      If patrick kavanagh was writing poetry these days, he wouldn't have been writing "O stony grey soil of Monaghan", instead it would have been "O manky grey tracksuits of Ireland" :D


      I'd wonder how I failed so bad as a parent if my child decided to go down this road. i'd be sitting them down and asking why the have no self respect. Then carting them off to therapy!

      They're comfy, they're warm, they last ages. I wouldn't make a habit of wearing them outside but I have done the odd time. But now I found out some foreign teenagers found them funny I'm dying from all these fcuks I give

      Fashion today is an abomination to the human race, nobody knows how to dress smart anymore. With suits 10 sizes too small for men and women dressed like young boys, the fashion gurus need to up their game fast.

      when they saw the group's of them, At first they thought they were some type of reintegration back in to society project, for people with issues, being brought out for the day. When the realised it was fashion they were stunned, then hysterical with the laughter.

      One of them went and purchased a pair, and they were doing skits of gombeen Irish tracksuit wearers. It really tickled them.

      In Limerick you check to see if there are white socks - that's when you really know.

      isn't it great they can amuse themselves without having to hang round street corners or outside lidl causing trouble!
      I did offer to drop them off at the trolley bay in tescos to hang out, they declined.


      I must bring them limerick some time, so they can see the fashion there.

      I think so.

      I always wonder where they've got the money from for them - they actually aren't cheap.

      Wear them regularly. I actually don't mind the way they look. Maybe it looks a little scummy but I'm not a scumbag, I just like the way they look, they're comfy and pockets are a lot easier than jeans. If a few people judge you on that so be it. Also in my experience makes scumbags far less likely to start on you if you're in a dodgy area.

      always funny hearing fat/ugly people judge tracksuit wearers for being sloppy

      To be fair, there must be a tsunami of terror spreading through the manky tracksuit community now that the neckbeards have called their bluff.

      You call people posting on here neckbeards, yet you are here posting. Interesting internal conflict going on there.

      I had some foreign teenagers with me over the weekend and the laughs they got of the manky grey tracksuit trend. There was what's app pictures flying to thier friends at home on this fashion.

      People give out about buying school uniforms yet there seems to be no shortage of money for manky tracksuits.


      Is it a lack of mirrors or a lack of self respect that has caused an increase in this, ahem, 'fashion trend'?

      What do you wear Op?

      Have you a mirror in your house at all? If so do you look in it and think "yes! I look hot in this shapeless manky tracksuit?" - Serious question
