Squid Game: causing a stir on Netflix and in the fashion world

Bringing back our long lost love for playground games and '70s tracksuits
Squid Games

The Netflix Original, Squid Game, has obsessively taken over our streaming devices while becoming the most popular topic of conversation among friends and family, whether you've watched it or not. This dystopian K-drama's dominance doesn't end there though, the minimalist retro fashion inspired by old children's books and vintage publications is slowly infiltrating our wardrobes too.

The '70s tracksuit aesthetic in the contrasting colours of red and green was part of the allure of the crime-thriller-sci-fi drama. The interest in white Vans and white vests, which were worn by all contestants, also peaked with the show. Just in time for Halloween, this simple yet statement-making gender-neutral costume has flooded the markets; add the eerie black mask and you have a winner.

The comfort of the easy-to-wear tracksuits will carry it beyond the limits of a Halloween costume and make it an everyday staple, especially for our work-from-home wardrobe.
