I FEELGOOD in Whatever

     You may think that fashionable sweatpants in an oxymoron, but here on the North Shore we have found a way to make sweatpants a coveted item. The pictures to the right both show sweatpants both pairs serve the same function and yet one costs $80 and the other cost $10. Spoiler alert. Apart from color and the waist band the pants are the same. You might ask what do you get for the extra $70? For that you get a high class brand of sweatpants that you can wear to a North Shore high school without being looked down upon for wearing cheap sweatpants to school.
     This expensive brand of sweatpants are called FEELGOODS. The name itself tries to to tell customers that they will only "feel good" in these pants. All though the pants are essentially sweatpants they put themselves on a pedestal above regular sweats by simply changing their name. I mean who who chose pants you "sweat" in when you could "feel good" for $70 more?
     This speaks to our society's constant want for better things. If people can not strive for something "better" then why would they continue to work. The lower class of the U.S. makes up most of our manual labor force and to keep them working the upper class dangles their lifestyle in front of them. Jealousy is a constant driving force within society. Is the difference between the upper and middle class just as small as a pair of pants?
