Alexander Wang Geometric Sweatpants: Love It or Hate It?

Hammer don't hurt 'em.

Hammer don't hurt 'em. OK, these Alexander Wang Geometric Sweatpants, ($395) aren't exactly like the ones MC Hammer wore back in the day, but they come in a close second. We know Wang's all about the '80s, but these pants take it to the next level. I don't know what I'm more baffled by: the old school print or the questionable silhouette. Do you love it or hate it?

Trend Alert: Sassy Sweats

I feel like it was only yesterday I was frustrated with celebrities who wore sweats while carrying their designer handbags — sorry, so not Fab.

I feel like it was only yesterday I was frustrated with celebrities who wore sweats while carrying their designer handbags — sorry, so not Fab. Luckily, those days are pretty much over, but with sassy sweats on the rise, I may have to accept the trend. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about some sassiness when walking Annabelle around the 'hood or going on a hike, but there's a time and a place. Sweatshirts can be an adorable ode to Jazzercise, case in point: Bosworth in her faded lavender Harlow sweatie running errands in LA. Denim shorts and quirky loafers prevent her from being too sloppy or '80s. Let's get physical, physical . . .

Get your butt in Gear: Yo-Ga Girl Sweats

I keep talking about the virtues of yoga and that it is not just about getting a nice booty.

I keep talking about the virtues of yoga and that it is not just about getting a nice booty. But let's admit it - that is definitely a perk.

Why not show off your toned backside in these "Yo-Go Girl" comfy sweats and hoodie. They're great for class, running errands, or chilling out on the sofa. Maybe knowing that your backside is advertising exercise might just get you off your bum and active. Plus you are already dressed for practicing. So why not just Strike a Pose.

Shvitz

Don't Sweat. Shvitz!

For chic, stylish sweats and other comfort wear, look no farther than Shvitz, an ultra-hip boutique that opened six weeks ago in New York's SoHo shopping district.

For chic, stylish sweats and other comfort wear, look no farther than Shvitz, an ultra-hip boutique that opened six weeks ago in New York's SoHo shopping district. Named for the Yiddish word for "sweat," Shvitz was founded by the lovely Leslie Hall and Nicole Slavitt, who I am proud to know. Leslie decided to open the shop when she realized the only place she could find fun matching sweatsuits was at LA-based online stores Kitson and Shop Intuition.

Sales are already skyrocketing at the energetic downtown shop, where everything is black, white, or pink and the candy flows like water. Shvitz is the ultimate score in trendy, high-end sweats and girly sportswear from designers such as Juicy, Rebel Yell, Joystick, Made U Look, and Torn. It's also the only store in the area that carries the great knitwear from Primp. To learn more about what Shvitz offers, read more
