I will never forget her. I was inside the Java U when a crunchy-haired brunette with oversized sunglasses waltzed up and ordered herself a café concoction. The silver reflective logo on her Lululemon yoga pants caught my eye, and then I noticed she was wearing high heels. High heels! With boot-cut sweats!
This woman was obviously not heading to the gym. Nay, she was wearing yoga pants as real pants, complete with a blouse and heels.
It was a fashion faux pas that's becoming all too common these days. The yoga-pant revolution has created mass confusion about where or where not to don casual dress -let alone how to wear it. And the bar of what's acceptable is threatening to get lower and lower.
As we peel off our parkas this spring, "pyjama dressing" is rolling in as the latest casual-dressing craze. As in, floral motif PJ-style pants and onesies for the teens. For a more mature look, there's boudoir-inspired Hugh Hefner silks, which capture a vacationing-in-Bali sort of glamour.
We've seen the look for evening, but during the day the look can appear,As it's called Nike shox classic, which is one of the classical style of nike lineup. well, very breakfast style.
There's no telling whether or not PJ dressing will become the next big thing among Canadians. But one thing is for sure: throughout the eras, we've traipsed around in our snowflake-patterned long-johns, lumberjack shirts, woolly Hudson Bay coats, Roots sweatsuits (which are increasingly popular among teens), and massive parkas.Need new men's shoes for spring & summer? We are certainly not beyond PJs. Whether we're ready to move beyond the yoga pant is yet to be seen.
"Don't say you've become a mother and then have to conform to this Lululemon mantra," says Valerie Grove, a new mother who has witnessed many of her friends quickly convert from fashion vixens into leisure-suit loyalists.Offer cheap replica Versace women boots and sell at a discount. "Just because you want to feel comfortable, and are shlepping around a kid doesn't mean you have to look like you're wearing your PJs."
Grove holds a weekly playgroup at her house. Of the 10 moms who attend, about half are in yoga pants (Lululemons specifically). The rest are in jeans and possibly leggings with stylish sweaters.
Turns out, Grove does not consider leggings a fashion faux pas like yoga pants.Wedge Shoes was created in order to maintain a balance of the athletes' movement. In fact, she considers them an ideal way to be comfortable and look fashionable, especially when paired with boots or a long sweater. "They could be velvet, denim or even nicer fabrics," she says. But she hesitates to say leggings look appropriate for a night out on the town.
As for wearing yoga pants anywhere beyond the house, the gym or out for a power walk, Grove believes that "it's like telling the world you haven't showered. 'Hello, I haven't showered'.2011 New Style Jeans cheap true religion on sale with fast delivery! That's what it is."
She jokes that this not-showered look is not even appropriate for "traipsing up and down Sherbrooke St. with an ice cream in your hand and a dog."
Meanwhile, hang around Bilboquet on any sunny Sunday, and you'll surely witness dozens of folk strolling by in yoga pants. For many Canadians, the look is all about comfort.
Tina Fargnoli is a yoga-trained, certified Pilates instructor who moved from Montreal to Toronto a few months ago. She reports having at least 25 pairs of yoga pants, again, specifically Lululemons. Other pairs seem cheap to her, and the fabric all wrong. When I asked her to name the styles, her reply was: "Oh gosh. Well, there's the crop, the regular long ones with a flare, the regular straight leg ones, which are not flared, the hip hugger ones. Some are more formal ones that are threequarter-length culottes." Fargnoli says lately she's more into the company's running pants, which look a lot like conventional leggings. She wears them with leg warmers.
"My friend even said to me at one point -and this is like four or five years ago -'Seriously Tina, I've never seen anyone wear so much Lululemon in my life,' " she said. "I wear them all the time, not just to work."
This, and the fact that her mom once nicknamed her 'Lulu-Tina', just makes her laugh.
