History of International Sweatpants Day
International Sweatpants Day has been celebrated since 2010. There is no exact mention of who or which organization has started such a celebration Day for sweatpants. However, this day is celebrated around the week closest to January 21st. It was created to make people understand that one need not necessarily feel embarrassed for wearing sweatpants. Being comfortable with clothes is not often celebrated, unlike this Day. The first pair of sweatpants was introduced by Émile Camuset, the founder of Le Coq Sportif, in the 1920s.
The sweatpants were simply knitted grey jersey pants initially that allowed the athletes to stretch and run comfortably. The sweatpants are usually heavy knit and made from cotton or polyester. They often have elastic in the waistband that adjusts for anyone and may or may not have pockets. Sweatpants are traditionally ash grey, however, they are now available in different colors. It is widely used in schools, sports, etc, as it is baggy and loose.
