chándal

Chándal is a Spanish term referring to a two-piece set of clothing, typically consisting of trousers and a matching jacket or sweatshirt. This type of athletic wear, often made from comfortable and flexible materials like cotton, polyester, or blends, gained significant popularity as casual and leisure attire.

Historically, chándales were primarily associated with sports and physical activities, providing ease of movement and comfort for athletes. However, their relaxed style and practicality led to their adoption into everyday fashion. Over time, designs evolved from simple, functional pieces to more fashionable and stylish options, incorporating various colors, patterns, and embellishments.

The term "chándal" is widely used in Spanish-speaking countries. In other parts of the world, similar outfits are known by various names, such as tracksuits, sweatsuits, or joggers. The versatility of the chándal allows it to be worn for a range of occasions, from lounging at home and running errands to more casual social gatherings. Its enduring appeal lies in its combination of comfort, convenience, and evolving fashion trends.
