    I didn't realise that I had the ultimate knacker outfit until I accidentally wore it out once. Blue tracksuit bottoms (white stripe) with a green and yellow stripy jumper. When I saw myself in the mirror I put my hands in my pockets to protect my money before I realised it was me.

    Why do people care so much what people wear? You shouldn't base someone purely on their appearance.

    Of course suit. If there wasn't a stigma attached to tracksuit, you still wear a suit no matter what.

    What's your point?

    meeting your birds parents for the first time ... what would you wear ?


    first date ?


    meeting friends in public, new friends, hanging about in the town etc.

    "appearances mean everything" - is this gone out the window now ?

    in all situations i would not be in any kind of a tracksuit nor would any of my friends be.

    The 1st two things you mentioned are formal situations, you'd never wear a tracksuit regardless, isn't formal.

    The last thing you said was rubbish, In my first year of college I made a load of new friends who wore tracksuits from Monaghan, they are all decent folk.

    It's grand that you don't like wearing them, I just think it's a bit much to dismiss someone purely on what they're wearing.

    i bet ur 1 of those complete bellends who wear 'cons' :rolleyes:
    I wear 'cons'...does that automatically make me a bellend? Oh and I guess wearing combats would make me a prick too?

    ITT: Sweeping Generalisations...woohoo!:rolleyes:

    For what it's worth, most of the people I see wearing tracksuits happen to be knackers/scum yeah...only because I happen to live in south inner city Dublin...a haven for the fu**ers :( In reality, the only people who should be wearing them would be people participating in sport, or going to work out...

    Because you are in a tracksuit doesn't automatically make you a skanger and if you are in a suit doesn't make an upstanding citizen.
    Of course you have situations where you have to dress a certain way. But generally I wouldn't care about being judged on a peice of clothing. Each to their own.

    if they are worn on a regular basis then yes it will give of some kind of bad image unless its sports wear or something of the kind but like i said in parts of dublin where people wear tracksuits of a particular type 7 days a week, 365 days a year then it raises questions.

    Thank you, somebody makes sense, I wear tracksuit pants everyday of the year, even in college, the only time I wear jeans would be if I were heading to a pub or club, the reason I wear them is because they are comfortable, I can have a kick aroud whenever I want or puck a sliotar whenever I want, they are a lot less hassle than any other type of pants, now I'm not from Dublin so I don't see the perception of how everyone who wears tracksuits are scumbags.

    Yep, coming from Finglas, I knew plenty of decent folk who wore them. Some give the whole tracksuit wearing a folk bad name. Now living in Dublin 15, there plenty of people wearing tracksuits in Castleknock. Same issue occurs in Castleknock.

    I'll judge someone when I talk to them, not by what they wear.

    It doesn't matter that it's Dublin, It's any built up area. Cork, Meath, Limerick etc.

    Just lol at everyone thinking tracksuits are only acceptable when doing sports or exercise.


    Fair enough if they were them to work but i see alot of people were tracksuits during the day.

    And the scumbag/tracksuit insult is bull****. . Scumbags will look like scumbags no matter what they are wearing.

    There are a lot of the brethren out there wearing suits that are robbing you blind too only the chances are they have an office and a desk.

    Alot of these cnuts have added to the social problems that affect our society everyday , problems that manifest in the tracksuit wearing skangers you will find in every town in Ireland.
