I'm not sure what's wrong with wearing sweatpants out in public? Maybe not the cheap, baggy kind. But I've seen women in sporty "sweat" outfits and some look really good in them! Maybe it depends on the design or the designer, but it's obvious some of those outfits were made for wearing in public.

Most ugly pants. Sweatpants was invented for sport, not for street.

You haven't seen the fashion sweat pants, the whole outfits, designed for women. Men's sweatpants are definitely for sport or for the home. But the fashion industry has taken women's sweats to a whole new level.

Do people wear sweatpants? I think no. I hate them.
Actually regular people rarely wear nice clothes. In Florida unless they have some office time job, they are all wearing ugly sweat pants; pants with writings on them, and generally VERY unflattering clothing items. No one matches anything, and they look like they escaped a carnival. I remember once in Germany, everyone was dressed so nicely.

Ohh, let me not forget to mention the atrocious skinny jeans that look awful on skinny people! Yeah, imagine those on 200lbs+ people!

Not for the lack of options, but for the lack of be willing to wear what flatters one's body versus what's trending. Actually, they have a show on TLC called "What Not To Wear"! Watch and weep!
What Not to Wear: TLC

People here live with this notion that they have to express themselves(=read be noticed) by wearing things that either don't fit, fit poorly, or simply don't go together. Few have enough self respect to ask for help in that regard.

Depends on the climate where a person lives, their social circle or lifestyle or religion or how much thought and care they put into fashion and their appearance. $$ is not so much a factor because you can have buckets of money and still look slovenly or be broke and look put together and appropriate. Jeans vary. They can look chic or sloppy. Yoga pants and leggings seem to have displaced juicy couture type velour sweatpants for those that wear them and don't do yoga or exercise.

Where at in Florida? Down here in SE Florida it's way too hot for sweatpants except for on some of the chillier days from December through February. I don't see sweatpants often at all.

They also make every woman look about 20 pounds heavier than they are. They also don't keep you as cool as shorts, and don't keep you as warm as jeans. I guess I'm not a fan of those. LOL.

I wear mid thigh shorts mostly, tank tops or short sleeved scoop necked tops in bright colors, jeans in the winter, sandals or tennis shoes, long sleeved shirts with my parka when it's cold, and occasionally dresses with tights and high heels in chilly weather.
I actually hate capri's, too. I find them indecisive. Be shorts or be pants, but don't waffle about in the middle of the road.

I don't like skinny jeans much either unless worn in the punk style with big boots, a studded jacket, and a mohawk. Skinny jeans with little canvas shoes? Please, no...

I wear my underpants on the outside of my clothing. I'm trying to see if it could catch on. So far, it's not looking like it will.

Today I wore a hot pink and white jersey type shirt, jeans, and tennis shoes that have hot pink, baby pink, and white dots all over them. I looked like I was made of bubble gum. I had two outfits laid out: a grey pencil skirt, a white blouse, grey tights and black shoes and the pink one. Today felt more pink.

Sounds like Julie Winters from the MTV animated series, "The Maxx."
