Do you wear tracksuits?

Novella

Nope, I never wear tracksuits. Even in the gym I wear running leggings and some sort of dri-fit top. Each to their own though!

Cheap?? Maybe the knock-offs!! Plenty of tracksuits going for well over the 150 euro mark. Dunno bout you man but i dont class that as cheap..

Some tracksuits can go for over a grand.I have to laugh at people who suggest that people wear tracksuits because there cheap they were originally desirable because they were expensive it was to show off.I grew up on a border area between rich and poor and ill use this next term lightly real "g's" would never buy anything fake the whole point of buying a 400 lacoste trackie is to brag about how much you paid for it.Much the same why Nike air max are the most popular runner because a custom pair can cost up to 300

The amount of insecurity and snobbery in this thread is unbelievable.

People, adults!, choosing not to wear certain clothes because of what anonymous members of the public might think of them.

People using the word "chav" without irony. How can anyone take such a person seriously?

I've never worn a nike, reebok, etc tracksuit. The last time I wore a tracksuit I was in secondary school and it was my school's offical tracksuit. I only own a few pairs of cotton jogging bottoms I wear only to the gym. Tracksuits are not fashion!

This sentence doesn't make sense to me. What is fashion?

It's what's currently considered to be in vogue. Hot off the shelves etc.

I'd rather wear a tracksuit than 90% of the shite they sell in Topman :rolleyes:

Skinny jeans, chinos etc....the state of them.

For the record I have a couple of pairs of trackie ends, wear them in winter round the house (usually wear shorts at home) or if I am running to the shop for milk etc

What's wrong with chinos? I'm wearing them now in my semi-formal attire I force myself to wear at work. Better than slacks I suppose :eek:

That's it.

I wear them for exercise
otherwise no

Never liked chinos and especially the ones that are considered fashion now, skinny at the end and you have to wear white 'plimsoles' that look like they cost about €5 in Penneys ffs!

No, they're not like that. They fit comfortably. I just hate slacks like they all wear in this office. So I wear chinos or jeans and a shirt, not tucked in. And usually unshaven. And hungover. I don't know why they employ me.

I have a few pairs of trackies. They're the Gabor Kiraly style cotton types that are elastciated at the end. Wear them if I'm around the house or heading to the cinema or whatever. Can't beat them tbh.

As opposed to whatever happens to be fashionable for a few months? That's what I don't really get about x Ellie x's distinction between tracksuits and fashion: it seems to me like it's based on the idea that fashion(able clothes) look good, which I don't think is necessarily always true.

I also think it's quite possible that tracksuits could become fashionable and therefore somewhat popular. They might even be fashionable right now, for all I know.

HalloweenJack

Nothing wrong with tracksuits, they are actually a hell of a lot warmer than jeans and definitely needed in this country.

If you're judging someone on how they dress, you're the one with the problem.

Shenshen

When I'm exercising, or around the house.
I would not ever want to be seen wearing them on any other occasion, ever.

+1 because I hate Topman. I don't know why they try to dress you up as a metrosexual with their tight jeans and camp tshirts. You can get a few things there but yeah, definitely that's only 10%. And I could do without them too tbh

Daveysil15

It's all subjective. No matter what you wear there's always going to be somebody who doesn't like it. Anyway, fashion trends change so regularly its difficult to keep up.

Thats a trend I'd love to see take off!:D

Never have before but I got my first pair of fatman pants recently and haven't taken them off since, if wearing them makes me a knacker then call me Missus Knacker. I drank a can while wearing them too, felt good. All you naysayers should try it then you'll see maybe stop looking down at the 'knackers' a bit and see they're on to something.

Tracksuits are damn comfy, very sad to be so concerned about what yourself and others look like all the time.

I guess some people just feel comfortable looking like a knacker. Others have a keen sense of self respect and fashion.

All the time i'd like to see someone rockclimb in skinny jeans

You can still wear other things besides skinny jeans and chinos, like normal jeans and other good quality branded clothes and not be a knacker. Topman stuff is very.. Distinct I'll say. For the most part, it's not my thing. That doesn't mean you haven't "a keen sense of fashion" or any self respect if you don't wear stuff like that.

Tracksuits have their place. If your involved in sport or working out. After that I always associate them with laziness and a general low class look.
How any adult thinks they'll be taken seriously wearing track suits is beyond me.
All I think is;
Grow up.
Get dressed.
Please don't rob me because your obviously a scumbag.

The words "sense" and "fashion" really don't belong so close together, and putting "self respect" between them seems like a bit of a joke.

It depends on where you're wearing them. It's not like I'd wear them to a job interview. Why do I need people to take me seriously if I'm just going to my local shop or hanging around the house?

billyhead

The people chastising others fro wearing tracksuits are probaly the like who wear those skinny jeans, pink shirts, ugg boots. As long as your not walking around stark naked nobody should give a **** what people wear. If you want to and like wearing tracksuits wear them if you don't the don't but calling people low class and stereotyping them for wearing them is childish and stupid. I love wearing tracksuits because of the sporty and comfortable feel and the freedom of movement they provide compared to jeans or trousers and couldn't give a toss if other people have negative opinions of me for wearing them

bobin fudge

i wear tracksuits everyday unless im in work

I go to the gym most nights and cant be arsed to wear jeans or trousers even at the weekend

Same with jeans, originally designed as workwear should it be considered unusual for people to wear them off the building site? In ways I cannot understand how a plain pair of navy or black tracksuit bottoms are considered inappropriate but yet ripped/skinny etc type jeans are accepted. I'm 24 from a "middle class" area and wear tracksuits and runners all the time (Air Max too, they last ages and out of all the ones I've tried are the most comfortable).
To add to the opposite side of the arguement I cannot really take the likes of Bertie, Cowen, Enda, and any of the other politicians "suited up" seriously. Same goes for the bankers etc...

I've to wear job issued ones in work for certain events.

Don't wear tracksuits, can't stand the aforementioned skinny jeans either. Loose fitting jeans for me.

Only in the gym/training/running.


As it should be.

ultra_other

Usually when I am running and when I me headding to/from running place

kerry4sam

I don't wear a full tracksuit, only have purchased trackie pants.

Tbh their are days when I couldn't give too hoots what the fashion moguls say about wearing trackie pants. Their are days I like wearing them with a vest-top and hoodie over then if I am cold.

I wear them jogging in Autumn & Winter months ; on those 'I couldn't give too hoots what anyone thinks' days and then when going to the swimming-pool. I normally only wear shorts to and from the gym, unless it is seriously cold.

BOHtox

I wear them around the house the odd time. They're quite comfortable. I only have one. I wouldn't be seen dead in it outside. Oh dear god no
