What every professional man should wear to work...
Business Insider

*Sweatpants are getting fancier, and more and more men are starting to wear
them to work.* Tapered sweatpants, called jogger pants, were last spring's
hottest trend in menswear
<http://www.businessinsider.com/jogger-pants-are-taking-over-menswear-2014-8>.
At the time, most men were wearing them casually with sneakers and t-shirts.
A year later, nearly every men's clothing retailer is selling jogger pants,
and the styles and materials have been trending more upscale. On retail
websites and in-store displays, models and mannequins are now shown wearing
the pants with dress shoes, blazers, and cardigans. *The men's sweatpant,
it appears, has not only graduated from the couch to post-gym lunch, but
also to the office.*
A recent downturn in denim sales is partly to blame for the newly-approved
versatility of the sweatpant, according to IBIS World analyst Will
McKitterick. "Fashion denim is cyclical," McKitterick told NPR
<http://www.npr.org/2015/04/08/397138654/for-the-modern-man-the-sweatpant-moves-out-of-the-gym?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20150408>.
"So it seems we're in a downturn period right now, and that's not too
surprising coming off the large amount of sales we've seen over the last 10
years."
Denim sales were down 6% last year, according to market research firm The
NPD Group.
The surging popularity of womens' yoga pants over the last several years
has also facilitated the dawning of fancy men's sweatpants. * Retailers
like Lululemon paved the way in showing women how to transition the tight,
stretchy workout pants to activities beyond the gym. It wouldn't be long
before men would want their own version. *
