tracksuits....us it possible to wear without looking a chav?
Discussion
I was thinking about this aswell.
I wear trackies a lot as I play Rugby and they're comfy for going to training/games etc BUT I do wear them around the house or when I nip down to the shops.
As someone else said it can depend what ones your wearing - mine are always Canterbury ones but I do wear Air Max with them.
I'm a suit/shirt/tie man during work hours and its nice to wear comfy clothes.
If I'm going into town,out I would wear jeans.

+1Literally the first thing I do when I get home every day is change into tracksuit bottoms and a T-shirt/hoody. It's a total relief to be in something soft and comfortable!
I know a couple of mates who will get home from the office and then spend the following couple of hours still in their trousers/shirt/tie whilst doing things around the house... It totally baffles me.
Jeans: Also one of the most uncomfortable and inflexible items of clothing ever made. I also remove a pair of jeans as soon as I get in the house. I cannot understand anyone who lounges about the house in jeans.
I will wear tracksuit bottoms for anything in and around the home but I feel a bit 'scruffy' if I nip to the supermarket with them on.
I wear trackies pretty much every day when I get home from work. If I'm in the gym/exercising somewhat, then they're useful, otherwise they're just very comfortable.
I have no problems with going out wearing tracksuits. While I wouldn't go for dinner or go to a pub wearing trackies, I don't see a need to dress up to do my weekly shop at Tesco.
I don't care how people judge me for wearing what I want to wear when I'm just going out to do my errands.

Yes, I would say acceptable however it depends how it is worn. If the top and bottom halves match then it's probably a no-go (especially if it's one of those Adidas outfits with the stripes) however for example, a dark blue hoody with a pair of grey jogging bottoms is fine. There musn't be any garish logos and the more plain a piece, the better.
Overall, a sports luxe style is very much acceptable in public in 2015 - especially given it's often more about the way you act whilst wearing an outfit than the outfit itself.

Latest pair of jeans I bought are so comfy! A little bigger than I need Levi's and really soft!!I will wear tracksuit bottoms for anything in and around the home but I feel a bit 'scruffy' if I nip to the supermarket with them on.

Used to find it a pain in the arse finding jeans that were comfy, so rather than wear them all the time i just have a couple of pairs for going out in and for everything else there is trackies or dickies redhawks.

Actually, the whole concept of 'lounging about the house' is a bit chav in itself no? Especially when combined with sports clothing.

Tracky's are a big no no if actual sport is not involved, tend to wear lounge pants and a t in the evenings when chilling at home.
