As if most men aren't challenged enough when it comes to being fashion-conscious and stylish...some nit-wit company called, Betabrand, comes along and dumps something called Dress-Pant Sweatpants for men into the foray.
DRESSY SWEATPANTS?
Please.
This is the SAME company you can thank for Pajama Jeans, so there you go.
For the purpose of discussion, I offer you this regular pair of Sweats (which are bad enough).
Multiple sources have reported this, but according to Time News...Dress-Pant Sweatpants have made the scene and are exlusively for men (no woman in her right mind would WEAR them).
The French terry fabric does sound dreamy and they have pockets, zippers (no need to discuss the need for THOSE) and belt loops.
AND, they can be yours for the bargain price of $90.00.
If you are super excited about this for yourself or your special guy, flap your sweatsocks toward Chris Lindland, who unleased this nuttiness in 2010.
Not that it particularly matters, but Betabrand, an offbeat online clothier, is based in San Francisco (naturally) and claims to release a couple of new products per week (they really shouldn't).
One last disturbing claim...an Earl Gray Terry Blazer could be in the works (Betabrand, please let this be a rumor).
There is NO RAVE for this.
Would you wear or encourage your guy to wear these?
PLEASE ENTER YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS AND WE WILL DISCUSS!
Follow on Twitter, PalmBBarkerHowl (we'll follow you back).
Stay tuned for more RANTS!
I've written down three different comments on dress for men and deleted each one. Because, I don't want Dress-Sweat pants being worn except when you are jogging or at home.
ReplyDeleteNow saying that, I also know my guy and he would probably try to wear them to church!! That's the Sunday I sit on the other side of the room.
Sweatpants and dressy should NEVER be used in the same sentence.
ReplyDeleteI agree these things should ONLY be worn for exercise, yard work (cool weather) and being a couch-slouch (I prefer that to potato).
B. Hoffman, your guy sounds pretty cool, but I would be right there with ya-on the other side of the church. Wait, that doesn't sound very religious, does it? Well, it is what is !
Correct and religious or not.....other side of the room.
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh...out loud!!
DeleteI'm sorry, but if you wearing clothes to be dressy, shouldn't you be doing your best NOT to sweat? Most of us even use this thing called a deodorant (most days, anyway) so that doesn't happen.
ReplyDeleteThe ENTIRE idea of 'dressy' sweatpants is absurd.
DeleteWhen they come out with dress hoodies I may have some interest, but not sweatpants. That's just a waste of money.
ReplyDelete'In this economy'...$90.00 for 'dressy' sweatpants is idiotic.
DeleteAgree with Gerry - dressy and sweat just don't go together! I just have no words for $90 dressy sweat pants...or maybe there are just not many that don't have explicatives describing how crazy this is!
ReplyDeleteSabrina, so you don't have a RAVE for the (insert your personal favorite explicative here) sweat pants? Think we are all on the same page here!! Thanks for commenting.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell
ReplyDeleteand gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely
off topic but I had to tell someone!

take a large amount of work? I am brand new to running a blog however I
