Anyways...
I started noticing that when we were in Amsterdam, there were so many people wearing tracksuits. Like the adidas ones. I understand that they are comfortable and look alright, not great but alright, but I really don't understand why the entire tracksuit at one time.
This might be a weird thing, but it seems like the tracksuit is the business suit of the athlete. I think it may just be the top and bottom matching that I find slightly irritating. Back in my athletic days I never enjoyed being completely matchy matchy unless you had the really nice high quality tracksuits that actually looked good together. But, when I had the sweatsuits with hoodies and sweatpants I made it a point to never wear the matching ones because it just looks so silly.
Anyways, my noticing of the tracksuits happened the saturday morning that I was in amsterdam was the first time I really made it a conscious thing to notice all these tracksuits. I shared my findings with becky and sylvia and now we have this stupid game of pointing out adidas whenever we see it. It ends up being an average of 5 spottings at least everyday.
Maybe I have just never really thought about it before, because I didn't really notice how many people here in germany are dressing in a similar fashion. I will admit though there are many more complete track suits in Amsterdam.
I feel like everyone here dresses so nice that an adidas tracksuit is the very lowest level of bum you can go without wearing sweats and still remain socially acceptable.
