I wasn't expecting that...

All of my gym clothes except my über short running shorts need to be washed, but I still want to go to the gym after work, so I went shopping over lunch. I've never been much of a sweatpants wearer, but the temperatures are dropping so I thought I'd give sweatpants a try.

I'm at work, so I need to skip the story telling and get straight to the point. Swedish sweatpants are not baggy! Yes, I did try on multiple sizes to make sure it wasn't just me. I know Swedish men like their tight-fitting clothes, but every once in a while something like this provides a shocking reminder that this really is a foreign land.

In case you're wondering, I bought a pair. I'm trying to talk Miranda into turning this into a Swedish fashion blog (all the rage here over here), and if she agrees, a picture of these sweatpants might find its way into a future blog post.

If I recall... Pete Hoyem had a pair of darker aqua-green sweatpants in college that we lovingly called "sweatdex." However, Pete's were not fashionable. Just old and tight.
