    But, people also tease me for wearing black almost all the time because most of my dance clothes these days are black or navy blue. When I was younger people always commented on how colorful my clothes were. Because I would wear rainbow colored clothing and various other combinations of bright colors. I still wear a lot of colorfully striped or patterned shirts.
    Lol, black is my main color. I just layer other clothes over it if I need some color.

    My husband would slowly stop having sex with me if I work sweats all day.

    Men's gym clothes (sweatpants especially) are often kind of revealing, so that's one reason n̶o̶t̶ to wear them .

    Fixed it.

    Well I practically live in my yoga pants and tank tops, so I do not judge what other people find comfortable. I do however wear other clothes, dresses, jeans, ect when I go out for social occasions. I have work clothes I have to wear to work ..... so when I'm on my own, nothing going on I wear what I want, and don't care if anyone likes it or not.

    Would wear gym shorts to work if not for dress code.

    I don't care if people dress in gym clothes if they are going to and from the gym, or running errands/cleaning. However, today at the doctor I saw two different women wearing yoga pants with high heeled boots, better than casual tops, and full make-up. So you took the time to apply make-up, flat-iron your hair, pick out a nice shirt, cram your feet into 3 inch heels, but putting on actual pants was a big deal? They make comfortable pants that are not meant for the gym. I would be happy to see the women wearing yoga pants everywhere trend die, as well as the moms at the bus stop showing up wearing a pair of uggs over their pajama pants. Yes, it's early and it's not a fashion show, but the person driving the bus managed to get up, get dressed, get their own families out the door, drive to work, pick up the bus and drive it over to pick up your kids all before you were even expected to be at the bus stop. You could at least change out of the clothes you slept in.

    Yes, I am judgmental, I admit it. To me it is a respect thing, because I look like a hot mess when I exercise. If I showed up to meet someone somewhere wearing the same clothes I get sweaty and disgusting in, I feel that would send the message to them that I really don't care enough about them to put in any effort. It's just the way I was brought up.

    I don't go to a gym, and I live in workout clothes lol. It's hot here and shorter sports shorts are so comfortable. I do where tights sometimes, but I only wear them out if I am walking a few kilometres to get to the shop, or if I have being doing house work and that's what's on. I work in a factory , so I wear the work supplied clothes. A lot of girls of different sizes were tights to work and then under their whites. I don't feel that confident yet lol. Though my short shorts have gotten looks :laugh:

    As long as they don't smell like the gym, who cares?

    Or that you feel that way when people do it to you. Differences in culture and how you were brought up will make a difference, but in reality, people who try to perceive what others are actually thinking may have it wrong. Because I'm a trainer, some people who don't know me think that talking about eating junk food is taboo, when it couldn't be further from the truth.
