The Biggest Waste of Money in Men’s Style

The Latest Ridiculous Men’s Style Fad:  Designer Sweatpants

That right there, is $1,763 worth of sweatpants.  From the left:

  1. Etro Pants – $615
  2. Giorgio Armani – $850
  3. John Varvatos – $298

I almost bought a car for $1,700 the other day, but the dealer wouldn’t come down from $2,000.

$1700.  Three pairs of sweatpants.  Oh but they’re designer sweatpants.  If you squint, it almost looks like they’re giving you the finger… doesn’t it?

Found here in T Magazine by our drinks correspondent Ben Madeska.  For the record, I’ve been running in cold weather in the same pair of soft-poly Addidas warm up pants for the last four years without trouble.  And at $35, they’ll take a beating without costing the same amount as a new suit.  Just sayin’.
