I Finally Bought a Pair of Sweats
Posted on 18. Nov, 2009 by Trish in Family Life
I have not owned a pair of sweatpants since jr high when it was required for PE class. I hated the elastic at the bottom, so I have avoided them ever since.
The other day I was at Target, however, and saw they had Hanes sweats for under $7 and randomly looked at pair of pants. They didn’t have the elastic anymore! Yeah, I have no idea how long they have made them like this, but I was excited to find this wonderful piece of information. I promptly bought two pairs so now I don’t have to wear my jeans all the time.
I do have a pair of black pants that are a stretchy black material that I bought my freshman year of college, oh about, 8 years ago that I would wear on the days I wanted to be comfy. Those however have bleach stains on them that I have colored in with a Sharpee marker so they aren’t noticeable, and some areas are starting to wear extremely thin, like the inseam area. I probably should have gotten rid of those a long time ago, but I didn’t have any other comfy pants to wear!
This might be a bad thing that I discovered this. I might never wear anything else again!

I’m not a fan of the elastic on the leg bottoms of sweats either. My love is Old Navy’s yoga pants. There’s a little bit of spandex in them to help hold the “mommy pooch” in at the top a little too.

I know just what you mean… I HATE the elastic on the bottom, I too have long legs and look like they are just too short. I don’t like sweats because they get too warm here in Florida (sorry, not trying to brag
REALLY!), but I LOVE my yoga pants, and YES, I have worn them outside of the house. But you can find some really nice ones, but they cost a little extra.
ENJOY your new pants…. and be comfy!!

I am the same way! I have a pair of sweatpants with sort of a bootcut leg and they are getting pretty raggedy lookin’, but I am not going to throw them out! Not yet anyway!~

I don’t wear sweatpants in public but I do own a couple of pairs from when DH was in the Navy. They are almost worn all the way through in places but I LOVE them!

My new love are my pair of lounge/yoga pants. There are just those days where jeans just feel too constricting. I love Old Navy because they make them long for those who are tall and long legged like me. Everything else makes me look like I am “flodding”

I know exactly what you mean! I am of the long legged variety as well, and I hate the flood look. I’ll have to check these out.

LOL Your so cute! I love the elastic in the bottom so I can stretch it over my feet. I love sweats! They are just so comfy!
