Top 5 Fashion Pet Peeves- #5: Athletic Wear Outside of Sessions

   If you work out at the gym or if you do yoga, you likely have a wardrobe with athletic wear in it. That’s cool, that makes sense. It also makes sense that when you are on your way to your place of sweaty movement, you would like to wear this athletic apparel to save on changing and whatnot. As a lazy person who has never been to a gym (besides the school kind, and even then I was barely in it ever), it makes sense to me to travel to your session wearing such attire.

     What doesn’t make sense to me is the amount of women, teens, and occasionally tweens out there who wear yoga pants for “fun.” I understand that they have been marketed, especially through word of mouth, that they make your butt look good. It makes sense that someone would want to wear pants that are universally attractive, but whatever happened to respecting your environment?

     I mean, if you wear these pants to school, you’re saying something about your attitude towards your studies, your teachers and your peers. I mean, as a lazy person, I understand the power your attire can have on how people perceive you.

     If you’re around the house, wear whatever you want. Go naked for all I care! There is, however, something to be said about the girls and women who wear yoga pants on a date…and yes, I will be saying what that “something to be said” is.

     You think it shows your date your sick butt curvature. It really shows your date that you decided not to dress up for him. To me, this goes back to respecting your environment, and in this case, your partner. Why not wear a sick pair of jeans or a nice skirt that shows off the curvature of your butt (if that’s what you’re going for)? Then pair that with a nice blouse instead of your expensive hoodie, and you look like a proper lady!

     Now, I've seen men do all of this too, and the same goes for them, but I find women do it more frequently. My theory is simple: don’t worry about over dressing, because if anything, it’ll be flattering. It will show your date how much you appreciate their company without ever having to say a word.
