Have you ever wanted to channel both the sleek suaveness of 007 and the aesthetic of a young Russian delinquent at the same time? Apparently many people do, because the Traxedo exists—and it has been selling like hotcakes. 

First invented in 2013 by Irishman John Hughes and his friends, the Traxedo—a combination between a tracksuit and a tuxedo—was initially created as a kind of gag item at bachelor parties. Its popularity has skyrocketed since then, and the Traxedo is now selling in the U.S. (perhaps not coincidentally, the "Uncle Sam" version has been sold out for a while now). The suit comes in multiple versions, ranging from the classic black and white to the bright orange "Dutchman" to the hot pink "Flamingo." And these aren't just worn at bachelor parties anymore. Hughes stated, "One of our customers ran the Boston marathon in one and then got married straight after, still suited up." Check out the Traxedo in all its polyester glory below:

If your style goals of 2015 consist of telling people, "I came here to party, and I also value extreme comfort over personal dignity," the Traxedo can be yours for a mere $60. And while you're at it, make sure to pick up a mullet headband or two from their website.
