Are we talking full on tracksuits or just the bottoms? I only wear the bottoms and just for when I'm exercising or in the house. That's fair enough I think.

And anyway, I wouldn't care if I saw other guys in tracksuit bottoms, they could be coming from training like me so I don't understand some of the initial judgement people get.

Suits look good though.

Tracksuits for anything other than sport = knackerwear.

Just the bottoms, wear them running or just floating around the house. So comfy...

A ridiculous amount of penis on display in track suits these days.

Well people would say to me 'Bieber called, he wants his wardrobe back' which is a fair comment, I'm just expressing my opinion.

That's fair enough but you seem to throw down on a lot of people for what they wear, but in dismissive way. As in holster, Abercrombie or whatever is not good enough and guys shouldn't be wearing them. I doubt a lot of guys care tbh.

I only do it because I hate the whole rugby mentality, I actually prefer it because it makes me seem more original with what I wear....

I wore tracksuit bottoms to the shop one day, but I had to run home and get changed quick, due to an overwhelming urge to loiter at every corner on the way! :pac:

Tracksuit bottoms while exercising and around the house. Occasionally at other times but try to wear nicer clothes with them so they don't look too slovenly.

What rugby mentality? If I was to wear holster or abercrombie clothes on a night out (no tracksuit/runners) would you still have a problem with that?

I'm just fucking with you it's not appealing to have your package more evident in them. Canterburys are bad for it though!

Yeah but then your legs get wet? And if your legs get wet what's the point in wearing trousers at all? Trousers are there to keep you dry.

Legs dry quicker than trousers. Long trousers are for warmth and it's usually warm enough for me to wear shorts for most of the year.

Most trouser fabrics don't have good waterproofing. Denim is particularly poor as once it gets wet it takes a long time to dry.

Maybe shorts aren't sartorially cool, but my legs feel cool.

Luckily, you were able to run quickly to change thanks to the lightweight fabric and loose fitting of the tracksuit bottoms.

Wouldn't wear them outside the apartment unless I have a game, I am training or heading to the gym.

WTF does that have to do with how items of clothing actually look?

I'll tell you - I'm nice like that - nothing.

Tracksuits are, with some minor exceptions (such as for those who exercise or need the tracksuits for work etc) the uniforms of the feckless and of those mostly worthless to society.

Bring back hanging.

Hello there.

Calm down, petal, and I'll tell you as succinctly as possible.

I was responding to a poster who described the tracksuit as the uniform of the common thug. It sort of reminded me of Chuck Stone's thread some time back (referenced above). I decided that if the tracksuit might be the uniform of the thug, then perhaps one ought consider the suit the uniform of the common crook.

Moving along, you sound sublimely intelligent ; what are you wearing?

Once I got my top hat and monocle back on, I was able to safely proceed to said shop for my pint of milk!

Fair enough. i just don't like the look of them

I wear tracksuits around the house a lot. Sometimes I even go down to the shop and buy a bag of cans in it! :eek:

Btw tracksuits are useless for bushing (drinking in a field). A stout pair of waterproof boots and a good ¾ length jacket with a pair of combats (for the utility of multiple pockets) is best.

Why, just this last Saturday we were drinking in a field, under the stars, with a fire blazing in an old barbecue (albeit on a camp site). Wasn't wearing a track suit though as that would be stupid.

Well - you're wrong, petal. I think you'll find that most crooks in Irish society are of the tracksuit brigade... and I'm wearing a robe.

Another thing is lads who wear football jerseys with jeans and tennis shoes lol they think they're dressing up heading to the local to spend their sunday lmao

*IN B4 BIEBER COMMENTS*

at home yes, maybe going out for the paper but that its it.

why is someone in shiny tracksuit a knacker and someone wearing cantos and rugger jersey respectable?

Close your legs petal, we can see your rigging.

yep it is all fine to degrade TS wearing, but what about

Captain Graphite

Wouldn't wear a full on tracksuit unless I was an athlete or something. But tracksuit bottoms and sweat pants are grand and comfy, so I do wear them sometimes (in or out of house, though not on a night out or anything)

I don't see the big deal with people wearing them. The clothes do not maketh the man etc. A scumbag in an Armani suit would still be a fúcking scumbag.

zcorpian88

Not out in public since I was searched by the guards one night when I was 14, they must have thought I had a lump of hash in my pocket or something. Every pair of jeans I had were in the wash so had to wear a tracksuit.

Aidric

Nope..immediately associate them with lower class scum.

pookiesboo

Why do scumbags wear tracksuits? Can they even spell gym? Surely if you wear leisure wear it would indicate that you go to a gym or a take an interest in sports or healthy pursuits but every scumbag I see that wears a tracksuit has that yellow jaundiced look or pushes a buggy with 5 or 6 crusty snotted nose kids hanging off her

CavanCrew

Yeah for sport and on occcasion to work, before I change into uniform, when you do 12 hour shifts and its dark when u get up and when u go home, fashion is not a top priority.

Yep, in fact wearing an Adidas Tracksuit right now :P . Seriously never understand the issues people have with them, I wear them as they are comfortable, I just find jeans etc far too uncomfortable, don't understand why people like wearing jeans either but that's for another topic!

Yes I often wear tracksuits. I don't see what the big deal is. I wear whatever is comfortable. I'm not going to wear something just because some snob thinks its in fashion.

One thing missing I would have added to the post was "severely freckled" just before snotted nose kids.Tracksuited scumbags always have really freckled children, more so than a normal child!

But that doesn't answer the question: what's wrong with that? People generally don't seem to care too much about the appearance of random members of the public, so why should they care about it when they're wearing a tracksuit, and not a t-shirt and jeans, which requires next to no effort.

af_thefragile

The thing I find funny about track suits is that all the Knacker/Scanger kids wear the cheap(er) Adidas/Nike tracks while the posh South Dublin kids all wear Abercrombie/Hollester tracks...

So the coarsest and the poshest members of the society both wear tracks everywhere!

michellie

Yea I do sometimes and shock shock I don't look like a knacker,skanger or scumbag!!

billyhead

I can't believe some of the ****e I am reading on this thread. If you want to wear tracksuits outside or are comfortable in them wear them. All this rubbish about fashion trends and stigmatising people in tracksuits as knackers etc is childish and stupid. I wear tracksuits regularly because there comfortable and would not stop wearing them because some eejit thinks I am a knacker or should follow some fashion trend

Daveysil15

Not all people who wear tracksuits are skangers. The Yakusa usually wear suits. Does that mean all Japanese businessmen are gangsters? Unless you're going around with combats and a balaclava who the feck cares?

pookiesboo

Remember when those Juicy Couture tracksuits were all the rage a few years back with celebrities and then the trend trickled down to chavs wearing them with chubby chavs having 'Juicy' stretched across their big behinds


* Note not all chavs are chubby and before ye get offended Im sure ye looked like Eva Longoria wearing them

xDramaxQueenx

The only thing worse than a chubby chav wedged into a pair of fake couture pants, and seeing the seams under severe pressure is seeing the chavs usually pushing a buggy, in a pair of velour pants, and a furry jacket, looking like she needs a few mugs of complan and a good sunday dinner.
