Track-inspired look

The tracksuit isn't new, but how people are styling it this summer definitely is.

"Here, we are mixing and matching these Adidas loose track pants with a bright, summer crochet trim tank top from Boden. Then, we added jelly kitten heel sandals from Steve Madden at Macy's. Jelly sandals are an "if you know, you know" trend of the summer and these kitten heel ones are a personal favorite," Holmes said.
