First let me say, in my day there were plenty of ridiculous styles that are so laughable today, and we can dwell on those if you like.

However, what inspired me to write this is, IMHO, the "ridiculous" way that young men wear their trousers hanging halfway down their ass.

At school, we had to revise the dress code to include that because undergarments are not allowed to be showed. We have plastic twist type belts that we give to those kids (naturally they hate it). One time a kid actually had his pants fall down they were hanging so low.

Yesterday, while grocery shopping I see this young man (about 20ish) walking out of the store and I swear to God his pants, even with a belt, were literally "mid-ass". How in the heck do you walk like that? There must be a trick. I see these very young boys with pants about 3 sizes to big and have to laugh.

Ah, the jocks and posers at my school do this, and I hate it. :p Some bastard walks by my desk with his goddamn underwear in my face. PULL YOUR PANTS UP. You're not fooling anyone.

It's supposed to be PHAT! COOL!

It's outright disgusting!

I don't need to see your ass or your underwear! Keep them inside your 5X too big for your body pants, damn it!

It's almost, not quite, but almost as bad as the girls who wear the low cut jeans with the thong sticking out from them. Then if they catch you looking, they give you a dirty look like you are some kind of a pervert or something! And the best part is then they try to pull up the back of their jeans to cover the thong! If you don't want me to look at your thong sticking out of your jeans, then cover it up! You knew damn well what you were doing when you put that thong and those low cut jeans on this morning!

But the pants 5x too big hanging below the ass with the boxers sticking out have got to be outlawed!

I don't know about everyone else's area, but in mine, it's the "thing" to wear pajama bottoms. While, you are covered, it's still against school rules. We've had to send kids home or have them call home for regular clothes. They look at you like "are you crazy?" ha ha..They've even come with pajama bottoms and slippers.

I gotta draw the line here!!
What's wrong with that?? :p

And I never said anything about outlawing that kind of thing.

On some woman it happens to be a beautiful thong, eh, err, I mean thing!

Ya gotta read between the lines sometimes Geoff!

Yes DC, girls' styles can be just as outrageous. What amazes me is the young age at which they dress provacatively and I have to wonder if their parents saw them leave the house.

We've had incidents of young girls (keep in mind my school is 6th, 7th & 8th grade)wearing unbelieveably lowcut tops showing way too much cleavage. The really unfair part is, IMHO, you can have a well developed girl and she gets busted (no pun intended :p ), but you have a slender, more flat chested girl wearing the same shirt and chances are she'll slide by.

I'm not for every dresscode rule my school enforces (i.e. no midriff tops, tank tops, skirts need to be mid-thigh at the shortest). My feeling is, if your boobs or ass aren't hanging out, and no underwear showing, it's okay with me.

TIS

TIS, what is the age group of the kids in your school?

Man, I'd love to know what you wear to school everyday! Especially after downing three or four of those cute little blue drinks! How many times have you worn the low cut jeans with the thong sticking out TIS?


Don Cardi

Only 11, 12 & 13! However a small percentage of retainees who may be 14 or even 15. After 15 however, they wouldn't be allowed in middle school and would go to a continuation school. It'd be pretty sad to be, at 16, driving to middle school.


TIS

DC,

The samples I gave were of some of my rules that I think shouldn't be barred for students, and not to be implied that I dress that way when I go to work.

I hate those baggy pants even when they are not half their ass. I mean why can't they wear straight jeans, those are more stylish.

But I think as long as it is not going to go against a dress code for safety it should be allowed. A person's dressing is part of their personality. That way it is easier to know people.

Awww Shucks! You burst my bubble TIS!


Don Cardi

Disgusting?

Some people are showing their age here. Ironically (though not surprisingly) it isn't the thread-starter.

I can't understand how anybody could do that. Never mind why, there are many things people do that I don't understand, but it's the practicality of the thing that gets me. You'd have to walk with your knees and thighs slightly foward, in order for gravity not to take hold and pull the pants all the way down your legs.

Don't worry, as bad as it is for us to see those people wearing those dumbass poser pants, it's even worse for them - they have to keep them from falling off. :p

Sooo true. When I see these people walking down the street with their pants under their asses in pants 5 x too large for them, I always wonder when the pants will actually fall to the ground.

And the best ones that I've seen are when they wear Shorts that are 5 x their size and they pull them below their ass, and now the bottom of the shorts are hitting the floor! Why bother wearing shorts then? Just wear normal regular pants.

Wasn't there a case in Virginia recently where the state congress took a vote on fining people who had "visible underwear?" I believe it was shot down viciously, but I do remember some national coverage of it.

While I think a young masculine boy showing off his rock hard abs and telling me what color his Nicole Miller boxer-briefs can be a somewhat disheartening gesture to this poor, old, confused soul, it's even worse having to complain about my fellow geezers out there. Having to see my fellow man having pants so tight and pulled up against his chest area, that an outline of his wrinkled testicles begin to seep through those feces filled diapers make me yearn for the sight of young lad in his puffy cargo pants.
I don't need to see the effects of aging and how far a man's member can go before scraping against the floor. I can easily look down at my own pulled taffy and see how sad my existance as a human being has become. Do you realize how sad it can be to peer down and not recognize that half-anteater half-elephant snout that hangs between your legs? So next time you complain about all the young kids and the way they dress, think about having to see something resembling a deformed banana and smooshed meatballs between the legs of us older individuals.

TIS, I am amazed at what some kids wear. First of all, do some of them not own mirrors? I'm talking about girls who wear low-slung jeans with short shirts and their bellies hanging out, which might be a sexy look if they were a size 5, but I'm talking about girls with a serious weight problem. Instead of a sexy midriff, there's just a big old roll of flab hanging over. GROSS!

And the boys with the big ol' clothes just crack me up. It's too stupid for words. And what is the seeming obsession with things with skulls on them?

I, too, wonder where their parents are when they leave the house. I mean, I can see an older teen that buys their own clothes sneaking around in outfits that don't meet their parents approval, but a 12 year old? Is a 12 year old taking themselves off to the mall, paying for their clothes themselves, and leaving the house without their parents knowledge? If they are doing all of these things independently, then they have pretty crappy parents.

Despite the fact that I'm a high school student and I hang around these people all day, I would have to agree with these posts. The stuff the guys wear, or just go about presenting themselves usually makes them look stupid. Though they look like they need either a belt a few yards long or a pair of trousers that won't fit Santa Clause loosely, it's supposed to be cool and it seems to be encouraged by today's media. Some of the stuff the girls wear make them look trampy. Reminds me of Bill Maher's broadway thing Victory Begins at Home where he quoted: "I feel sorry for the whores in this country" basically saying it's hard to determine who is and who is not a real whore.

I have my Sinatra style, and I'm sticking to it.

I think the better question you should be asking yourself was how the heck could people go to the bathroom back in the "Kris-Kross" days!? For those who aren't familiar with the "Kris-Kross" days, it was when people wore their clothes backwards, shirts, pants everything

SB I think it comes down to parents not being parents. If the kids complain enough parents give in and let them do it just so that they don't have to hear them. i'll be damned if my son or daughter ever left the house looking the way these kids do. As most of you know, I personally do not even own a pair of jeans, and when I did they were worn around my waist

Pardon my french here but I personally think too many girls (15-17) are just too EASY and do whatever they need to do to get attention, hence the whole thong showing thing (sidenote why in the world does a thong matter if you're going to have sex does it matter if you take off a thong, underwear or some metal device? lol) I can only speak for myself but before I met my girlfriend any girl who showed interest in me and did not know that clothes were meant to COVER I could not even talk to. And besides if the girl is showing off everything before the date what's left to find out lol

yeah I know that was bad lol

I know what you're talking about, but the kids who do that are the ones who will lead a horrible career, never get into a good college, and assume the words "******", "homo", and "gay", to be synonmous with "incoherent", "hypocrisy, and "ignorance". Not the coolest of kids. They all piss me off.

I prefer my ass in my pants.

Amen to that! I get the whole gay-hating shit at school all the time. It doesn't help any that I live in a town full of white trash biggots.

It's such idiocy when these imbeciles with their pants at their knees criticize others for wearing clothes that fit. :rolleyes:

Actually I'm kind of surprised by the agreement here on the pants issue. I thought I'd get more of the young kids defending the style.

Isn't it interesting all the styles that come and go, and in some cases come back again a second time? Most of them you'll look back on and say "I wore that?"


TIS

Well, speaking from past experience, I used to wear my pants like that. It's really not that hard. As a matter of fact, the pockets on the back of those jeans are down lower then regular jeans. That's all in the past for me now. Tight is the new me. And the pajama bottoms are tight. I could wear them with a pair of thong flip flops and t-shirt from Pac Sun. I could rock that shit!

Well, no one is saying that just because they don't wear their pants down to their ass doesn't mean they wear clothes that are tight as hell. I just wear clothes that FIT.

Oh that's the new rage from the runways of Paris to New York.

Such a trend setter! I'm sorry, this is just too ridiculous for me not to laugh at.

Well, I usually wear short sleve shirts with a mathing t-shirt inside and jeans or khakis.
Polo shirts are nice too (When they aren't 10x my size).

I try to be tasteful unlike one guy who had his underwear out with the new fashion.... Did I meantion he had a brown stain on them?

Alright, older posters, tell me this doesn't look good. I personally thought the clothing I wore was almost dress up type.
