Tracksuit Bottoms & Shoes

[Jim Van Winkle]

I don't understand why anyone would wear tracksuit bottoms at all unless partaking in sport.

I am just about to clean my apartment wearing sweatpants. You have inspired me to put on a 3 piece and clean like Dickensian Duke.

Can I just throw "blokes who wear scarves indoors" into the mix...

You can as long I can have sun glasses (male or female) on the tube.

Anyone wearing jogging bottoms outside the house who is not engaged in sporting activity is basically a binner.

I'll expand on that, and declare that pretty much ANYONE in a hat which isn't being worn for practical reasons (ie warmth or shade), looks like a bona-fide 24 carat COCKWOMBLE to me. Any kind of trilby. Those jaunty little "pork pie" hats. Ski hats in the summer. And don't even get me STARTED on baseball caps. It doesn't make you look trendy, or quirky, or interesting. You look shit.

I've seen Ollie Murrs in Leigh on sea on three occasions. On one he had a small trilby hat on which no decent milliner could have crafted for him as it was probably three sizes too small. He was outside a trendy eatery with some other knob on another occasion he was wearing a baseball cap and leaving a bank looking well pleased with himself on the third occasion he was wearing nether as he was playing football at roots hall during half time. If your theory is true he is either a cockwomble or a bell cheese but surely not both. I think , sir, your criteria needs some revision in light of my fieldwork.

There is only ONE scenario where it is acceptable to be seen outside of your front door in jogging bottoms sport or no sport (who wears jogging bottoms for the purpose of jogging in this day an age)....

You have to also be wearing a fruit of the loom t shirt from a fun run or a team building day that is too crap for the gym but ok to sleep in during the winter months. Must have a dodgy looking stain.

You must be up to 11 on the hungover scale and in need of a product or products from the shop that you hope will make you feel better but in reality will probably only make you feel worse.

You must also be purchasing alcohol, preferably cheap wine, in case "miracle" hangover cure doesn't work.

No socks! Shoes optional.

I don't know why it bothers people so much what others wear. Two things you need to remember, they will either
a) feel good in what they are wearing or
B) not be able to afford anything else
Neither of which deserves scorn.
There's bigger things going on.

I know a millionaire who dresses like that socks with holes in etc. shouldn't judge a book by its cover.

What happened? Did he come good on the scratchcards. You might know one millionaire who dresses like a dosser but there are very few dossers who dress like millionaires. Unless they're nudists.

Your observations are duley noted, but I would have to disagree with your conclusion - Ollie Murs could very well be a cockwomble AND a bell cheese, the terms are not by any means mutually exclusive. In fact, he doesn't even need to be wearing a hat for us to know that.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

This, reading his divorce papers and wondering why..............


I bet he did not look like such a cockwomble at 16 in his rebel days......


Just don't get it....


Could do with a Hiney art attack me thinks.....

Speak for yourself, but with summer round the corner I'd prefer to see all gunts, muffin tops and bingo wings well under cover.

You can kit yourself out in Top Man, River Island, Primarni clobber cheaply and not look like a total divot.

I saw a walking tragedy the other day in Churchill Square wearing a battered old black top hat. Mincing around like "oh yah, like, I'm being really individual". He probably thought he looked like Slash, but in fact he just looked like an effeminate Bill Sykes who'd had a stroke. Put me in a FOUL mood, he did.

Do not EVER say that to Paddington Bear

Also, sunglasses indoors. I seem to see more and more people wandering around supermarkets wearing them. If there was ever a kind of shop that's well lit, it's them.

This. If you dress so that you are accepted into society or the 'norm' then it is quite sad. Surely you should wear what you feel comfortable in and not because everyone else tells you what to wear.
