There will be many, like myself, probably older formers who think Joggers are just a complete no go, regardless and should never we worn (unless actually participating in sports). Then there will be others, probably younger who see them as acceptable leisure wear if they are a particular style/brand/price. And of course a couple of Chavs who don't even understand the dilemma. I'm not naming names. Sportswear has become far more fashionable over the past couple of years to wear in "smarter" situations. Sporty trainers in bars and clubs is pretty commonplace now. I'd say it's perfectly acceptable to wear a smarter jogger in social situations up to a point. Like I said going to a casual setting like cinema, pub, casual food etc. You wouldn't wear them "out" though, and I doubt many places would let you in wearing them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sid4ever Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Surely of more concern is the health of @mjmooney given how @sidcow's avatar has changed so much overnight from a healthy badminton player. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Designer1 Posted May 4, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted May 4, 2022 I wear joggers/tracksuit bottoms every day at home. I'm not going to sit working all day or watching TV wearing a pair of jeans, that's just **** daft. I've also popped to the shop around the corner in tracksuit bottoms occasionally. As long as they aren't knackered, ripped or stained I don't see the problem. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 (edited) I’ll wear smarter/fitted joggers to the shops and running errands, but not to the cinema, a bar/pub or a restaurant. Baggy ones are for the sofa only. Jeans I’d wear for anything but weddings and funerals, I think. I’m also perfectly comfortable wearing jeans around the house. My whateverishouldcallhernow used to complain about that, for some reason. Jeans are as comfortable as anything, really.

I know you can get comfortable jeans, but they're not going to be as relaxing to wear at home as a pair of loose fitting tracksuit/jogging bottoms surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
