In 2008 President Obama said "laws banning the practice of wearing low-slung pants that expose one's underwear were "a waste of time". However, he did follow that up with the statement: "Having said that, brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What's wrong with that? Come on. Some people might not want to see your underwear. I’m one of them.”
The desire to show one’s underwear is something that I truly don’t understand, but this type of thing does make me reflect on the fad dressing I participated in during the years. In high school we had to wear tight white jeans (yes the boy’s wore them) and black pointed shoes. Talk about dumb looks, but we thought it was fantastic.
Then college - it was bell bottoms and tie-die shirts.
Later on I remember thin ties, wide wide lapels, and knotted ties that looked like a horse collar.
Today, I see a lot of my generation simply wearing sweatsuits. By the look of a lot of them, it is not that they work out in the gym.
So I guess, other than the fact that wearing your pants so low does look uncomfortabel, it is no different than a lot of things I’ve done in my life. Think it’s a good idea to look back on what we did before we judge what others are doing. Just Sayen
