Someone knocks at your door. You answer wearing sweatpants.

You are obviously announcing to the world --

If anybody has a problem with my sweat pants, I'll gladly take a moment to pull them down, so that you can kiss my ass.

at home I go for comfort. If I am in the house, I am either wearing jeans or sweats (long or short depending on the season).

The nice thing about working out at home, is that I don't have to wear much at all.

I come up to answer the door while working out, I put on shorts and a towel.

Otherwise, never been a fashionista and don't plan to start now. In house, I wear sweats from November to April. They're warm.

I rarely wear sweats, only in the winter. And my workouts are either outdoors or in the gym, no room in my house. But hey, you never know.

And I'm very proud of the fact I work out every day, hard. I would answer the door dripping with sweat if I had to.

No guts, no glory.

I'm cold all the time and pudgy around the middle, and there's nobody here to impress. Sweatpants are my friend from October to April.

I prefer shorts. It doesn't get cold enough here for sweatpants.

Maybe flannel pajama pants

because I sort of do. I dress up the three days I go to teach. The rest of the time, I'm parked at my desk in my office at home, working away.

people where sweatpants all of the time

it never occurred to me to judge them for it. i am not a fan of sweats because they get all stretched out and bunch up. but i were loose comfy jeans, or other comfy loose fitting pantalones from natural fabrics. just not cotton knits.
