Sagging Pants Fashion


In past several years, sometimes I see young men showing off their underwear. I was told that this is a fashion imitating the people in jail who are not allowed to wear belts and pants are sagging. This looks totally uncomfortable for both wearing that fashion and people looking at them. My daughter told me that there was a boy in her class who wore pants in this way, and once his pants fell off completely when he was jumping. I really don't get this fashion. Especially they aren't wearing very special underwear or anything anyway.

Before men were wearing pants like that, I saw women showing off their thongs or whatever that was called by wearing very low cut jeans.  At least, that was better looking than men's underwear, but still it didn't look very nice either.

I think sometimes designers and trend makers run out of ideas and bring something very stupid. It is not very tasteful and it isn't very good looking, but then there are people who follow. This reminds me of the naked king story. The children's story about the king who wore nothing but pretending to be able see it because they told him that only fools can not see the fabric. Everyone pretending to see it because no one wanted others to think they were fools.

Is it only me who doesn't get this fashion?
