yoga pants and flip flops

[TurdBerglar]

or the alternative, pajama pants and uggs.

it seems that girls are dressing bummier and bummier. girls use to dress nicely well at least they'd put some jeans and shoes on. im a grungy guy and I dress better than these girls when im just wearing cargo shorts and a t-shirt. atleast I've got socks and shoes on. whenever I see a girl wearing pajama pants out in public the first thing I think is that she's still wearing the underwear she slept in and she hasn't taken a shower yet walking around with a dirty ass.

why has this become "cute"? take a shower, put some clothes on and ditch the flip flops. the only reason why guys like yoga pants is because we can see your fucking cunts.

[M|X|Y]

at least they're up front about being slobby so you know to stay away

I think that look is tapering off where I live. It's still around though. I think it's because they spend so much time on their going out outfits that they have no energy left to look put together in the day time.

I've been annoyed this past fall/winter/spring by the knee high boots with leggings and a northface fleece. It's just, I don't know, ugly to me. I'm tired of looking at leather or faux leather encased calves. Even worse when they dont even look like they fit. Of all the clothes available today, people choose the most boring things. and only about 10% of leggings-as-pants are flattering. I mean you don't have to show the world your whole butt. You just don't.

[TurdBerglar]

the girls that spend too much time on their going out outfits tend to be the ones that look like strippers on their day off. classiness is fucking gone.


I do enjoy seeing "the whole butt", though. but I guess that's their goal.

The guy that invented the skin tight running pants should win the Nobel Peace Prize.

[Dorothy Wood]

Man a lot of these girls are just wearing what other girls are wearing, they aren't thinking about what men think. Or they think it's just comfortable/acceptable. I'm just saying, there are a lot of bad butts out there, I think if some could see their own butt, they'd agree.

Not trying to be mean really, just speaking practically, there are ways to dress that are flattering...but people just follow trends whether or not it fits with their body type. I mean like, I know body suits and crop tops are in style, but I'm not wearing them because it's not going to flatter my figure.

People can wear whatever they want, I just don't understand this whole unflattering clothes thing, plus I need clothes and all the clothes in stores are dumb and ugly. I don't get it.

yeah when they sweat and you can see the sweatprint of their twats

[TurdBerglar]

Man a lot of these girls are just wearing what other girls are wearing, they aren't thinking about what men think.

im pretty sure these pants are all about what mean think. or atleast it started out that way when girls started wearing them as legit daily clothes. after all the cool hot girls started wearing them to show off then all the other girls joined in to be cool too.

[Dorothy Wood]

Women don't really think that much about what men are going to be attracted to when they're wearing yoga pants. It's a comfort thing. But yeah tight pants in general were meant to be sexy when they were invented. But tight stretchy fabric is just practical.

I think most women know that men want to bang them all the time no matter what they're wearing.

[TimDoolan]

\ I mean you don't have to show the world your whole butt. You just don't.

Unless one is wearing the Lululemon see-thru variety, then it's a requirement.

so annoying...just like those messy uncombed hair buns
i bet if they make themselves a clean bun on accident then the pull out some hair to make it look messy on purpose...

[ms.peachy]

I have an issue with people wearing gym or sport type clothing when they are not, in fact, at the gym or playing a sport. Put on real clothes, people. I mean OK - if you see someone who is obviously quite fit and sporty and they are at the supermarket in their gear, I can accept that they might just be on their way home from a workout or a game, or maybe they work as a coach/trainer, whatever, that's fine. But if that's not the case, then seriously - go fucking get dressed in actual clothes, you lazy dillweed. Especially if we can tell by just looking at you that the gym is clearly not a place with which you are well acquainted.

these are the most revealing pants ever invented. body paint would be more concealing than some of these pants. these pants are all about... hey! look at every crevice of my ass! look! my cunt has a wedgie! hehe, im so cute!

if it were about practicality they'd fucking wear sweat pants like they do on heavy period day.

[M|X|Y]

I think you're mistaken about the thought process. I've never known a woman to show a camel toe on purpose...or a wiggly butt (unless they're in a twerking contest). Ladies tend to try on stuff and pose in the dressing room with perfect posture and stillness, not taking into account movement or relaxed posture. I think that's part of why some people don't realize all their junk is loose. They're picturing themselves the way they posed.

But otherwise...Close-fitting clothes are practical for fitness. My pants are always stretchy and tight or fitted because it looks better (more tailored), feels better, and makes it easier to move around. Plus it's really comfortable to wear stretchy knits. I promise you that comfort and peers are the top reasons women wear yoga pants, women aren't constantly trying to show men the goods.

Haha, when I was writing this, a lady in workout clothes with a messy bun walked in to my work. She looked good, wiggly whole butt action happening though.

[Dorothy Wood]

*while it is comfortable to wear stretchy knits, I don't wear them in public. I have two pair of yoga type pants, but they have no style so I hate them for aesthetic reasons. My stretchy pants are jeans or jean-like.

[TurdBerglar]

I see yoga pants as the same thing when girls wear these tiny little gym shorts and proceed to roll them up at the top to make them even shorter and hike them up all tight around their crotches and let the bottom of their asses show. is that also about convenience and comfort?

I think it's the same idea it's just that the yoga pants have become acceptable and classy for some reason. it's become almost business casual attire if worn with the right stuff. or at least classy enough for waitresses to be wearing that at a swanky café type place.

what the fuck would happen if dudes started wearing shit like that? pants so shear and tight that you could clearly see the heads of their cocks and the wrinkles in their nut sacks.

[Dorothy Wood]

Girls don't wear skimpy clothes to specifically appeal to men. And those little fold down boxers are made that way. I'm just trying to explain that women dress to fit in with their peers. And it is actually more comfortable to wear barely any clothes.

Hmm, how can I explain...let's see...ok, I have a friend with spectacular boobs and she wears a well fitting bra and lowcut fitted tshirts because it looks good. Men stare at her chest, but that's not why she shows cleavage. She's just a fit and goodlooking person who isn't thinking about what other people think, just wearing stuff she likes to wear.

Or, like once in college, I was out on the town with my boyfriend at the time and it started raining, and three girls ran for cover. They were wearing white shirts and he said "I bet they knew it was going to rain and wore white on purpose so guys could see through their shirts". And I was like "wtf? No."

This is kind of like the whole "she asked for it" argument. Women know when they are trying to look hot, but that doesn't mean they want male attention.

Also in the 70s and in current gay culture, men dressed/dress in revealing clothing all the time. Fashion changed, dunno why.

[TurdBerglar]

anything low cut was designed to show the chest. low cut and form fitting was specifically designed to be attractive compared to a simple normal t-shirt.
that low cut t-shirt on your friend looks good because guys say so. the opposite sex dictates what looks good on both sides. she may not be intentionally trying to show off but she's buying the clothes that have the intentions of showing off because she thinks they look nice. they look nice because the opposite sex says so.

[Dorothy Wood]

I disagree. Women are able to determine what looks good without a man's approval. Boobs and butts are attractive to everyone. And Madonna has more to do with women dressing skimpy than any man does. Plus a large portion of fashion designers are gay men.

And part of dressing sexy is feeling rebellious. I'm trying to explain that it's not a conscious decision on the part of women to show specific parts to attract men. It's more about looking attractive to everyone, about being an attractive person in general. It's less conscious than you think. Yesterday I wore a new tshirt with a scoop neckline that was thin because it was hot. I didn't realize it was so revealing until I got on my bike, leaned forward and looked down.

You should also know that women are capable of finding other women pretty or hot even if they are straight. In fact, when I get the girls out or wear a mini skirt, most of the attention I get is from straight women. And when my best friend wears short shorts I'm like woo woo! lookin good girl! And when I went to a bachelorette party last week that was private with no boys, we all looked hot. Just to look hot. For fun.

I'm just saying, a girl isn't like "I will show my crevices today in order to attract attention from men" when she puts on yoga pants, or a low cut top, or short shorts.

[TurdBerglar]

sexiness is determined by the opposite sex that's why it's called sexy. attraction is determined by the opposite sex. not by the same sex. if a girl thinks something is sexy on another girl it's because they were told through their culture that it's sexy. that's why girls have the parts that they have. because over the millennia the girls with the most desirable parts got fucked more producing more offspring with the same genes that make the attractive parts. if attraction was not determined by the opposite sex we'd all dress and look pretty much the same. clearly we don't. this isn't just about females. the same thing goes for guys just the same. but I think guys just don't care as much? maybe they do. I don't know.

that shirt you wore was designed to be attractive. if it weren't designed to be attractive if would be just a normal t-shirt that you'd get at footlocker. you may have worn it for it's practicality but it was not designed with intentions of practicality. it was designed to be cute. typical female fashion isn't about practicality. it's about looks/attention first. if something is practical it's by chance or it was a secondary not a primary design attribute. yoga pants are about being practical yet still showcasing the goods to a high degree.

when girls wear yoga pants that tend to also follow through with that cute-casual look. that look that says casual but you know they put effort into looking that way so it's not really casual. fake casual.

[Dorothy Wood]

I still disagree, but see what you're saying. I think if people had to be goodlooking to reproduce, there wouldn't be so many ugly people.

aww
i looove leggings.
of course its hard to find good ones that arent too tight, thin or made of crappy material
totally hate the girls that think theyre pants though and dont hide their butt. youve gotta cover up the butt...sluts!

I suspect that many people don't own full length mirrors. They see an outfit on a model or mannequin and they assume it looks the same on them.

[Lyman Zerga]

ive seen so much cellulite since i came to the US, wow

[Dorothy Wood]

I'm watching a documentary on women's obsession with shoes and I'm starting to understand turd's point of view. Listening to a bunch of French people and ditzy rich ladies and a shoe historian, I'm learning that basically all of contemporary fashion is based off of pin up girls during the WWII.

I still don't think that women are that conscious about appearance, I feel like there are people who really pay attention and those who don't pay enough attention. I guess I just try to be classy so I'm not thinking of projecting sexuality as much as some others might be. I just think that the vast majority of Americans have no idea why they're wearing what they wear beyond it being something they saw someone else wear, or saw in an ad, on a celebrity, etc.

Man that documentary was interesting but depressing. Some people sure spend a lot of time on frivolous shit. But you can't deny, high heels are flattering.

(doc is called God Save My Shoes. On Netflix. Pretty mediocre production value and some gross feet, but interesting when they get to the historical and scientific stuff. Also French people talking about shoes is soothing in a way).

[Micodin]

I'll take Yoga Pants and Flip Flops over Uggs and Sweatpants any day of the week.

Especially those awful sweatpants with "pink" or "cute" on the butt. And, don't get me started on Uggs...

[TurdBerglar]

I just think that the vast majority of Americans have no idea why they're wearing what they wear beyond it being something they saw someone else wear, or saw in an ad, on a celebrity, etc.

i think current fashion has more to do with Britney spears and the other crazy retard celebrities out there. remember when she was having a breakdown and she always looked like a crazy white trash wreck? she was constantly in the news. especially internet "news". she had plenty of opportunity to be an influence especially since she was so highly regarded before hand. that's what these girls are dressing like.

As someone who wears yoga pants / "flip flops" / tracksuit pants / uggs pretty regularly, I find this whole conversation weird.

If I choose to wear my trackies & uggs to the shops, what does if matter if the guy in the next isle thinks I'm classless? I'm warm, comfy and getting on with my own life. I spend most of my week in corporate attire, and try to look my best when out socialising with friends & family, so I should be able to wear what I want when I want in my downtime. Right?

[TurdBerglar]

no

stop wearing pajamas outside the house. wear some fucking appropriate clothes.

[TurdBerglar]

this whole cute-slob trend is fucking weird. it's such a worthless contradiction. dressing casual but still trying to fit in with the other cute girls. fake casual. it's just a fucking stupid way to think. people can't even dress like a slob without worrying what people think about them. the fuck? if you're gonna dress like a slob fucking dress like a slob and don't try to hide it by wearing these cutesy fucking revealing things.

[Dorothy Wood]

Ah ha! See, I was right, it's the people who dress up! All the effort goes to work and night life.

Russhie, why uggs though? I'm genuinely asking because I've always thought they were hideous. No offense, just find it a contradiction that people who care about style would wear them. On a basic aesthetic level, the shape is unflattering on everyone. I have the same issue with crocs.

I mean, there are comfortable shoes out there that don't look like dirty sacks.

[zippo]

if they would dress like slobs who obviously dont care then they'd be wearing huge sweatpants with oversized sweatshirts and uh, i dont know, shoeboxes for shoes.
but since they wanna feel comfortable but without ever forgetting to look at least a bit good/sexy/attractive/ (which i dont understand what in the hell is wrong with never wanting to look bad),they do a combination of comfy with sexy...i don't think its "fake casual", noones trying to fool anyone. its almost like the definition of being a woman (some at least): always getting away with being attractive in some big or small way, not necessarily always for others but also for themselves.
a woman (or man) who gives up on being concerned about how they look shows untidiness...now, the definition of tidiness clothes-wise is in the eye of the beholder of course. so, yea, its no big secret theyre trying, theres nothing wrong with trying.

[TurdBerglar]

the way that females seem to always feel the need to be attractive is gross to me.

girls can get so weird with their appearance that it can ruin your fucking day with how impractical they can get.

you and all your buddies decide to go hiking one day. so you all pile into some cars and meet each other at some state park. as you're sitting in the parking lot waiting for the other car of buddies to arrive you notice that there's an extra person in that car. you and your buddies realize it's one of your other buddy's girlfriends. you all look at each other and groan.... why the fuck did he bring her!

she gets out of the car and she's fucking wearing these tiny little shorts. a tank top that can barely contain her tits and these tiny shoes that are basically glorified ballerina slippers. and to top it off she's got those ridiculously sized sunglasses on the top of her head that she's never gonna put on her face and use all day just taunting you. why the fuck do you decide to wear this shit when you're going on a hike? everyone else is wearing fucking grungy shorts and boots or at least some sturdy shoes. then she just fucking complains because her feet are getting wet and she's getting scratched by prickers and her thighs had to touch a slimy wet log that we had to climb over. so now her boyfriend has to leave early and fuck his whole day up to take her home. what the fuck.

or that girl at work that ALWAYS wears a short skirt. and she ALWAYS asks you the reach the box of paperwork on the top shelf in the storage room because she can't climb up the step ladder without exposing herself. if wearing a skirt prevents you from doing your job FUCKING DON'T WEAR A SKIRT.

or when you take your girlfriend to six flags. she's wearing flip flops and you tell her that open toed shoes aren't allowed on a lot of rides. and she doesn't give a shit and refuses to change to shoes because she spent all morning tying to decide what to wear. and she's getting shitty with you for some reason. probably because she was expecting to be complimented rather than be told how she should dress. then you get there and she can't go on half the rides because SHE'S WEARING FLIP FLOPS.

WHAT THE FUCK

[Lyman Zerga]

no girl on earth would wear ugglies if celebrities wouldnt have shown themselves in them

why even wear them in the heat? are stinky sweaty feet are considered 'cute' now too?



p.s. i love six flags!

[TurdBerglar]

yeah six flags is pretty dope if it's not too crowded

[ms.peachy]

Turd man, you seem to hang out with some pretty weird people.

[checkyourprez]

they may be comfortable. but a lot of shit is comfortable and girls wont wear it. with uggs its all about the style. which frankly i dont care to judge. everyone has their own style, if someones is uggs, then whatever, it doesnt affect my life any. but i do agree with the overall flow of the thread.

[Lyman Zerga]

everyone has their own style

nope and thats the problem!

[Dorothy Wood]

As a kid I loved the movie the Parent Trap (from 1961). In that movie there are two adult female characters, the former wife and the new fiancé. The fiancé is pretty, but she's an impractical snob. The ex wife is beautiful too, but older and smarter and when they go camping she's not a priss like the fiancé. In the story the more mature and down to earth woman wins out. I don't think any media message since overpowered the model that set for me.


So yeah, prissy impractical people are annoying. Men can be like that too sometimes. I think it's more common for women to hobble themselves though. High heels, uncomfortable clothing, it started as status, but borders on self-abuse in extreme cases (in that shoe movie, women were getting foot surgery just to keep wearing heels.) just to encumber oneself with so much stuff seems insane to me. But you know, it's a free country. Free to be whatever kinda douche bag you wanna be.

[russhie]

wrong.

I have plenty of self respect, which is why, when relaxing or running errands I sometimes choose trackies and uggs or yoga pants and "flip flops" to go about my business instead of feeling to need to dress in a way that pleases a bunch of random men/women.

This reminds me of the pretentious shit Rachel Zoe wrote about sweat shirts being a no-no for lazy Sundays at home, that it's simple to class it up with a cashmere sweater in case friends drop by. 1) not sure my budget can stretch to cashmere loungewear 2) pretty sure my less fashion savvy friends and family wouldn't know if my sweater was cashmere or otherwise and 3) if you surprise me at home on a lazy Sunday, take me as I am.

[checkyourprez]

well kinda true. even if your copying or a poser, whatever thats what you choose. it doesnt affect me any.

saw a woman today who couldn't chase her little kid down because she was wearing flip flops. some stranger had to grab her kid.

kid was all like... bitch is wearing flip flops im freeeeeee!

[cosmo105]

I'm pretty low-maintenance as a relatively feminine lady goes, but the only time I feel comfortable leaving the house looking sloppy is when I'm going to the gym (which is how I think everyone SHOULD look at the gym. If by the time I leave I don't look like a drowned rat or like I just finished plowing a few acres of land, I'm not doing it right). By sloppy I mean unshowered, no makeup, one of my husband's shirts and then my workout clothes (which are actually in pretty good shape). And obviously when I'm going camping or hiking or biking or whatever else athletic.

I have yoga pants but have never really worn them outside my apartment complex except one or two times when I was sick and just running to the drugstore. Even then I feel embarrassed. I dress pretty grubby for work since it's in a lab/factory setting and I have to rock big clunky nonstick shoes and wear jeans and shirts that I don't care about (as in they will all eventually end up being stained and thus tossed out if I can't get the stain out), and usually don't bother wearing makeup if I don't have any meetings. I at least make sure my hair's not a mess and that my clothes are clean and all that good stuff. Otherwise I usually put on at least a little makeup and put in some effort, you know? I'm just going grocery shopping right now and I'm blow-drying my hair and putting on clean clothes, damnit.

All that being said, Uggs are hideous. It drives me nuts seeing people wearing them out here. It's 95 degrees. Your shoes are basically sacks of sheep over your feet. I hear they smell horrific.

You're too young for that movie to be on your cultural radar. Even I'm too young but it was on TV a lot when I was a kid and before cable we didn't have many choices.

Didn't it ever bother you that they were fighting over Brian Keith? I mean, the dad from Family Affair? That bugged me when I was a kid.

I was a tad defensive, ha.

Maybe it's because I'm Australian, but I love my uggs. I'm blessed to live in a part of the world that experiences both winter snowfall and hot summers, and during cold weather there is nothing better than sliding my feet into my Nomad Blue Mountains uggs after a long day in heels.

Fact: wool also has cooling properties (don't ask me how it works). This is why, unless you're trudging around for hours in uggs with no socks on in the middle of summer they will smell - just like any other shoe. Otherwise, they're quite un-smelly.
Or, you purchase synthetic uggs - they will stink up much quicker than real wool.

I think I saw it a lot on tv, or my mom rented it. I was pretty obsessed with tv and movies from the 50's/60's when I was a kid.

I wasn't familiar with Family Affair at the time, but I did think the dad was old and ugly, ha. He had that awesome ranch though.

ok honestly i know you're kidding and all but i have noticed a VERY strange phenomenon lately. in the past couple of weeks i've been creepily hit on/stared at a few times while coming home from work in my grubby ugly work outfit and clonky frankenstein shoes. seriously, i look a MESS and yet i've gotten super lurked on. and i never get lurked on normally. (i've been told that i give off a certain "don't fuck with me" vibe? no idea.) but for some reason lately the work clothes have really been a hit lately, i do not get it one bit

maybe it makes disgusting men feel like you're in their league

[M|X|Y]

if you meant me: i know youre a MRS. i was speaking metaphorically... a BRAIN BONER, forchrissakes!

i dunno.. maybe it doesn't have to do with how you look. i know i've historically had more 'attention' when i'm with someone. like going into a negotiation with nothing to lose - sometimes not giving a shit is actually attractive to some people. which i totally don't understand either :confused:

and like bob said, i think that dressed down women are attractive to some dudes for that very reason - probably unconsciously - attainability.

personally i don't like either extreme. the trophy type who is all and only about what they look like is ugly. show-off anything is ugly and unsavory to me.

^i wasn't offended, i knew you were kidding around. i'm just saying i really don't get hit on very much at all normally and was wondering why the hell looking grubby made me more of a target for that. i couldn't be a heavily made-up sex bomb lady if i tried/wanted to. interesting theories, boys! i'll start wearing my shittiest clothes to bars to get free drinks (y)

[M|X|Y]

^ i know(y)

you say you're low maintenance, but you also care about how you look in a good way most of the time.

no no stay just how you are! we need more yous! i mean, yeah do it for the free drinks because who cares about dummies/dudes like that but stay how you are outside of those bars

[zippo]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

yup! hahahahahha

cover up your pussy, girl. seriously.

You know, the parent of that girl needs a smack. Instead of indulging his whiny little entitled princess, he should be using this opportunity to have a conversation with her about thinking about how what she chooses to wear makes an impression. It's not like the TSA guy harassed her; he told her she was too young to young to be walking around with her schnizz hanging out. And maybe he's right, maybe he's wrong, maybe the outfit was too revealing and maybe it wasn't, but the point is this girl needs guidance from her parents about how to live in the real world, where real people will react in real ways. She's so disconnected she even says "if a guy was wearing that he wouldn't be in trouble" - like a guy would be wearing a short T shirt with his belly out! For crying out loud.

[Dorothy Wood]

I don't think the TSA agent should've said anything, but I think posting a whole exasperated blog about the situation is weird as hell.

I looked at the daughter's facebook, she is a young hipster lady dressing in minimal body-conscious clothing because that's what is popular. I do think she is too young to be wearing tiny shorts and a see-through lace crop top, as she is in one of her public pictures. Her friend is also wearing a similar outfit. I'm not one to slut-shame people, but 15 is pretty much still a kid, and super-sexualizing yourself should wait until you can at least drive a car.

I'm guessing her shirt wasn't pulled down like that when she went through TSA.

Having read another thing about it, I think that that is really all this is about - her blogger dad making a mountain of a molehill in order to draw attention to his blog. Lame.

[Dorothy Wood]

Yeah the more I think about it, the creepier the dad seems. Huff post picked up the story so now there are thousands of comments, some supportive, but many lewd and insulting. So basically he put his daughter on display for the whole Internet to judge so he could get clicks. Smooth move, dad.

[abbott]

the shit my girls wear drives me crazy.

My wife has the lulu lemon pants,

my 9 year old has these short shorts, bikini swim suites.

My 4 year old wears these stretch pants.

I tell them what I think, but shit I cant get my 4 year old to stop sucking her thumb, much less rule over my 3 girls.

Shit kills me.

[Dorothy Wood]

To be fair, I wore short shorts and crop tops and leggings (though usually topped with an oversize tshirt) as a kid in the 80's.

But maybe the fits were a little more boxy? Less about trying to look like a grown up maybe?

I remember asking my mom why my bandeau bikini top was a rectangle instead of cinched in the middle like the older girls, I thought it looked cooler cinched. Kids don't know what they're doing they just wanna look cool.

That wouldn't bother me really, they're little kids. But this girl was 15 and her parents should be talking to her about how as a young woman she will be perceived in this world, fairly or unfairly, and this whole thing ought to have been handled quietly within the family, not put out there for consumption by Dad.

[Lyman Zerga]

leggings (though usually topped with an oversize tshirt)

i sometimes wear that but with an oversized sweater instead of a tshirt

[TurdBerglar]

didn't kids use to dress like kids? or at least they'd wear the kid version of something? now girls between the ages of 12 and 25 dress pretty much exactly the same.

no one needs to see 12 year old camel toe...

why are their parents letting them do that?

you know how much a dirt bag it makes you feel when you're checking out a girl and you need to play that.... wait how old is she game? because you can't tell if she's still in high school or 25? then you and you buddies have a discussion about how old she might be while you gawk at her tight round massive ass jiggling about. no 16 year old should be dressed like she's trying to go out to the bar to get some dick.

[cosmo105]

I just got done doing a stint as a juror and it sort of forced me to dress a little more nicely than my day-to-day. Not that they're super strict, but you're expected to class it up a little, and everyone around the courthouse is always pretty done up in suits and dresses and all. It reminded me of being in NYC earlier this month, where pretty much everyone looked like they had important shit to GET DONE.

[TurdBerglar]

when I went in for jury duty last year mostly everyone was dressed like it was laundry day.
