It seems we have become a nation obsessed with fittness, gyms are everywhere, we live in our sweatpants. Gone are the days where one had to take the time to pick out an outfit before popping to the shops, now we throw on the trackies and off we go. All well and good when its the comfort factor we crave rather than the style, but when it turns on its head and fashion enters the gym it seems we have gone mad.
Why pay more than the gym membership price for a pair of trackie bums? How is this logical? Surely the sole purpose for gym wear is for it to get sweaty, stretched and pushed as far as your body is, so how would one justify spending £70 on tracksuit bottoms. They may be made of higher quality fabrics and stitch quality but i doubt very much this is the reason for the choice, rather the designer name is chosen.
Even supermarkets produce good quality sports wear, long lasting, well structured and affordable. Where do designer trackie wears actually exercise, because surely they cannot be seen to get sweaty in public, that would ruin the image! Do they have home gyms to sculpt the body and use the gym as a catwalk? The gym is to create the body not flaunt it, feel the burn and get sweaty. Get fashion out of the gym and onto the catwalk.
In a world obsessed with what is seen on the outside is it really so surprising to see designer butts in their Armarni joggers. At the beginning of the year I was in London. In Selfridges I saw designer clothes and wait for this nappies, for infants....and....designer wear for dogs...
