Hey!

So as you all know, my preferred clothing of choice is tracksuits due to the unmatched level of comfort they provide. Anyhow today I had to make a urgent supermarket run as I had a craving for some cereal, now typically I would have just left in my tracksuit, but today when leaving I looked in my wardrobe and felt a little bad that some of my leather jackets had barely seen any wear. So I took the decision to wear some nice jeans, belt, leather jacket etc. My attire looked exemplary no doubt, and when I first put it on and looked in the mirror it felt like I was looking at perfection, the fit of the jacket was snug, conforming to every angle of my physique, anyhow I left the house and drove to the supermarket shortly after.

When walking around the supermarket I immediately received many glances of admiration from all directions, I always received compliments in the past when wearing the particular jacket that formed part of my attire so it was nothing new. Shortly after as I made my way to the cereal isle I started to think, why am I wearing these clothes? Who am I trying to impress? Why does anyone wear jeans? Sure these clothes are very nice, people were no doubt in awe, but I fundamentally was not comfortable. So as soon as I got home I took them off and got changed back in to my tracksuit.

Just thought I would share this story for those of you who have still not found the way, the way of comfort, the way of the tracksuit. Don't conform to societal pressure and feel forced to wear jeans, don't fear the judgement! Wearing a tracksuit does not make you a chav.

Any questions feel free to ask
 
Amen brother. I can totally relate to this. Question is though how does one don a tracksuit and not look like a chav. I feel like there is a fine line between looking like the stereotype and dressing for comfort. Anyone any good advice on how to pull of wearing a tracksuit with some form of class still left intact? I realise that some may consider that statement alone an oxymoron.
Keep your aesthetic tight, clean clothes, nothing overly garish. Keep it subtle. Be well spoken and mannered, don't mean mug people. That is all there is to it.
