    I live in a rough part of Blanchardstown and every teenager wears them. It's disgusting. It's a combination of being dragged up, having no class and peer pressure that makes them dress so horribly. Can't wait to move.

    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

    I don't go out to tesco to look 'hot' ffs.

    I detect a little bit of insecure self-consciousness there! :D

    Don't be shy, we won't ALL laugh at you .......... go on, since you started a thread about it, what do you wear casually day-to-day? ;)

    The greatest fashion faux pas being committed by the plain people of Ireland at the moment is the continued obsession with bootcut jeans. They are usually paired with a cheap shirt worn a size too large, often in a vain attempt to disguise a gut that took many hours at the bar to cultivate.

    I was leaving a wonderful new restaurant called Pickle on Camden Street when I was there two weeks ago. Extraordinary food and service. No sooner had we walked out the door than we were facing the sight of large groups of drunk Irishmen stumbling down the street. All bootcut, buzzcut and bullshít.

    If you really can't think of another choice of clothing than a manky tracksuit, Google will help you out.

    I dont have access to Google on my Massey Ferguson washing machine. Perhaps you could help me out seeing as you are enlightened about the appropriate attire for the modern teenager?

    It's easy to tell the difference between someone who wears a tracksuit for work or just going to the gym and a skanger wearing one, there's no mistaking the thick head of a skanger.

    So teenagers should be wearing cardigans and moccasins daily? I'm sorry for raining on this utopia but this isn't the ski lodges with moose heads hanging off the wall and whiskey drinking over Tchaikovsky.

    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.

    Yeah because people hanging around acting the maggot doesn't happen anywhere else except in Ireland.

    Is it just grey tracksuit bottoms that offend you so much or are the other colours "manky" too?

    I love my style and that website makes me hurl. No.. TBH They're isn't really anything wrong with grey tracksuits. And you can tell the difference between a person working out and a "Scumbag"

    Also why do people want said baddies to stop wearing them, it's what makes them so identifiable and avoidable...

    It's just comfy. Probably the most convenient thing to wear on a normal day to day basis.

    Not just an Irish trend either, you see this in a lot of countries in Europe and probably further afar. I don't see why it bothers anyone. If the wearer is happy, then all's good. This isn't the late 1800s where everyone's expected to have a top hat and cane, or carry a ladies umbrella.

    I'm as far removed from a skanger as can be and old enough to not give a **** about what I wear when not going to the pub etc. I have tracksuit pants just like these (colour varies) and afaic it's all about comfort and they're goddamn comfortable. Tbh, I feel a little claustrophobic when I see people wearing skin tight jeans. Also, wtf is your idea of manky, I can think of much worse colours than light grey.

    I've never being a tracksuit person. I can't really think the last time I wore them.
    I know people of all professions that wear them tough and being honest it doesn't bother me.
    I sort of got skinny jeans on men when they became popular even tough I never really saw any one look good in them.
    I don't get skinny trackauits tough. They just seem really tight and uncomfortable which is the exact opposite of what a tracksuit is meant to be in my opinion!

    Grey trackies, tucked into white socks with the drugs you're selling concealed in your blue runners, a blue soft shell type jacket with a small knife in the pocket and a navy Nike baseball cap, walking around with both hands on your Harry hickey/town halls.

    I personally love the way these scrotes wear the same gear because you can spot them a mile away.

    Glazers Out!
