Tracksuit nation

SLUSK · 22-10-2009 08:28AM #1

When I came to Ireland I noticed that your sense of fashion left alot to be desired. Huge amounts of people were tracksuits. Sometimes i even see whole families wearing tracksuits. Why do so many people wear tracksuits?

Comfort, laziness, washability, affordability, no dress sense, skangers, etc...
One or more of the above - take your pick depending on that you believe - and I suspect you think already!

I'm not wearing a track suit. In fact, I'm not wearing anything.

What are you wearing?

What country do you come from? Just, you know, so we can make generalisations about the fashion sense where you come from.

Wearing Tracksuits makes it easier to Hop peoples back garden fences, Inject heroin, Shop lift, run from the guards, can still be worn while pregnant... Just makes good sense

Exactly what I was thinking when watching the Stephen Gately funeral. I thought it was product placement for Nike!

Used to live in Dublin (thank God I don't live there anymore). Regularly saw women walking around in pyjamas in the middle of the day, wtf. Definitely not a good look.

No. The OP is literally pointing out that "Huge amounts of people were tracksuits" and he's absolutely correct.

I myself existed as a tracksuit for a brief period in the nineties.

So. Many. Athletes.

If Ben Stiller had been wearing a tracksuit instead of a pants in 'There's Something About Mary', he could have avoided that nasty zipper incident. Just goes to show.

Ye i know,i was in this place this morning where i work out and they were just everywhere...Its a pandemic and it looked like they where all training for some sort of invasion:D

mega man · 22-10-2009 10:31AM

students have to be the worst for manky tracksuits.
the male student, in his fear of being mistaken for a skanger wears a ridiculous combination of a tracksuit which resmbles something a woman would wear (no offence)...

London 2012- in case there are any leftover grants going spare.
