Topic: The "Traceur" Look

[TheBigLOL]

Oh yeah, I'm rocking it with some Big Red clown shoes, pink skinny jeans with the butt cut out, a tee shirt that's 4 sizes too small and shows my fat belly, and an orange construction cone on my head.

Summer/Spring: Light sweats + zip hoodie, no shirt OR Light sweats + short sleeve shirt.
Fall/Winter: Heavy sweats + short sleeve shirt + regular hoodie + beanie OR heavy sweats + Russian jailstripes sweater + beanie.

Rarely in the wintertime, I'll go in shorts and no shirt for shits and giggles/"mentality training."

Okay, Guys, for those of you who prefer the style.... I just have to ask...what is it WITH the "pants on the ground" look? You know, the crotch of the sweatpants hanging at the knees, the waistband sitting UNDER your bum and your brand-name boxers hiked up to your waist. For regular street fashion, I get it, it's a controversial trend that will only end when your grand-dad adopts it or it's available at Baby-Gap.... but for an active sport like parkour!?!.... I keep looking at the one dude in our group and thinking...this will end badly...

Have any of you had any wardrobe malfunctions that have resulted in near-death parkour experiences?

[DevintheNinja]

To answer you question linda, Nope no accidents due to wardrobe.and I sag my sweatall the time with the pants pulled up over my calf. But you wont see my underwear ever because I wear bball shorts under all my pants

Lol, I learned to think about why some kids that grow up with that look dress like that. Like on the first page of this topic, it's with the fact that everyone dresses according to their occupation, how they live, etc.

Huge t-shirts with baggy pants, things like that, I started realizing that it usually comes to, (not going to stereotype), kids with a low salary family. It has to do with buying clothes a couple sizes bigger because the person wearing it will eventually grow bigger but still be able to wear those same clothes. Some people might get attached to that style and clothe themselves like that for the rest of their lives, or just do that to look intimidating.

Plus, it's WAY more convenient to go to the restroom with your boxers at the ready.

Id rather wear my pants baggy then wear girl pants like most of the kids noeadays

[Kendy]

I tried em once, wore them a couple times, and I have to ask,

How do they not get MASSIVE wedgies?

I'm sticking to straight cut jeans.

[Kyle Rudolph]

Rockin' it all day err day.

[Kendy]

I think it's funny how it says OP in the background of that picture.

[Spencer Young]

For now, I just rock my sweats and T-Shirt and My Gi pants, But I think I can pull this style off. Because I'll Parkour in my normal clothes if I got too. Just Change shoes.

Ok here's another question, do you wear your style for everthing else or just for parkour? Because people including my parents ask me why I wear sweats and stuff every single day.
my parents just want me to wear jeans like a normal person but I can't stand them anymore. I have no clue what else to wear. So I just wanted to hear all of your opinions.

Have you tried BDUs (battle dress uniform) or paratrooper fatigues for pants? They are really comfortable and give a wide range of motion, have a ton of "not in the way" pockets, and look like cargos. I love mine.

I don't wear sweats every day. I wear APK Capri's a lot and basketball shorts and Gi Pants. I party and go to class in what I train in though.

Hi Devin,

Just curious to know what you mean by "girl pants"...skinny jeans maybe? or Lu-lu lemons?

Saw that once, guy wearing skinny jeans attempting the low-riding crotch at knees look...all I could think was..OMG..fashion victim...unless he did, indeed, have a massive wedgie and was attempting to relieve the pressure...

[DevintheNinja]

Yes linda Im talking about skinny jeans. What's sad is I see them wear the skinny jeans and sag them.

[tibo]

I go for David Belle style
Especially in Banlieue 13 (Ultimatum too)
Sweat/Track pants and a singlet basically.

Kyle, I love you love of pokemon. You have inspired me to pull out my old game boy again

I fight with that myself. Once I started wearing sweats to class because I might train afterwards it was all downhill from there. I tried to get back into jeans. I really did. But... Sweats are just so comfortable! Unfortunately, guys can get away with wearing sweats every day far easier than girls can. I've since found some capris that look nice but are comfortable and flexible. But when it gets a little cooler I'll still be wearing sweats two to three days a week.
