Track pants, the kind that are tight at the calves and looser at the thighs, are sort of popular these days. Unfortunately, it’s hard to pull them off, unless you’re Justin Bieber or Drake, but even they end up getting meme’d so nobody gets to win, really. However, if you’re really adamant about wearing those particular kind of track pants (because #sweg), there’s a few things you should keep in mind.
Now I’m not one to put people or fashion preferences in a box, but as far as I’ve noticed, this trend is most popular amongst men. Yes, women have leg hair too, but not nearly a much as men (in most cases). If you’re a dude, and you want to wear these track pants, shave your calves. I can’t imagine how uncomfortable they’d be with all that thick, curly fur covering your legs. Think about all that hair getting tangled up, and rubbing against the surface of these track pants. It’s a recipe for in-grown hair and disaster.
Another tip for pulling these track pants off (pun intended) is to know your personal style. Are you a leather clad sex, drugs and rock n’ rolling headbanger? Or do you tend to gravitate towards tailored suits, cuff links and loafers? If you’re either one of these things, or anything in between, these adult diaper-resembling track pants are not for you. Who are they for? Instagram rappers, 13 year old boys who know one 2pac song and think they’re ‘hood’, and lastly, wannabe ‘fitness models.’ I mean, I get it, you worked hard on your body and you wanna show it off to everyone out there, but please don’t do it by posting shirtless pictures in these god awful pants. Whatever happened to old fashioned sweat pants? Honestly, even men’s yoga pants don’t look this douche, they’re actually easier to pull off, provided you do it right, since they’re pretty tight.
The moral of the story is that if you’re dying to wear these pants, do it. It’s not like anyone can stop you, but keep in mind that they’re probably a short-lived fad that’ll go away soon. However, if you want to look like Justin Bieber, break out your track pants, wear some neon boxers (make sure they’re showing) and get some fake tattoos, because real tattoos are supposedly haram bro. On the bright side, they’re easy to slav squat in.
