To this day, even being a crotchety old dude who mostly doesn't GAF, I
still won't be seen in public without a certain minimum level of clothing decorum.

Expert308There are always a few in my office who show up wearing yoga pants. To their credit, most of them pull it off pretty well. But it's a "professional" workplace and IMO the yoga pants are not really appropriate no matter how good they look.
I remember one winter day a couple years ago, I saw a gaggle of them down in the lobby either going to lunch or coming back from it, all wearing yoga pants and - no shit - arctic parkas. It was on the cold side (for here) that day, probably mid-20's. Y'know, "frigid". And there were these half dozen or so gals all wearing yoga pants and heavy parkas, and complaining about how cold it was outside.

Puckpilot78Perfect opportunity to wear some footie pajamas with obligatory butt flap. Bonus points if you leave the flap open all the time.

No one wants to see hail damage through the clothes. I guess it’s a comfort thing?
Hanging on for dear life, and hail damage.
I’m seriously dying over here. I just spat horchata out my nose. lol!!!
