Designer Sweatpants…The New Leggings?

Oy Vey!

Just when I’d finally learned to accept leggings as the trend that won’t go away (it’s been three years already!) a new beast emerges on the horizon…

Designer. Sweat. Pants.

And no, these aren’t your tween dream Juicy Couture creations.  We’re talking “serious” sweat suits from the likes of Rag & Bone, Bottega Veneta and Michael Kors. 

And don’t even think about pairing your $500 sweats with a pair of sneakers.

“It’s all about the heels,” says Loren Ridinger, senior vice president for an Internet marketing and product brokerage company.  “It takes it to a whole new level.”

In general, I’m pretty open-minded when it comes to fashion.  But there just seems to be so much potential for this trend to go horribly wrong when translated into the real world. I’m already having visions of Champion sweats paired with stilettos at dinner *cringe*.

But alas, I will wait before I pass judgment.  And who knows, this trend could grow on me, much like leggings and skinny jeans (although I am sooooo over the former).  Only time will tell.
