I wear them if I have to wake up early for class and just don't give a fuck that day. In addition to all other valid uses in this thread.

I wear the typical sweatpants sometimes at night after I shower to hang out around the house. I also have a few "formal" pairs that I will wear to the grocery store or other crap like that, but I've given up...

I wear them almost exclusively when I work on my paintings though because I don't care if I ruin them.

I change into my sweat pants after dance rehearsals so that I can get home without being harassed. I don't look good in sweat pants either.

this. i don't get the hate for sweat pants.
You have diarrhea, AND gas, the irresistible urge strikes, telling you that you must be sitting on a toilet NOW! You make it into your bathroom, give the drawstring on your sweatpants a quick tug, and it somehow has managed to
tie itself into a knot that would secure a yacht.
Can you feel the hate now?

That's no problem; just use your sizorz.

I carry a knife most of the time. I do not fear knots; knots fear me.

I wear them around the house, e.g. for sleep, working out, various chores, etc.

I don't wear them outside unless it's for quick jaunts to buy milk.

I don't own sweat pants even though they are comfortable. I do wear shorts 90% of the time though outside of work.

Yes. A couple pairs. They're nice pajamas, or for sitting around drinking on a saturday morning.

Seriously. Who buys these? I can understand wearing them because you give up on life, but I don't understand buying them. When I give up on life, I don't feel like going out and buying clothes to reflect how bad I feel.

ummm wut? what's wrong with wearing them around the house on cold days or when you're talking a walk in the evening?

I own two pairs of sweat pants. One has a bunch of extra pockets and the other I wear when I go to the gym. They're mostly my "I don't give a fuck about today" clothes.

Sometimes wear them indoors when too broke to put the heating on.

Sometimes wear them under my trousers ('pants') when outside in subzero temps (a substitute thermal underwear, I guess). Is that wrong?

Would feel odd to go outdoors with them and no real trousers over them. Kind of like going outside in pyjamas.

I have a pair, but I only wear them around the house. I would never wear them in the out of doors.

I don't own any sweat pants. Never have, and never will.
I also don't wear hoodies(or whatever that trash is called) either.

I only have 2 simple sweat shirts(not sure if they are even considered sweat shirts or not) that I wear around the house when it's cold or wear it when mowing the lawn. One is gray and has the word "Airforce" in front, while the other is green and has the word "Russell" in front.
They were hand-me downs from my cousin 7 years ago and I still wear it till this day.

You will never see me step out of our property in those things. Never.

Yup, I'm wearing sweat pants right now. Got home from work, put on a comfortable pair, and cooked dinner. It's all about comfort. Zero fashion, though, which is why I don't wear them out of the house unless I'm working out or something.

Sweat pants are great for pond hockey too. Shin guards fit nicely underneath and it doesn't matter if you fall and they get ripped up.

They make great pajamas in the winter. That's about all I use them for though.

Got a pair of black ones on now.... I wear a uniform (white shirt-navy BDU's), and keep it clean, at the fire department for 50 + hours a week. When I get home at night or on the weekend, I don't want to give a fuck.....
