Velour Tracksuit

Research Question:
Is a velour tracksuit appropriate apparel to wear in public today?

Methods and Materials: 
The materials for this experiment consist of one dark blue, size M cotton/poly blend velour track suit, obtained at least eight years ago. One pair of wool socks. One dark blue cami. One pair of Vans sneakers.

The data was collected by Googling "how to wear a velour tracksuit" and "how not to wear a velour tracksuit", then disregarding the links dedicated to selling velour tracksuits.

Results:
Two websites (The Grindstone and Between My Peers) indicated that velour track suits are not appropriate work apparel.
One website (Be Vancouver) claimed they were "ugly".
Two websites (Diva Village and Be Vancouver) indicated that one should not wear sparkly jewelry nor high heels with them.
All websites at least implied that velour tracksuits are comfortable, if possibly aesthetically unappealing, and appropriate to wear for causal errands.

Conclusion: 
As the experimenter is wearing a velour track suit with sneakers to go shopping at Goodwill, this is in fact appropriate apparel for the situation. Further research regarding the effects of wearing high heels or sparkly jewelry with them may be possible in the future, if funding for such items can be obtained.
