Maybe if you just swap sweatpants for jeans in a regular look but not true in all situations. I've seen them work and i've had situations where my own outfit or outfit idea would be enhanced by the right sweats in the right material/color/fit/drape.

Not sure why people like to be so vehemently opposed to things based on either archaic rules or the fact that unstylish people wear a similar item in a completely different way without any thought into it whatsoever. I see all kinds of awful outfits with dark jeans or with boat shoes or with chucks, etc... but that doesn't mean that a stylish person can't make those items work. If you are not stylish, creative, adventurous or don't have the rest of the wardrobe or desire to make certain items or looks work then that's your call. Let the other guys figure out how to make stuff look good so in a year or two you can follow them

Word to yo momma, most people are conflating all sweatpants into one group because of their lack of knowledge of nice ones that exist, it's like a sheep thing where they just follow other people's opposition against them. They're just soft pants in nice soft fabrics.

Can people who don't like the idea already stfu? I'm liking the wh ones which seem like the only alternative to lanvins that I wanted, dries did a velvet one that kuni gosurface kopped awhile back off yoox. Anymore recs before I get the wh?

I've seen some really nice ann d ones awhile back while shopping around. Nice fabric and a cool fit

I've seen these W+H sweats, james perse sweats, rrl sweats

no, **** 'em

they might be trying, they're not succeeding.

imo, making nice sweatpants is what schmoove and **** tried to do making "casual sneaker dress shoes" and bombed miserably. I'm not at all saying designers shouldn't give everything a shot, or try to break the rules or whatnot... I'm just saying good try, too bad you didn't succeed, try again in a couple of years if you want to test fate again.

Even nicelynice manages to look like an idiot when he wears sweats, and his fits are usually quite baller.

tbqh I think it's a combination of the material just being unsightly and there being nothing that really works well on the top or the bottom with them. Only once those things are developed will sweatpants designers have any of my attention.

I thought nicelynice's fit involving the W+H sweats, RO leather, and RO trainers looked better than the rigid raw denim, AA tee, and desert boot garbage that frequently receives a "pass" on this forum. Check out the denim thread on this forum to see what I'm talking about-- very boring, awkward, and uninspired stuff.

You realize that most people even on this forum said this about skinny jeans like 5 years ago right? Not even like april77 joey superskin tight but like dior 19cm skinny. Not to mention that most the country feels that way about new standards. You just have justified and come to terms with skinny jeans. Can't say that sweats are different "well, because they're sweats and dumb" because people still think "because those jeans are for girls and gays not for real men". Nowadays people feel differently because jcrew, gq, how to make it in america, kanye, other internet resources, etc... have made it acceptable mainstream wise for guys to care about clothing and wear slim clothing. This forum is full of closed minded, boring, unstylish people who can barely dress themselves without a jcrew catalog or waywt copycatting who make wild claims like that and it doesn't make sense. Saying sweats isn't your thing is one thing but acting like they'll never look good no matter the context is a bit silly. After all, how different are they from normal trousers? What about knit trousers? Or a drapey (yet slim) soft trouser? It's easy to say sweats vs. jeans but what about when the line starts blurring? There is so much in the pant spectrum between APC New Standard and juicy sweats. People should loosen up. They'll probably enjoy clothing/fashion/style more btw, if you can't see that my posts in here are about a general clothing midset rather than purely sweatpants, that's unfortunate

I know. It's too difficult when there are seemingly infinite avenues for style/fashion/aesthetic/etc... I agree that it'd be easier if things were more cut and dry which is why i'm guessing people started inventing this world where there are "timeless" pieces that are instantly stylish and they'll never have to adjust or grow as humans as long as they blindly buy those pieces at age 20 and keep till 60. Despite what people think there are a variety of looks on SF (and sufu, sz, sartorialist, other blogs) and people exploring new avenues with every coming season. I for one enjoy seeing various nooks and crannys explored and made stylish
