Tracksuits and fashion crimes

Confucius say

Hope this is the right thread. I'd just like to discuss the tracksuit, and why it's so prevalent here in Ireland (Dublin anyway) on our streets. It seems a large portion of the population go around in those grey cloth tracksuit bottoms, sometimes with the matching top to go with it. They kind of look like dull Teletubbies to me. Sometimes I see men in their 40s dressed like this, out shopping etc. Why would you go around looking like that?!
Also - skinny tracksuit bottoms. Whoever saw that coming? This seems to be the trouser of choice for todays yoof. Skinny tracksuit bottoms... every time I see gangs of yoof in these I think I'm seeing things, you'd have got bleedin' battered in my day for wearing them.

Apparently the androgynous tracksuit is back en vogue

Juicy Couture is no more however, that was another odd one...

It's all down to personal preference though isn't it?

Considering there are so many fashion trends around it's easy to avoid this one if you don't like it.

I am one of the tracksuit wearers of Ireland. I find my tracksuits to be alot more comfortable than jeans etc. If it's a nice day I will put on a pair of shorts and a tshirt.

I would also class myself as quite the opposite of a stereotypical tracksuit wearer and that I'm 23 and self employed with quite a good job.

So to sum it up I wear a tracksuit for comfort when I'm out and about and not to impress anyone.

Most people I know generally wear tracksuits because they fund them comfortable!
