How are people still complaining about someone wearing sweatpants/athleisure in 2024

“NOOOO YOU HAVE TO PUT ON A THREE PIECE SUIT TO BUY A GROCERIES!!!”

Covid proved there's no social fabric so I'm not obligated to pretend there is

Broke: wearing sweats in public
Woke: wearing the same sweats in public for multiple days in a row because you are thriving
- 40% of the mass of a good pair of sweatpants should be microbial
  
  Thanks most horrific thing I've read this morning

These are the same people who get mad if you put your elbows on the table or sit down to eat with a hat on. I wish my life was so simple that I had the energy to give things like that a second thought.
- One of my dad's wives was a Brit and I learned about the headwear thing from her. I never encountered it before. She pulled a face when I come to the dinner table wearing a baseball cap. She didn't even make a sentence. She just said "Your cap..." and she got even more annoyed I didn't understand what she meant. I took it off because I didn't want to get in an argument. I just wanted to eat.
  I never thought of her as my step-mother. I always thought of her as my dad's wife.

- I’ve been yelled at for leaning forward to drink from a straw instead of picking the cup up and bringing it to my mouth. Like how about you take your hand and shove it up your ass
- Getting taken advantage of by your boss for minimum wage while playing royalty

classism, racism, the usual suspects
- Really? I always thought of it as an upper class white girl thing.
  
  It’s racism because when they do it no one cares, but when poc do it we’re considered trashy.

I surprised myself by how much respect I lost for a friend when they were disgusted by someone for wearing street clothes at the gym.
Who the fuck gives a shit, Merin?
- I draw the line at jeans on the beach
  
  Depends on the beach. You go to a cold rainy pacific northwest Beach you're gonna want those jeans.
- Street clothes? Like jeans while deadlifting or something lol. Seems efficient to me. You work out in your dirty work clothes and don’t need to fill extra space with gym clothes.

I'm more concerned about the people wearing their actual pajamas places. Like nooooooooo you're going to get your bed sheets dirty!
- I'm constantly fascinated by people who wear clothing to bed
  
  gotta wash sheets more often if you sleep naked. also harder to get out of bed in the morning when it's cold. i've started wearing pajamas
  
  I'm too cheap to turn the heat up
  
  I feel naked without clothes
  
  My idea of a bad time
- I sleep naked. the pajamas are for lounging around or doing a quick grocery store run
- who said anything about the bedsheets touching the pajamas? if i have them on why would i need to get below the sheets?

Weird freaks like Donald Trump Jr. probably wear a suit to a grocery store.
- No way he ever goes to a grocery store
- Only two prominent people I know who wear a suit to everything is John List and Jordan Peterson.
  
  And that guy from the tv. Barney Rubble of something
  
  But Jordan Peterson only wears weird suits, too. I don't even get it.

- Hot
- Wearing sweatpants at the office rn it's great

I rarely wear anything other than a tshirt and jeans tbh. Summer is vying to change that though
- T-shirt + cargo shorts.
  
  My uniform! For outside of the house at least. Jammy shorts for inside time.

I'm going to go grocery shopping dressed like a Napoleonic cavalier after church on Sunday and make disapproving faces at all the boomers wearing suits.
- unironically based
  Death to America

maybe the someone in question is a fuckhead Zionist senator who mocks protestors and they are latching onto dress as an admittedly misguided attack vector

the only correct outfit is a collared shirt and dress pants
less than that? you're poor
more than that? overdressed, why do you want attention so bad?
- Business casual, the centrism of FASHion.

Isn’t athleisure wear one of the worst offenders for microplastics in clothing?
- Not exactly the fault of consumers. All the shit we wear is toxically made and toxically disposed of. The recommendation I read was to not use dry detergent with synthetic fibers since it is more abrasive and more gets into the water.

I haven't heard any complaints

The same people still think that proper etiquette means five different spoons and forks for a single meal
- That's literal bourgeois behaviour, does anyone even do that these days, even the bourgeoisie?
  
  I've seen it at "fancy" academic conferences.
- I kind of like having a salad fork sometimes but that's more of a sensory thing lol

I wear the same shirt and same sweat pants for the whole week and they’re black so the food and other stains aren’t visible

it still looks like fucking shit?
- Clothing should in a way express your feelings and the way you see yourself relating to the world no? It's called honesty bucko
  
  Do we really want to support that behavior though? All the libs and Republicans will come out in white sheets.
  
  Sure and if you're keen on expressing yourself through undignified, consumerist fast fashion you honestly should stay home.

Who says this, who are you specifically mad at for whining about grocery outfits?
- People over the age of 50 or with a net worth of $150,240 who stumble onto posts about fashion and think their opinions on etiquette are valuable
- Also more relevantly, If you look on Zionist subs you’ll see a lot of them calling Palestinians savages because… they wear adidas and sandals while resisting genocide.
  
  Tbf is that not usually more them shrieking about it making them illegitimate combatants rather than it being a fashion cop statement?
