Foreword: I am not condoning the wearing of ill-fitting sweatpants in public, in fact, I think most men should never, ever wear sweat pants in public. But if you are going to do this – you need to buy good sweatpants. If Thom Browne says we can wear sweatpants, why can’t we? Yes this basically, means you have to spend $$$. Besides, if Thom Browne says we can wear sweatpants, why can’t we?
Enter Matthew Davies and Twyford. First created in 2013 with a vision to design comfortable yet sophisticated sweatpants (yes this seems like an oxymoron but lets go with it), Twyford aims to make a better sweatpants. Do they succeed?
Yes, the structured sweatpants avoid the pitfalls of most sweatpants through clever design and slimmer cuts. They may look sophisticated and be comfortable but this is not an excuse to wear them everywhere. Trust me. It’s a slippery slope from laid back sophisticated to scally. If you are style amateur, keep those sweatpants for the gym only. For the rest of us, incorporate these into your wardrobe as a new staple – especially the moto pair.
