Talk about a blast from the past. Juicy Couture tracksuits, your go-to middle school ensemble, have become pieces of history. They're so outdated, they're being featured in a museums as part of an exhibit. Feel old yet?
According to Refinery 29, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London will include a pink Juicy Couture tracksuit in its Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear exhibit. Opening April 16, the exhibit will focus on underwear design from the 18th century to today. As seen on the musuem's website, the exhibit will "address the practicalities of underwear and its role in the fashionable wardrobe whilst highlighting its sensual, sexual appeal." Pieces in the exhibit range from long underwear worn by Queen Victoria's mother to a sheer Liza Bruce dress that Kate Moss wore. The Juicy Couture tracksuit made the cut to show how underwear and pajamas eventually became acceptable to wear in public.
Maybe this is society's subtle way of telling us it's time to let go of our beloved tracksuits once and for all.
