Just that really. Would you go out with a man in tracksuits?

My boyfriend looks amazing when he's lounging around in his tracksuit.

sexnotgender · 23/06/2018 12:16

Definitely not.

ClashCityRocker · 23/06/2018 12:19

Depends if he was a decent person who I clicked with.

I'm assuming he's not someone who would turn up to a formal dinner or something in a tracksuit.

But no, I wouldn't rule someone out on the basis that they've chosen comfort over style.

Would I go out in a date with someone whilst they were wearing a tracksuit? No

Would I date someone who owns and wears a tracksuit whilst on his way to the gym or lounging around the house? Sure. Why not?

BoxsetsAndPopcorn · 23/06/2018 12:21

No, not unless he was taking part in some form of sport or exercise.

Namechangedname · 23/06/2018 12:22

Some men can look hot in them, but they have that 'look', i.e, they'd look good in a binbag. But, personally, as a general rule, I do think you have to be of a certain age to wear tracksuits.

But do you mean as daywear or lounging? And do you mean the whole 'suit' or just joggers/jacket?

My partner lives in tracksuits and I think he looks gorgeous

TheMaddHugger · 23/06/2018 12:24

I need more context. Where is this man wearing trackies? Lounging at home, no problem.
At a restaurant... yes problem

Mine too Grin

Amanduh · 23/06/2018 12:25

I’d probably judge him by you know, him. And let him dress himself.

lilypotter88 · 23/06/2018 12:31

Turn down someone who could be the love of your life based solely on what they're wearing? No.

ALemonyPea · 23/06/2018 12:34
Hmm

Are we talking about 90s she’ll suit type tracksuits, or cotton tracksuit bottoms and a tshirt?

DH mostly wears tracksuit bottoms and tshirts, and is well sexy.

It’s a bit shallow to not want to date someone purely because of the clothing they’re wearing.

Namechangedname · 23/06/2018 12:36

I will just say..been on a date with this guy a few times and he turned up on a date in bright green shorts..he did text before and warn me Grin

But I liked it that he didn't give a shit. And he is still lovely 😊

cloudyweewee · 23/06/2018 12:38

I'm put off by tracksuits as I've seen too many young men waliking around wearing jogging bottomes with both hands down the front.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/06/2018 12:41

I saw 4 young men yesterday , one only wearing trackie bums (with obligatory bumcrack)and trainers , one in a onesie . This was out at the shops.
I think I need to get out more then this is what I see when I do!

Urgh , grim, hope my DD won;t pick HalfNakedMan or OnesieBloke as her OH !

Gran22 · 23/06/2018 12:48

I live near a football ground. The young men who train there look great in their tracksuits, shorts etc. On match days, the fans rarely look great in footie shirts stretched over ballooning beer bellies, and trackie bottoms resting somewhere underneath. Sportswear looks ok on people who look capable of being sporty. IMO.

CoughLaughFart · 23/06/2018 13:11

I don’t find them quite as offensive as a football top worn with three-quarter cargos. That is the contraceptive of all outfits.

Depends whether it's them from goldie looking chain wearing it

KermitsLoveChild · 23/06/2018 13:25

Those grey joggers made out of sweatshirt material give me the heave. You can see everything jiggling about Envy

chipsandgin · 23/06/2018 13:30

Well if he looked like this then yes..

Not a fan of men in trackies. My dh has a faded band t-shirt and ripped jean thing going on when he's not working which isn't great eitherHmm

tripYouOut · 23/06/2018 13:39

God no! I only judge people on their clothes. I expect everyone to dress like me.

Men are awful. I always feel the need to comment on what they're wearing, what their bodies are like and if they should be allowed in public with their clothing of choice.
