Seriously? They're comfortable, they're warm, they're ideal for fall and winter when the temps get no higher than the 60s... but what's wrong with them? It's like they're not "socially acceptable" or something, my mom says I need to start wearing khaki pants now, but those are so funky and suffocate your crotch and you can't sit or stand in them comfortably. I've heard other people make a big deal out of sweatpants, so what's wrong with them? Why can't I wear them? They're me!
