Actress Eva Mendes said to TV's Extra that the "No. 1 cause of divorce in America is sweatpants," according to an ABC News report. ?fit=960%2C9999
The 41-year-old has a 6-month-old daughter with actor Ryan Gosling, and said regardless of how much sleep she gets, she won't be letting Gosling catch her in sweats.
She also told Extra that raising her daughter has given her a new appreciation for motherhood.
Mendes later apologized to her favorite pair of sweatpants on her Instagram account, and went on to blame orange Crocs as the real No. 1 cause of divorce. http://www.ktuu.com/eva-mendes-sweatpants-no-1-cause-for-divorce/31912328

(20,834 posts)They've branched out into pretty much every field of athletics, gotten shorter, added color, fought off a hard charge from short denim shorts last summer, but it still seems to be the fitness clothing to be seen in while doing casual stuff or (gosh) working out. So yes sweatpants you are now second class casual wear, but that's only until the cycle turns. It wasn't that long ago you were king and like your fashion friend the bell bottoms your time will come again.

Sea Captain: I don't see why he doesn't give up and go for sweatpants.
Japanese Restaurant Owner: He says the crotch wears out too fast.
Sea Captain: YARR!!! That's gonna replace the whale in me nightmares.
