Cheese Steaks And Sweat-Suits Not A Good Look
A colleague was showing off Philadelphia to her future daughter-in-law a few years ago when the visitor looked around the Italian Market and came to the sort of realization that makes marketers a fortune.“This,” Kara Wiegand said, “has got to be the sweat-suit capital of the world.”
Remember how the Ringling clowns are going to order steaks “circus-style”? Well, we’re already there. Surely you’ve noticed how garish and ridiculous the holy land of cheese steaks appears as you walk to, or by, for the hardier of souls? Most of the clientele already look clownish, and the act of stooping over a steak is hardly graceful, but it’s freakishly endearing all the same. What is not so cute? Doing it all in sweats, even if they’re from AA and you own them in eggplant and mint.
“No, sweat is not the intention of sweat pants.”
Look, we don’t want to know. Just stop it already.

i was just a little surprised when i joined a south philly gym and no one was wearing sweats (or dress-sweats)… no, they wear their jeans to the gym. it’s mind boggling.

Mom sez: No, a Juicy tracksuit is NOT appropriate eveningwear. No, not even if you wear heels with it. Promise.
