Don't call it a comeback.
Whether you’re the groom, the best man, or simply “security,” 90s style tracksuits are teh hotness in stylish Eastern Bloc wedding attire. Cousin Dimitri knows about it:
In Soviet Russia, track pants wear you. Then there’s this guy:
Black and white keeps it classy…
Head-to-toe, he’s as serious about his love for Adidas as he is his love for the bride.
Aww, such a romantic! Who is this Pelé? He’s gotta be sponsored by Adidas, unless he just hit an outlet mall on the way to his wedding. Can anyone put a name to this suited-up groom? For now, I shall refer to him as Nikolai Tracksuitskovich.

He probably couldn’t afford a tux after that damn dress!
He is just ready to run… away.
Well i guess they balance each other out: she’s dressed to the nines and he’s dressed for a workout. Btw? Her dress is just as atrocious as his 70s adidas track suit.
When I get married, I will wear tear-away pants with my tuxedo.
I wish that my parents would allow me to get married in similar get-up. Or, even better, in my pyjamas.
I’m with Rosalie… jammies would be really comfie to get married in. Then you don’t have to worry about wearing high-healed shoes, and you are ready for your honeymoon before you leave the reception. All set!!
Also, Mrs. Tracksuitovich looks pregnant, so it’s really a 1-2 punch of fabulosity!
I lived in Russia for a while.
Guy in first picture indeed does not seem to know better – the faces of the people and the shabby “civic records” building in the background both point to a Russian equivalent of a redneck wedding.
The guy in the rest of pictures is probably making an inside joke about his past as a tracksuit-wearing “gansta”. The guy looks too “smart”, the setting is too opulent, and there are suited-up people in the background.
@Rosalie
I went to prom with a guy who had a female friend in our ‘etnourage’ who wore silk jammies to prom. Believde it or not, it was quite well done.
What really caught me first was the top picture, as the bride towers above the whole party and either due to the reflection on the pavement or the hemline, she really looks like she’s hovering. Which… honestly, who doesn’t want to do that? Almost, but not quite cancels out the track suit… and mom(?)’s white pocket lined leather jacket. Does she really need that much help finding the pockets and sleeve cuffs? (I’m not a huge fan of dramatic trimming.)
I laughed out loud (yes, literally “lol”) when I saw this, especially “Nikolai Tracksuitovich” and his bride. I’m a Russian Major, and in my mind, this couples seems to have asked themselves “what does the world think about Russia right now? Giant outdated opulence and drug-dealing gangster athletes? Sounds like a wedding theme to me”.
Is it just me or, in the top photo has the girl second from the left stolen Emma Watson’s face? …or maybe that is her. Damn, that’d be just terrible.
