One of the most unfortunate aspects of venturing forth into the public sphere is that it requires us to witness other people's unfortunate sartorial choices. I seem to recall Fran Leibowitz doing a whole riff once on the horror of "polka-dots" or t-shirts printed with pithy messages ("If we don't want to hear from you, what makes
you think we wish to hear from your shirt?"). I myself shudder at the sight of grown men wearing baseball caps turned backwards. How do we screw up the fortitude to leave our houses every day, given the barrage of visual abominations we are forced to contend with: flip-flops, tattoos, Scrillex haircuts... yoga pants?

Women who wear yoga pants in
public disgust me. I don't care how good it makes your ass look, you
still look like a lazy slob in them.

Oh no, women oppressing men with their bottoms yet again!
ReplyDeleteThis tattooed elder slut cat lady only ever leaves the house dressed in business casual attire, but she's now seriously reconsidering wearing the tightest, clingiest, most unflattering yoga pants and slovenly tee that she can find just to annoy any random red pillers who happen to be scrounging around out there.
ReplyDeleteTake that, Matt Forney.
My girlfriend loves her yoga pants, but they don't suit me. Black leggings + over-sized tunic is my "go-to" casual attire. Thank goodness I know have approximately a dozen identical pairs scattered around the house.
ReplyDeleteI meant "now," but of course you now that.
DeleteThis coming from a young man who dresses like a 75-year old that shops at Costco and always buys clothes two sizes too big because he thinks people won't notice his weight that way.
ReplyDeleteBlack leggings + over-sized tunic=the world's most comfortable outfit. Throw a scarf on and it's chic.
