velour sweatsuits...

kenzie · Chanel

I still wear them. They are comfy and look more put together than ratty old sweats any day. I don't care if they are in or out. I still like 'em.

ETA: I should note that I rarely wear them out of the house, but still think it's acceptable. Lately, my lounging around outfits have been the full-length, knit gauchos with a beater and a cardigan. Looks way more put together, imo.

I mix them, I wear my hoodies with other sweatpants and then my pants with a jean jacket. But I agree they do look better than ratty old sweatpants. I am glad that they aren't the typical airport outfit, but running errands...sometimes they are just a must!

They're not my thing, but I think it's okay for you to wear anything you want inside the house. I've never been a fan of people wearing them out and about, I guess I'm not that casual.

FashionPrincess · Hermes

I totally wear mine out, mostly just the occasional errand or bike riding.

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I still wear them. And I do wear them out.. if the grocery store and errands on Saturday count as going out.

Lilykind · Hermes

I will wear the suit to work out in, and if I'm just running errands in the neighborhood. I will break up the suit and wear the separates just about everywhere else.

i see people wearing them all the time--i think it's fine. as long as you are wearing them to the grocery store and the mall and not like, a dinner party, you will be fine. you always look put together and chic--you will be able to work it.

this made me laugh out loud. just imagining JMR sitting at a fancy dinner party in her velour tracksuit.

okay, so anyway... i don't own a velour sweatsuit, but i envy girls who look perfectly casual and cute running their errands etc. in them.

Maddie · Coach

Sorry, but a big "no" from me. But I've always felt that way about them.

ranchera20 · Marc Jacobs

I love my velour sweatsuit. I wore it to school last week and everybody loved it! For some reason I reminded most people of J.Lo (compliment?

) They are so comfy. I actually have that on my Christmas list, one set of velour sweats!

nyc_shopgirl · Dooney & Bourke

Out but good for wearing in and when you want to be grubby but together

JMR · Dooney & Bourke

haha - yeah-I'm not so into wearing them to dinner parties :)

I wear them around the house when I stay in at times so I am comfy but still look put together, occasionaly though I need to run a local errand and I just didn't want to have to change, I wantrd to make sure I didn't look like an old out of style mom!!

Seashells · Dooney & Bourke

I have never personally liked the velor tracksuit, I guess I am a Abercrombie Sweats girl at heart. However, my mom looks hot in them- I know mom sounds bad, but my mom is only 43, and she is really a hottie :)

Karina · Chanel

i wear them all the time on the weekends. i think they're fine and comfy to wear when i'm running out w/ the kids.

bex · Chanel

i love the velour sweatsuits but i rarely wear them together (as in the matching colours. i do put the jacket and pants together- just not matching the colors... i just can't do that for some reason)...

i usually wear my them on home office days and days i want to stay home all curled up and cozy...
