    They are my choice of clothing most of the time as they are the most comfortable .But i was on the bus back from town earlier and i heard a few guys basically calling anyone that wears tracksuits as knackers. These lads were dressed very metrosexual and had a very annoying D4 accent

    I was then thinking to myself how in the hell could these eejits judge people by how they look and what they wear when it looked as though these guys just raided jedwards closet!

    Only three types of people wear tracksuits

    1) Knick-knacks
    2) Athletes / Sportspeople
    3) The mafia guys who choose not to wear suits.

    No, I just take a bit of interest in my appearance.

    Nothing special mind you, I just like not looking like I am going to start hassling people at the Luas stop for change.

    So you're giving out about people who judge others on what they wear and judging people on what they wear at the same time?

    Classic AH material really.

    Nice job.

    Sportsmen/women

    Go back to spraying on your fake tan and plucking your eyebrows

    Tracksuit wearers are just a step on the evolutionary chain above women who ware pajamas out shopping.

    I don't particularly care what you choose to wear, OP, that's your personal choice.

    However, wearing a tracksuit every day, unless you're a P.E. teacher, can give the impression that you are sloppy, don't mind being identified with ruffians (for want of a better word), or don't care to look presentable.

    Rightly or wrongly, it's just a social custom.

    Personally I don't care very much. I think the people most vocal in being anti-tracksuits probably try to over-compensate for something that may be lacking in their own social position.

    :confused: he didn't judge them. they said people who wear tracksuits are knackers, he said they were dressed in a metrosexual style. how is that a judgement?

    I sometimes wear tracksuits, and I'm far from a knacker. I really don't see what the big deal is about them. You can tell a knacker easy enough, it's not just down to the tracksuit.

    ah yes, I did miss the rest of that.

    Still though, the OP isn't on here complaining about people wearing skinny jeans or whatever it is that metrosexuals wear. of course he's going to be defensive. the response isn't the most mature, but it's natural.

    posh snobs vs knackers

    it's like the american civil war.

    "which side are you on"

    I think Bob Dylan wrote a song about this once.

    depends really on the person and the type of tracksuit, anyone young can pull them off. wearing a full mckenzie tracksuit is nackery but wearing some hoodie with adidas original bottoms isnt knackery
