LOL NO ONE needs to wear a tie. A tie is fashion accessory just as surely as a pair of saggy jeans are. Neither serve a real purpose.

It's about as unflattering as its possible to be. Not for me definitely. Maybe there are girls that like saggy @rses I don't know.

Now as for the suit and tie, I'm not a big fan of that either but at least your are not risking tripping and smashing your face in when you walk, and some men do look extremely attractive in a suit and tie. And it doesn't look ridiculous. I'm more of a man in jeans girl myself. Just not of the baggy variety. Sagging pants are just plain WRONG. I think anyway the suit and tie thing is well on its way out. My husband works in a professional job and hasn't worn a suit and tie for about 10 years. Especially since moving to California. People here virtually turn up to work in their flip flops.

I still think the baggy saggy pants make guys look silly and immature. Wait! that's it! they want to be marked as irresponsible and not good genetic material for marriage and offspring.
Oh, it's all so clear now. They just want to be boy toys, and not taken seriously by the real world.
As if fashion or attraction can possibly be quantified. Think someone needs a hobby outside of trying to think for others...

Great. Folks want to emulate jailbirds.
Do you believe saggy pants are the only fashion to emanate from street culture?

A tie is a fashion accessory. Pants arent. Saggy jeans surely isnt considered a "fashion accessory". Its a fashion fad that looks hysterically hideous. I actually dont mind seeing it as it gives me a good laugh on my way to/from work while riding the subway here in NYC. I pray for the day for one of these idiots to start trouble or pick a fight with me. I'd probably die laughing watching him try to form a fighting stance with his pants around his thighs.

To me the statement is - I am poor- uneducated...not very intelligent and I am proud of being stupid.

Who's thinking for others? I said I cant speak for other women. That translates as "this is my opinion". What part of the sentence didn't you understand? Think someone needs a hobby outside of trying to second guess the meaning of a sentence.

How about a few years ago when the ghetto fashion trend was extra long t-shirts that resembled nightgowns. I would literally cry laughing when I saw this . Why even wear underpants if the bottom of your tshirt is midway between your shins and ankles?

Also, what's the deal with lensless frames? That stupid trend started in the early-mid 80's and now it's back. What's the point? I saw a guy once rubbing his eye thru the area where the lens is suppose to be. I just shook my head.

A couple of weeks ago I was sitting on a tram when this guy gets on and sits opposite me. His pants were so low he was literally sitting just on his underpants with his jeans round his thighs. All I could think was he looked like he was sitting on a toilet.

Yesterday I was with my kids at the park. There was this guy with sagging pants pushing his daughter on the swing. Except that he had to push his daughter with one hand and hold his pants to stop them falling down with the other (very loose pants). Then as he walked away, his pants did fall down. Hilarious.

In the summer I went to the beach. There was a group of teenagers nearby with the boys trying to impress a group of girls. All the boys had underpants on underneath their saggy swimming gear. One guy was constantly adjusting his pants up and down so he had just the right amount of underwear showing. The girls unimpressed went swimming with the boys following on in tow like sheep. Who goes swimming in two pairs of pants??

There is always a ton of stuff floating about on the internet / facebook ridiculing this fashion.
Here's a blog with some examples. I love the guy in the supermarket with the trousers round his ankles and the story about the burglar who was caught because of his pants.
Burglar Tripped Up By Sagging Pants | e-Forwards.com - Funny Emails

There have been stupid fashions in the past but to me this one is by far the stupidest.

Anyone else agree?
Actually, the pants below the butt fashion statement means I'm ready to be someone's bit** if you're in prison.

...just saying.

The long cotton T shirts are fine- they look like a robe...I like East Indian clothing...that long comfortable cotton in summer is great....BUT the pants....My father would flip out if you did not wear a belt..He was a military guy and posture was important...if he saw a fat kid with no belt- He would say - Get the kid a belt so he will at least be forced to hold his big gut in...Holding his abdomen firm would be the first step in getting into shape....The other thing my dad could not stand were those guys who wore construction boots with the laces undone and dragging along- He figured if you had laces- laces are to be laced- If you had pants - they fit around your waste......It's about order...and being in order....I won't leave the house with dirty hair or a wrinkled shirt...I do not go into public unless I am presentable...These guys are lazy and do not know how to present.

Seeing grown men wear a jacket in the middle of summer when it's 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity, IMO.
