This week during my Thursday morning chat with Kramp and Adler on 102.1, I mentioned that my 4-year-old son was in a “sweatpants” phase and -- since I am honoring his fashion choice -- it limits where we can eat for Easter brunch.
My situation reminds me of how often I see adults in nice restaurants wearing sweatpants or “Zubaz.” (You know, those baggy, tiger-striped pants.) I don't know if this is a Milwaukee thing or a fashion phenomenon that happens in a lot of cities, but a lot of folks in this town wear their lounging duds to fancy events and I'm not sure what to think about this.
What are your thoughts?
Who cares? People should wear whatever makes them comfortable. If someone wants to wear sweatpants to The Pfister, that's their choice. Milwaukee is a working-class city, and because of this fact, it's very down-to-earth. People wearing sweats in public is a small price to pay for the lack of pretention in this city.
Put on a real pair of pants, please. Sweats are fine for running to the grocery store, but when you're going out for dinner at a nice restaurant, have a little pride / class and wear something without an elastic waistband (unless one is medically required).
