Your reference to yoga pants/tights is amusing but you do know that yoga pants/tights aren't made of 100% nylon? They are made just like work out leggings which might have nylon as component. The key ingredient for tights these days is spandex and not nylon. > If you're talking about business-wear, it's probably because business-wear in general isn't very comfortable; men's suits are horribly uncomfortable tooa Men's suits made with wool are not uncomfortable unless we are talking extreme heat. They are silk lined and the wool is ultra fine. Is it as comfortable as cotton? maybe not.. but is for damn sure more comfortable than 100% nylon. I remember thinking men's biz wear was uncomfortable when I was younger and bought crap. > so I imagine women's business skirts and jackets are just as awful They are worse. I won't go into the details but women's clothing is more volume based than quality. Also almost all men's dress clothes are tailored and it is rare for women's clothes to be tailored. You know what is uncomfortable that is apparently casual these days is "skinny" anything. Skinny jeans are damn uncomfortable.

>Your reference to yoga pants/tights is amusing but you do know that yoga pants/tights aren't made of 100% nylon? Actually, no, I'm talking about tights, not yoga pants. If I had meant yoga pants, I would have written that. Tights are just thicker versions of women's pantyhose. >The key ingredient for tights these days is spandex and not nylon. Untrue; go look at the labels. Spandex is usually in the single-digit range as a percentage, and never more than 15% from what I've seen. I guess you could call it a "key ingredient" like egg is an essential ingredient many baked goods, even though it's a small portion of the overall volume, while the majority is wheat flour. But no one makes anything out of mainly spandex; it's added in as a small component for its extremely elastic properties. >You know what is uncomfortable that is apparently casual these days is "skinny" anything. Skinny jeans are damn uncomfortable. Tons of young people seem to disagree with you. Most likely, they have spandex added. It probably also helps a lot to not be fat.

  > Actually, no, I'm talking about tights, not yoga pants. If I had meant yoga pants, I would have written that. Tights are just thicker versions of women's pantyhose. Well I admit it seems I have mixed up the word tights. Apparently tights can mean hosiery. I meant the black pants you see around college campuses. They don't wear skirts with them but I suppose skirts can be worn. > I guess you could call it a "key ingredient" like egg is an essential ingredient many baked goods Yes that is exactly what I meant. They make cotton spandex leggings. > Tons of young people seem to disagree with you. Most likely, they have spandex added. It probably also helps a lot to not be fat. Hmm I'll make sure to put on my nylon spandex pajamas on tonight. When I google lounge wear there seems to be trend of things being"relaxed" fit... which seem to be loose. Even the term "relaxed" sort of implies comfort. The main reason why they put nylon in anything is to make the garment stronger and not for comfort.
