Im a manager for a larger retail chain, our avg customer count each week at my location is just over 15,000, most are women. While you are stuck in your Office in that sausagefest, I'm out here in retail deep in the trenches dealing with this yoga pants epidemic.

I am just about tired of the women of the world not bringing me a sammich too. Oh, and a beer, a nice cold beer.

I'm beginning to think that we are much more fucked than I thought.

Yoga pants are not a dying fad. Who would have thought that gnarly skinny anything pant style would have taken off left alone lasted for well over ten years? Yoga pants are a big market and women will continue to pay big money for them along with all of that other athleisure apparel. Surely those who sport the look on an ongoing basis are probably not into fitness but enjoy the look, even if it does not suit them well. The pajama pants, especially with characters and alcoholic drinks plastered all over them are gross and only a specially breed think they are fashionable.

I don't know about cloths but if you are ever out here in the bay area you'll find that the nudists (men & women) are not exactly flattering.

Isn't that to be expected though? When we look at the population how many actually have "model'esque" bodies? Keep in mind that over 1/3 of Americans are obese and another third are over 55. Unless one expects only the hot attractive people to run around a beech naked then what one should expect is a good portion of the people on a nude beach to be older and or fat :-)

Read this sentence and tell me why I should have any sympathy at all for you :-)

IMO they are absolutely a fad. Just like tight fitting clothing is right now. We used to joke around saying don't let the tight fitting style of clothes ever come back into style. Laughing at pictures of older brothers and sisters from the 70's. Just like mens suits are now popular in sports cuts. I grew up with tight fitting clothes of the 70's which loosened up in the 80's and 90's. Back full circle to tight fitting clothing.

You must have grown up in a different 80's then I did. The 80's was the "Aerobic Exercise" phase and women running around in tights and those legging things was pretty common. Throw in the leather pants and there was plenty of "Tight" clothing. I can't remember a time in my life where, women specifically, didn't wear tight jeans.

Ok, let's do the math:

take numbe 2 - dress any day.

I do remember some bad jeans back then. The kind that seemed to go over the belly button and at times impossible tight. But I don't remember it being the style to wear tight fitting clothing all the time. But maybe I'm mixing that up with the early 90's when the grunge look came on.

I must still be blinded by the fluorescent colors of the 80's.

Either way I still think yoga pants are a fad and will eventually start to go away.

And the winner is!

That fine. You can have Cutler's wife. I'll take her:

80's fashion included batwing sleeves, so it wasn't all about tight clothes, but it seems to me that the Victorian collars with ruffles and lace were big (not to mention those idiotic massive shoulder pads), as well as oversized t-shirts. But jeans were required to be as tight as possible, on both men and women. Those spiffy knitted leggings went over the jeans, as tights hadn't quite made it into everyday wear.

Duffy prefers the dress/yoga pants combo...

those are pantihose, the fringe is a small mercy

Flesh colored yoga pants :)

I work in a college, god bless the inventor of yoga pants.

Aren't you already married? Who the hell are you sucking up to?

Sure, if any of the women walking around wearing yoga pants looked like those girls, ....

But they don't. They just don't.

if you pass me and probably 99% of all other men and you have nice legs, they will be checked out.

Right, but could we please go back to a time when fat chicks were appropriately ashamed to be seen in public, rather than flaunting their pale, jiggly shit everywhere in clingy clothes that only accentuate rather than mitigate the horror?

And don't even get me started on compounding that visual offense with awful, stupid, low-quality tats...

Don't forget the idiotic hair bun on top...
