Julia Morris’ surprising tracky pants confession

When it comes to trackpants, comedian Julia Morris has an embarrassing confession.

From Chanel cardigans and Herve Leger cocktail dresses through to tracksuits and Hunter wellingtons, Julia’s Morris’ wardrobe is a mixed fashion bag of classic meets comfort.

Citing Elizabeth Taylor as a style muse and Dolce & Gabbana as a dream designer, it seems Julia is partial to a “glamour” moment where her Logies dresses take pride of place in her sartorial space … alongside her dreamy sneaker collection of course … because she’s all about the fashion balance.

How would you describe your personal style?

I have a whisper of groove factor with a tailored edge.

Who are your style icons?

Early Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren and always Vivienne Westwood.

What’s the oldest thing in your wardrobe?

A Chanel cardigan that I bought when I first got paid on Full Frontal. It was a massive splurge but one I am still wearing 35 years later. My very own vintage.

What are your favourite brands?

Joey the Label, Decjuba, Camilla and when I win the lottery it will be Dolce and Gabbana the whole way.

Have you ever made a style faux pas?

I have lived through many decades … so I have ample examples of living the faux pas dream. The good news is I felt great on the day. When I worked in Club Med, I remember wearing a hat to dinner. Oh dear.

What’s the most you have ever spent on an outfit?

I remember being in New York and buying a Herve Leger dress that made me feel like my life was complete. It was about $2000 at the time … which was all my spending money but I went for it.

What is the most surprising thing in your wardrobe?

The amount of tracksuits I have. I have gathered them like Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds over the past two years.

Top three wardrobe must-haves?

The perfect fitting T-shirt bra. Increasingly a pair of Hunter wellies. A gown mixed in with your day-to-day clothes … just to look at.

What is the most sentimental item in your wardrobe and why?

I still have many of my gowns I wore to the Logies. I look at them all the time.

Each gown representing a super fun night in my professional life.

Not to mention they are handmade and just heavenly.

What would you buy if money was no object?

I would build a wardrobe that would be a cross between Cher’s electronically filed wardrobe from Clueless and Carrie’s (Bradshaw) wardrobe in Heaven on 5th.

Summer or winter fashion?

I am a winter girl. I love summer fashion but I hate being cold.

Denim or dresses?

Dresses all the way. It is a daily battle for the tracksuit to take a back seat and treat myself to an outing in a dress. The elastic waist often wins the battle.

Minimalist or sneakers?

I am a mad sneakers fiend. Every outfit I have has a matching pair of sneakers.

Is there anything from your wardrobe you’ve regretted throwing out?

Having moved so many times, I am a great culler. That always means there have been loads of gems go to the next owner. I like the idea of clothes living many lives.

How many pairs of shoes do you own?

I would not even know where to begin counting.
