Leisurewear: things like sweat pants, track suits, pajama pants, leggings. Out and about: anywhere you’re not immediately and obviously coming to/going from working out, or in the case of pajama pants, literally anywhere at all outside of your home.
It all is so declasse and even trashy. No we don’t dress as formally as they did in the 1950s, but being the tip of the spear of plunging standards by wearing Tweety Bird flannel pants grocery shopping or skin tight leggings out to dinner makes you uniquely classless.
If your behavior is driving the eradication of standards, yeah, your choices are bad.
Have some respect for yourself and others and throw on actual pants at least, even if you still must wear a hoodie with them. A collared shirt would be a bonus, but again, pants are the bare minimum here to seem respectable.
It’s ironic, because even wealthy people are doing it, especially leggings everywhere. But that’s the era we live in, where the wealthiest among us are often the most culturally vapid as well.

My husband is a big fan of the leggings, lol. I sort of agree, at least in the sense of agreeing there are ‘going out clothes’ and 'work clothes ’ and so on. But times change, and I’m really very glad for the expansion of what is acceptable and the demise of enforced clothing styles as part of enforced gender roles and class roles and so on.
I don’t know if OP is old enough to remember when fashion was so rigid that I could wear blue nail polish and get literal gasps of shock from old ladies; IMO what we have now is better.
Just dress to your own standards and leave everyone else to dress how they want. Declasse is a fantastic word though.
