Sweatpants


Sweatpants.

Jon Moy is a freelance writer based in Detroit. He’s written about a lot of things, but mostly about fashion. He’s just happy to be here. You can follow him on Twitter and Instagram at @moybien1212.

At this point you guys have probably heard a million preludes to what eventually becomes a pitch on why you need to buy some sweatpants. But here’s the thing, everyone already knows that sweatpants are essentials, self-isolation or not. Two camps have emerged when it comes to at-home style, the “nothing matters on Zoom anyways, so we should all just lean into the casual revolution” camp and the “been had sweatpants, been dressing like a louche heir to a medium-sized fast food franchisee’s empire so long the HR person sent me a ‘business casual primer’ email” camp. I have been squarely positioned in the latter, but I’m not particularly hung up on how you’ve come to the realization that you need more sweatpants in your life because even if we take different paths, we often end up at the same destination. And that’s all that matters.
