    Icon5 Implications of wearing your pants below your waist

    Young guys around here (17-18), how many of you do you wear your pants below your waist? I admit, I do wear mine below my waist. (I make sure my shirt doesn't show my underwear though)

    But how far would you "old guys" consider this is rude and it is a fashion faux pas, as some would have put it? There is increased confort (at least in my case) by wearing your jeans and pants beyond your waist.

    Is it rude or is it okay to wear like this?

    I started doing this when I was 15 back when Menace II society came out and hip hop was still cool and different. I liked the look and figured I could get away with it since I'm brown. I allways concidered it to be part of the whole black ghetto style wich would make you look cool and hard and more of that nonsense (yeah I was an idiot teen)

    Now I don't really care, I know people do it when they have expensive designer underwear, you know those boxershorts that have this part that's suposed to stick out when your pants are below the waist and have the designer logo in huge bold letters on them? Those are ment to be shown, when I was younger it impressed me, now I think: Oh look, another insecure show off who likes to pretend he has lots of money so he can impress people he doesn't know....

    Having lived in the ghetto (I guess I still do...) I can tell you that was media hype...

    The kids who were dirty (doing something illegal, i.e. selling drugs) didn't wear their pants like that because it made it harder to run from the police...

    All the suburban kids who saw hyped up movies started doing that stuff and...a fashion is born...lol

    Other ghetto fashions:

    Shoes that don't need laces: Why? Because everytime you get locked-up they make you take out your laces...if you're just going to a county/city jail for a day or two you're most likely not getting the jumpsuit/flip flops...so it's better to have shoes (in jail) that provide stability/support...you don't want to be caught up in something in jail and your shoes keep slipping off...lol

    Wearing shoes without lacing them up: Why? To save time...a person may have an insignificant warrant or something and figure if they got caught they'd be out of jail quickly...lol <--- if anyone wants to look...hard...or like they break the law......wear shoes without laces...

    I think it looks stupid. In fact it is stupid.

    I saw a guy in the supermarket the other day and his pants were literally below his ass, at the top of his legs.

    Huh?

    I suppose I grew up in the 70s and 80s - 70s nothing to be ashamed of, but the 80s - pretty embarrassing - at least we pulled our pants up.

    Lol I'd rep you if I could!


    I grew up in the 80's and 90's the low pants thing started somewhere during the 90's I guess.


    I had a short phase of wearing my pants like that. Then I got older and started making fun of people doing it!

    One time I was walking with a friend and 2 woman walk pasts us and one had her pants extremely low, so I said in a loud voice: "Did you see that? Poor woman is so poor, she can't even afford a belt!" I've never seen someone get red and pull her pants up that fast!

    Wearing your pants below your waist is signalling a lower than average IQ.
    The common culture of a tribe is a sign of its inner cohesion. But tribes are vanishing from the modern world, as are all forms of traditional society. Customs, practices, festivals, rituals and beliefs have acquired a flut and half-hearted quality which reflects our nomadic and rootless existence, predicated as we are on the global air-waves.

    Hold on a moment there boof... I remember the 70's, fashion was on some crazed drug-trip hangover from the 60's. We had Flares, Platform shoes, High-waisters, wing collars, kipper ties, permed hair for men and cray-zee colours.

    Here is some 70's leisure wear...


    Are these guys really looking for girls?

    It's okay to wear in any style you like. It's very rude to call people stupid or "rude" something just because they prefer different clothing style, though sometimes I do that myself too

    Well, I don't know, some fashions are just pointless and stupid. What else do you call them?

    I mean, how long before kids start wearing underpants outside their pants, superhero style.....or start wearing big pants like this:
