It's a sunk cost if your exercise clothes aren't suitable for whatever things you were going to do other than exercising, such as going to work.
In my view, if your exercise clothes aren't suitable for whatever else you were going to do, then you aren't exercising particularly well. If the point of exercise is to strengthen the body and thus prepare it for potential adverse circumstances, isn't it best to wear that which you wear under normal circumstances so that your training matches reality as closely as possible?
Because that is not the only possible point. Looking better and feeling better and living longer are often more important ones.
Quite frankly I don't expect to ever encounter adverse circumstances. I live a safe modern urban life.
I agree, that comment was written during a somewhat silly period of my life. :)
Well, I do find that exercising regularly helps me e.g. run to catch a bus I'm about to miss without gasping for breath. But then again, I needn't be dressed the same way when I exercise and when I run to the bus to get this effect.
But if you cannot catch a bus in 30 secs you cannot catch it. So this is something like a very beginner level of HIIT.
Just for the record I once missed a bus, ran after it and succesfully got on on the next stop. So technically you are wrong here. This is very extreme outlier though.
