I ripped my going out trackpants too

I've recently started wearing going out trackpants and I can appreciate a rip would be frustrating. But it's just a matter of time before anyone under 40 rejects them as an acceptable thing to wear.

I'm under 40 and have 'nice' trackies and home trackies. Who doesn't deem trackies acceptable, I'll fight them

There is no such thing as 'nice' trackies. They have no place outside the home once you pass the age of about 15.

Very wrong! You can get some nice fitting ones, worn with sneakers/hoodie and it looks fine for going the shops, mates houses, a cafe etc. if they're loose, they're the ones for home

I would suggest nice trackies are no less acceptable than thongs/flip flops!

I couldn't care less what clothes people are wearing nor could I care less about what others think about what I am wearing.

Athleisure is on trend you guys

Also grey sweats are like a well tailored suit it’s a whole thing

I was waiting for someone to pick up on that sentence, and I'm stunned that the first response was positive!

They’re an absolute THIRST TRAP

Thongs/flip flops are also unacceptable, you're making my case for me.

 

[the_interloper]

Is it medical intervention, rather than age, that differentiates "falling over" and "having a fall"?

I think it's usually age, once they get old they can drop over very easily, gets scary.

My mum wasn't old (67 when she died) but when in the hospital she was getting frail from the cancer treatment and hit the deck one night. I saw her in the morning and she looked like she'd gone the distance with Tyson!

Was kind of worried that others walking past thought I might have been the perpetrator, awkward.

I wear thongs as much as possible in summer!

Going to the shops in them after work now, if I don't get any female attention I'm calling this a lie rather than me not being as handsome as the_interloper who gets lots of attention every day... or so we're told

I learnt what a "thirst trap" is from a younger female work colleague, I try to avoid doing this, trackies and a metal or boxing tshirt usually does the trick I find.

Haven't worn my recently purchased 60 dollar suit yet, I'm sure that will create a thirst trap!

$60 suit and a heavy spray of Lynx Africa will see them queuing around the corner I assume

I think it’s because balance gets a bit worse, ankle and knee joints become less strong, reactions get a bit slower. If there’s also an illness like your mother’s, that just adds another difficulty. We need to not overestimate our ability to do things, don’t try to keep up with the youngies out of misplaced pride.

Hold onto handrails, use a non-slip mat in the shower, don’t be too proud to accept assistance. Be mindful and realistic about what you can do.

My knees crack every time I bend down. I'm 36 ffs.

Worked a treat for 10 years in my experience.

Ill often slip up the shops quickly in trackies, ugg boots and a beanie. Come at me elitist flogs

 

[Cruyff14]

Trackies are great. If they're in acceptable condition there is no issue in doing the grocery shopping in them.

I am 31 and wear trackies when going to the shops for groceries.

When one is buying a bachelors handbag (BBQ chicken from coles/woolies), Lettuce, Milk and Bread, there is no nead for pants with flys or belt holes.

I am there on a purpose.
