The consensus these days is that lounge pants are passable in public. You might wear them while walking the dog, picking up items for dinner at the supermarket, or hosting a casual get-together on your deck.In some cases, this “slouchy” apparel may even be worn on the job. Of course, that depends on the nature of the pants as well as where you work. If you have a pair of stretchy yoga pants that could pass for dress pants, you just might feel comfortable wearing them to the office.
