How old is to old for a tracksuit

[jonamv8]

They're comfy, far comfier than jeans. After work and getting home the prospect of putting my jeans on is not appealing but a soft tracksuit :-)

Depends on at what age you start looking like Jimmy Savile.

The last time I met my dad for a pint, we were both in tracksuits I'm early 30's and he's early 60's.

Nothing wrong with a tracksuit trouser, or indeed the so called sweatpant in the privacy of one's own home.

Agreed. I am working from home and wearing sweatpants as I type this...

Key is to avoid shell suits, multi-colours and huge logos.

I haven't worn one since I was a kid.

12. Matching colour joggers and a hoody imo screams chav/council.

A blue hoodie, with grey joggers doesn't seem as bad though?

[RizzoTheRat]

I wear them if I'm hanging around outside for a while before or after a run, but don't understand why else anyone would want to wear them. The "they're comfortable for lounging around at home in" argument seems strange to me, that's why I have trousers.

In your own house, there isn't a too old.

Outside in public? Anybody over double digits of age!

About 14? I own one pair of tracksuit bottoms which get used when I exercise and it's too cold for shorts but I'd never dream of wearing them to the shops or out and about. Horrible things.

I don't get the comfort thing. I wear jeans on a weekend and take them off when I go to bed. I don't own a pair of uncomfortable jeans. My other half is different. She often gets changed into "comfy" clothes/PJ's as early as 7pm if she knows she's not leaving the house. Then she has to faff on putting her clothes back on when she realises she forgot to pop to her mothers or needs some milk from the shops.

there is no age at which a tracksuit is acceptable outside of a sporting arena.

I'm on a train to Manchester right now, collecting a car and driving back to the South Coast. I'm in Adidas jogging bottoms and think that's perfectly acceptable for a long, tiring day when you just want to be comfortable!

I'm 31.

[RizzoTheRat]

But I can't help wondering why you have other trousers that aren't comfortable?

I thought it was the preserve of women in the name of vanity. Skin tight jeans which look good but need to come off within seconds of entereing the house, pointy shoes which have other women cooing over but need to be removed as soon as a taxi arrives, etc. I don't own any shoes or clothes that are uncomfortable. I'm a bloke!

[Blue Oval84]

Jeans aren't "uncomfortable", it's just that joggers are much more comfortable.

I also don't own trousers other than as workwear (and of course a couple of suits suitable for weddings/funerals/interviews). When not at work it's jeans or joggers.

[Superhoop]

Joggers, no issue they're comfortable...

A tracksuit - 1983

[Mr Gearchange]

About 12 if you plan on leaving the house wearing it.

It's not how old, it's how fat
