There's something disturbingly similar about "critics", no matter where they come from or which field they pretend to excel in. Most of them are deeply disillusioned about their own intellectual superiority and extraordinary observation skills and to prove it they love to compile their annoying top ten lists.
This time, the self proclaimed fashion critic Vivian Song, writer for the online magazine MSN Travel branded Vancouver as third most unfashionable city in the world. The reason? Yoga pants. That's right! She based her verdict almost solely on her findings, that many locals like to walk around in the yoga pants.
True enough, the West-Coasters enjoy the casual apparel, which in a sense somehow compliments their overall laid-back lifestyle. They’ve discovered long time ago, that a running shoes and t-shirts are by miles more comfortable than the high heals and business suits and - good on them. Although, I have my personal beef with people showing up at the evening in the opera in the hiking boots and lumberjack shirts, but perhaps it's just me, being too judgemental.
But back to the yoga pants. What's wrong with them? What did they do to be singled out as such an unacceptable piece of attire? As the matter of fact, I find them highly inspirational. I believe they posses a magical power to evoke some vivid ideas about all kinds of different physical activities, therefore they’re beneficial for our overall health. Providing, they're not worn by a short, sweaty middle age men (or women – not to discriminate) with the pants waistbands over 48. That's where I draw the line!
Happy yoga-panting!
