Fashion Trends 2019 --- Ath Leisure

I have to say, I've completely embraced this new ath leisure trend. First off this shit is comfortable as fuck, it's versatile and convenient. I wore a track suit the other day. I went to the coffee shop, to work, picked up my wife and then went to the tennis court to play. Did it all in the same outfit.

I used to be a blue jeans dude but fuck that shit and frankly I think that industry is fucked if this trend really sticks. I feel like denim really scrapes your hands when you put your hands in the pockets but not track suit pants. Also, wearing a track suit looks fucking great.

You in the mob or something?

I hear that was all scorcese. I don’t think they actually started that look.

a few things..

1. I have no idea what "ath lesure" is.
2. I suspect I'm better off because of that.
3. Denim "scrapes your hands"? brah...

oh, and.. don't call what you're wearing an "Outfit".

Ath Leisure hasn’t made it to Michigan yet? You guys are going to be so happy when it starts. I wore track sweat pants the other day. Sorry but blue jeans pockets are very abbressive at the top. I never noticed this until I had soft silky track pants and the track sweat pants.

well sure, when your jeans are 46" x 22", they're gonna fit badly.

Your skin must be very delicate. I’m sorry.

Wear a track suit for one week and then go back to the jeans. When you go for the keys or wallet you'll be like damn this shit is scraping my hands.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Federal Hill in Providence or the Russian mafia in Brighton Beach, those guys love their track suits. Meanwhile, Chechens and others from old Easter bloc countries live in their their shiny puffy parkas.

So, just put a douchy name on it...

Like the walmart-i-ans are wearing "pajam kazh" and it's ok?

dude, don't wear a fucking sweatsuit out of the house.. what is the matter with you.

Levi's 511 is the way to go.

Get outta here with the abrasive blue jean pockets nonsense, but I'll cosign track pants being dope.

Holy shit this is a historic moment we sort of found common ground

I bet this guy wears track pants.

Yeah, and look what a sweet life it's clearly gotten him.

Track pants are the official pants of ballers.

if by "ballers" you mean "I caught some disease and my balls are on fire", then I can see where track pants could provide comfort.

Also, lets face it Levi's screwed it up big time. They closed all of their American plants, tweaked all of their fits to make it confusing as hell to shop for a pair of pants and every time you go to Kohls or whatever all their paints have fake whiskering or ugly distressing on them. Track pants are here to take their market share.

track pant wearers misspell simple words like "here."

that's right folks, track pants make you stupid. don't be stupid.

Bob, I feel like you're not giving this guy his due. He's got chains, a gun, a bottle of Belvedere, and what appears to be at least $60 cash. Where I come from, that's called #winning.

Just checking. I bet you would like a nice pair of Ecco sandals though... I really have no idea where I am going with this.

Look I get it. There was a point and time I couldn't imagine anything but Levi's. Well that was until I started wearing track suits and track sweat pants. I get compliments on this stuff too. People dig it.

My comment had nothing to do with your fashion choices. It just needed to be said.

“Levi’s has had a rocky financial decade, thanks to bets that are too safe, stagnant styles and the rise of athletic fashion, and experts say the brand has struggled to figure out its identity.”

Another problem for Levi’s is their fit system. They tweak the fits from slim to baggy to whatever. You go to the store put on a pair and it fits completely differently than a pair you bought a few years back. It’s like uh oh I gotta figure out this entire number system again. It’s too confusing.

This is true. You can't just re-purchase the favorite pair of jean you have. You need to always "re-shop" with Levis. Even things like waist and length change between styles and over time.

I'm thinking of giving in and just getting wranglers. I am almost 50 after all.
