I will never give up sweatpants and sweatshirts.

I don’t know where he is going with the generation thing as some cities seem to be more into sweatpants than other cities.

I hope we get some southerners here that can comment is it custom not to wear sweatpants out of the house or is it just too hot there.

Take Texas or Florida as an example.

From Louisiana, I don't notice much of a difference. In the winter, people wear them inside or outside. Doesn't really matter what you wear if you're just running to the store or picking up someone from the airport.

I lived in FL for 9 years and NC for 1.5… there is NOT a big difference. If anything, you trade your Adidas pants in for shorts during the summer down south. But un the winter? Absolutely no difference. If Orlando or Charlotte had the weather of Philadelphia or Boston, they would be on the list at the top too.

Like I said, its more of a generational thing (GenZ more likely to wear these than older gens). Its not south vs north.

I'm in my office at work right now, wearing lightweight jogging/sweat pants, have several and have been wearing them here since June. I just like to be comfortable and with hybrid work now there are not many people here, and despite our "business casual" policy no one has said anything. Walking the streets in Seattle you are most likely going to see men in khakis or nice jeans, women in yoga pants.

It's 90 degrees in SoCal right now. I still wear sweatpants indoors. Ok, not 90 now, but it's been 90+ these last few days.

Although it could also just be the thousands upon thousands of annoying college kids who love to moan, "I, like, can't even believe I left the house like this," because they're wearing sweatpants and Ugg, as if that in itself isn't a blatant fashion statement, but who knows. "It's nebulous," Michael Scott might say.

Here's the top 20 in full:

Philadelphia, PA
Hartford, CT
Pittsburgh, PA
Lafayette, LA
Laredo, TX
Boston, MA
New York, NY
Los Angeles, CA
Victoria, TX
Scranton, PA
Salt Lake City, UT
Marquette, MI
Milwaukee, WI
Washington, DC
Austin, TX
Watertown, MA
Jacksonville, FL
Idaho Falls, ID
Providence, RI
Chicago, IL
Take that, New York!

I knew the Bay Area wasnt going to be on this list--that's not really a thing here.

Surprising or not surprising that Colorado's not on the list? I think here it's a lot of leggings/yogapants/spandex and Ughs (yes, pun-ishment).

I’m surprised Seattle has done a 360 degree after 90s and early 2000s grunge fashion of ripped jeans and flannel shirt.

Slightly off topic, but I'm curious if it's a common thing for people in Boston to wear pajama bottoms outside of the house.

I've seen mostly women wearing them for a quick WaWa or Walmart trip or during the winter when they want to feel warm and comfortable (especially at Eagles home games during December)... I remember seeing them worn in high school too.

I wear them to take out the garbage and for little else. I'd never go out in public wearing sweatpants.
