep half the country in business. We can't complain (well, not too much), but even the hottest days have one thing in common, eventually the sun dips, the breeze picks up and suddenly that T-shirt alone doesn't quite cut it.
That's where a proper track top earns its stripes.
From after-work pub gardens to late walks along the seafront or last-minute gigs, a track top is the layer that just works when the sun starts to dip. Light enough to shrug on without overheating, sharp enough to look intentional rather than thrown together.
Sergio Tacchini Dallas Track Top – Black & Light Lilac
Sergio Tacchini has been turning heads since the late '60s, blending sportswear with unmistakable Italian style. The Dallas Track Top keeps that tradition alive with its sharp black base, contrasting light lilac panels and clean, timeless lines.
It's the sort of jacket that works just as well over a plain tee on a warm evening as it does layered up later in the year. Smart enough for town, relaxed enough for the seaside – job done.
Fila Vintage Settanta 2 Track Top – Surf Spray, White & Fila Navy
Few track tops carry as much heritage as the legendary Fila Vintage Settanta. Worn by sporting icons and embraced by generations of style-conscious dressers, it's become a genuine wardrobe staple.
The fresh Surf Spray colourway is perfect for the current sunshine, while the lightweight construction makes it ideal for when the temperature finally starts behaving itself after sunset. Throw it on and you're instantly several notches cooler... metaphorically speaking, of course.
Trojan Records Raglan Taped Track Top – Rasta Black
Inspired by one of the most influential record labels in British music history, this Trojan Records track top mixes heritage with effortless everyday wear.
The raglan sleeves and signature taped detailing give it plenty of character, while the black colourway means it'll pair with just about anything in your wardrobe. Whether you're off to a festival, meeting mates or simply pretending you meant to stay out later than planned, this one has you covered.
Lambretta Championship Track Top – Navy & White
Lambretta and British casual style have gone hand in hand for decades, and the Championship Track Top continues that tradition perfectly.
Classic navy, crisp white detailing and clean retro styling make this an easy winner. It's ideal for those evenings when the blazing sunshine finally eases off, giving you just enough warmth without weighing you down.
One Wardrobe Staple, Endless Possibilities
A great track top is the layer you'll reach for when the barbecue carries on into the evening, when the sea breeze rolls in, or when someone suggests "just one more" after you've already mentally gone home.
With heritage brands including Sergio Tacchini, Fila Vintage, Trojan Records and Lambretta, our Track Tops Collection is packed with timeless styles that look just as good today as they did decades ago.
The heatwave might not be going anywhere just yet... but when the sun finally calls it a day, you'll be glad you've got a proper track top waiting by the door.
