Be it for the good cause of having a better lifestyle (more sporty items means more time and greater willingness to exercise), or simply to look active and more energetic with activewear (always opt for the first, ladies!).

As odd as it might sound, wearing sweatpants as an everyday pants is becoming trendy!

Sweatpants, also known as tracksuit bottoms, are casual variety of soft trousers intended for comfort or athletic purposes, although they are now worn in many different situations. Tracksuit bottoms are usually made from cotton or polyester, and the chief characteristic distinguishing them from other athletic pants is the elastic band located around the waist.
