First, a little clarification. Sweatpants are defined as loose, comfy pants with an elastic or drawstring waist, filed under leisurewear.
Just like an armchair, a pair of sweatpants is both an admission and a celebration of reaching peak fatherhood. But it doesn’t mean you must retreat into your den of iniquity and sloth. They balance comfort, durability, and style. And if you pick the right pair, you can wear them to work (yes, really), or to a bar for after-work libations.
