I know someone who has a pair of sweatpants he wears, saggy and all, makes him look like he's wearing nappies. Ace! Maybe he is?

Bring back the MC Hammer trousers, as comfortable as sweat pants with a sexy sheen. Everyone should wear them but me.

McAllister: "Lard ho! 'Tis a good sign; Homer's unfastened the top button
on his pants."
Akira: "Uh no, he's been walking around like that since Thanksgiving."
McAllister: "I'm surprised he doesn't just give it up and go for sweatpants."
Akira: "He says the crotch wears out too fast."
McAllister: "Yarr! That's going to replace the whale in my nightmares."

Kudos. This is the funniest thread I've ever had the pleasure to lurk in on ElIXOR.

fourteen years pass...

im wearing them at home right now, not in public, while eating a worcestershire sauce snack mix, and i think i'm having an age-related epiphany because they've never felt so soothing.

Saw a guy in a robe on the street the other morning
And what’s with people wearing their indoor slippers to get coffee from the corner in the morning

the thing... one of the many things... about that mesmerising photo is why is his goddam shirt *tucked in*.

My Japanese ex-pat friend keeps posting FB links to articles about how dangerous and unsanitary wearing your shoes indoors can be, so slippers to the shop down the street would make her insane.

Stepping over a small stream of dog piss on the sidewalk making its way slowly down to the curb. Ah city life

Such timing

Yes, fancy sweatpants are a thing, and they might be the answer to the eternal question of what to wear to #wework https://t.co/4CPMS5DP2k

my extreme fitness lifestyle requires me to wear sweatpants at all times, I never know when I might need to run some intervals

I guess it was a similarly big deal when people started wearing jeans in public

Defend the indefensible
Sweatpants apocalypse

Oh the days when we used to wear hard pants every day.
