Haha, I'm wearing black sweatpants right now on the bus to visit my niece. So comfy! Never gonna give it up. Feels like I'm wearing nothing at all.

there is no sartorial freedom

 

[family_guy]

Hate seeing them in public like when going to Walmart. You clearly didn't just come from the gym so stop dressing like you do. I especially dislike the ones that don't fit right so you see a slight partial ass crack as well as their love handles hanging out at the sides.

 

[Kyoufu]

Sweatpants outside your house unless you're going to or returning from exercising are signs you don't respect yourself anymore.

Wearing sweatpants means I don't respect myself? Explain how that works please.

 

[GorillaJu]

I'm more offended by the idea that sweatpants fall under the definition of "sartorial"

 

[eso76]

Wut, no i think they do a nice job detailing a girl's ass if they're not too large.
I like them.

 

[terrisus]

^ Pretty much agree with everything here. I started wearing sweatpants all the time about 20 years ago because they feel so much more comfortable and nicer/smoother than jeans. If it wasn't for GAF, I wouldn't have known that wearing sweatpants is apparently frowned upon... Not like anything would change anyway because sweatpants are too comfortable for me to give up. I care more about my comfort than how society views my appearance so unless I find jeans that magically feel better than sweatpants it won't change anytime soon.

And I agree completely with this.


I mean, I wear khakis or dress pants for work when I have to.
But, I'm not going out of my way to wear them otherwise.

And, denim jeans are just about the most uncomfortable clothing ever made.

 

[Zombine]

Sweatpants are a deal breaker now? I love them. Not only does it mean that your SO is comfortable with you, there is nothing hotter than hanging out at home and you catch those curves as they walk around the house in them.

 

[Shanlei91]

Haven't sweatpants been replaced by yoga pants or am I just going crazy?

They definitely have. Eva probably knows this since image searching "eva mendes sweatpants" gives images of her in yoga pants.

 

[PhantomHound]

Sweatpants shaming.

 

[Mammoth Jones]

I personally rediscovered sweatpants last year having completely forgotten about them since fifth grade.

And they're awesome. Very convenient. I got tired of having to get my jeans, iron my jeans just to look somewhat presentable when running mundane errands.

I don't think people are referring to yoga pants in this thread when they talk about sweatpants. We're talking full on 80's style baggy sweatpants.

They seem to work pretty well for Bill Belichick.

Bill Belicheck hasn't given up life. He has just given up on following NFL rules.

I've been working at home for 6 years now so my entire wardrobe consists of sweat clothes. I do have 2 pairs of jeans, 2 pairs of dress pants, and a few nice shirts for when I do need to leave the house and look nice though.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

This is the stereotypical sweatpants look Eva is talking about.

Here's my girl, Britney, rocking some.

That's not rocking them. That's looking like shit in them.

Sweatpants are lazy pants. No care pants. An indication that you want to live like a slob while wearing them. A prolonged or frequent wearing of them is a sign of laziness.

The blogosphere clickbait outrage machine working in overdrive.

I love how every article is like "Haha, we know it's a joke but we're going to treat this like it's some horrible slant against all you poor hardworking moms out there."

 

[Not]

Sweatpants are hot as fuck. And even if they weren't, they'd still be comfortable as fuck. If I can walk around in athletic shorts, my wife can walk around in fucking sweatpants. Fuck.

Truth.

Then again...

The blogosphere clickbait outrage machine working in overdrive.

I love how every article is like "Haha, we know it's a joke but we're going to treat this like it's some horrible slant against all you poor hardworking moms out there."

I (somewhat) work in media. That and "Twitter journalism" (read: embedding a bunch of Twitter quotes and passing them as a news piece) are going to make me do something I'll surely regret.

You can keep saying that all your want, but it's nothing more than a personal opinion/judgment.

Seriously, I wish my wife wore sweatpants.

How do you see curves in baggy sweatpants? I'm guessing we're talking about some real BBW if you can see curves.

Dude. Bro.

Nike Tech Fleece.

Best sweatpants evar.

Next pair I get I need to size down for a more fitted look, yo.

Spoiler

Uniqlo's sweat pants are also a great alternative for a lot less.

Spoiler

Edit: my wife doesn't mind me wearing them on the weekends and weekday evenings. Word.

 

[Funky Papa]

There are worse things that sweatpants, though.

The absolute worst.

My girlfriends wears them around home and I relentlessly give her shit for that.

I don't care how comfy they are, that's the definition of unsightly. Those things are literally offensive to my eyes.

Those are kind of badass.

OTOH, sweatpants are no good.

Thank God my wife doesn't wear those. My wife wears actual yoga pants at home. She'll wear the super tight ones from time to time but she likes the normal yoga pants

Milk in your coffee is a sign that you don't respect yourself anymore >.>

 

[Meier]

Where does this notion that wearing sweatpants outside of the house = giving up on life come from anyway?

Because it projects the image of looking like a schlub. If you're completely uncaring about looking like a schlub, then you've "given up on life." I understand where she's coming from although I don't necessarily agree with it. The Brittany Spears image (literally and figuratively) someone posted is what she's referencing.

That's not helping the case.

 

[feel]

Meh they're comfy, let your loved ones be comfy in the privacy of their own homes.

And when they are are kinda tight around your girl's booty and you are presented with that glorious booty giggle as she walks around..

 

[grumble]

Sweatpantia: the condition of rocking one's sweatpants, of being comfortable, of accepting there are bigger worries in life. Characterized by the manifestation of attitudes along the what-me-worry / straight-up-rebellion spectrum. Prognosis - who gives a shit.

Yeah who cares about looking good! I should drop showering and shaving and wearing fresh unwrinkled clothes too, it's overrated.

 

[industrian]

I've worn sweatpants nearly every day for the last 2-3 years. That includes working in an office.

"the case" in this situation was that the post you quoted to go off on your tangent mentioned nothing about yoga pants.

 

[Chainsawkitten]

Ah, "respect yourself", the go-to call of judgmental douchebags trying to pass themselves off as not being judgmental douchebags. It's just because they care!

 

[terrisus]

Yeah who cares about looking good! I should drop showering and shaving and wearing fresh unwrinkled clothes too, it's overrated.

Yeah who cares about being comfortable! I should wrap myself in tin foil and Saran wrap to preserve an appropriate figure throughout the day, being comfortable is overrated.

 

[xenist]

Wearing sweatpants means I don't respect myself? Explain how that works please.

You make the same effort to make yourself presentable for other people as you do for watching TV alone. That means you either:

a) Are too busy to spend ten seconds to put on proper pants. I find this unlikely.
b) Are too lazy to spend ten seconds to put on proper pants. I find this unlikely.
c) Don't care at all about the image you present to the world. So you're either a self actualized ubermensch or you have given up on yourself.

Meh some sweat pants are hot but i'll take business pants any time. Tight, comfy, good squeezing action..mmm

 

[evilromero]

Because they look tacky, cheap, slobbish and like the person just rolled out of bed. Explained.

 

[xMaxie77]

Are you saying Drake lied this whole time?

Wearing sweatpants means I don't respect myself? Explain how that works please.

I'm with you on this one Kyoufu. As someone who works in a corporate setting 9-5, 5 days a week, hitting the gym and trying to take care of myself as best as I can, wearing sweats on my downtime is as respectable as it gets!

 

[Not]

Why are people fighting?

Is it because for some infuriating reason looking nice and being comfortable are mutually exclusive in our society?

Oh.

 

[illadelph]

Sweatpants are kinda hot tho

Some girls look really good in sweatpants

or maybe I'm just always horny as fuck

 

[damien1928]

Its a joke GAF, maybe time to go outside.
