Sweatpants are the fashion equivalent of heroine. It’s a dark abyss disguised as the physical manifestation of comfort. You start off watching Game of Thrones reruns in them, and before you know it, you’ve convinced yourself that they’re shabby-chic enough for date night. I fell into said abyss once upon a time and ever since my rehabilitation, I’ve gone cold turkey. If I see a pair of sweatpants I turn my head and walk away.
At first glance, I put joggers into the same category as the sweatpant. I refused to be deceived into believing they looked both chic and served the comfort factor. However, after much thought, I finally saw joggers for what they truly were- the sweatpants’ more sophisticated younger sister who refused to live in its shadows. So sweatpants lovers, it’s time to celebrate. Here’s to the pant that gently hugs our thighs during our ice-cream eating, romcom watching breakup and later accompanies us to da club to make bad decisions. Let’s have it for the joggers!
