The Cut gives fashion forward advice
As we all know heather gray jersey is very important for Spring Summer 10 and Alexander Wang’s football uniform-inspired collection was nothing short of revolutionary. What to do with a guy who thinks sweatpants are not okay, even for lounging around the house!? The lovely editor of NY Mag’s The Cut gives incisive advice:
Also, this guy sounds like a total phony. You know if he were at home with swine flu he would not be curled up in front of Oprah wearing his Brooks Brothers slacks and his Tucker Blair turquoise polo. Okay, maybe he doesn’t wear sweats in this situation, but he probably wears something worse — like a lobster-print thermal onesie from Tucker Blair. If he lies to you about wearing lounging garments, think of what else he could be lying about. One day you might wake up to a text message from him on December 24 that’s all, “Sorry, I can’t come to Christmas at your parents’ house because I forgot this is the weekend of my Fire Island Nudist Club retreat in St. Barts.”

I must say i fall into the no sweats — ever — camp. Blue jeans, yes — frequently. And sweatshirts with cutesy sayings. And of course whale-print underwear (UNDER jeans, not as an outer garment) But no sweat pants. Not even when sick!!!!
But they’re fine on girls…and on others who like them. Chacun a son gout!!!

eeek! the thing is, sweatpants these days are not the heather gray fleece ones with drawstring elastic waistband and the dreaded cinched bottom that we have all come to know and HATE. they can be, ahem, made with thin modal-infused jersey made to drape beautifully and in flattering (read: ass-hugging) silhouettes! as one with deep hatred for wearing pants myself (skirts only!), i am intrigued!
