Baggy pants have been around forever, but thugs didn't start pulling their pants down until the mid/late 90's.

I say let them wear their pants around their ankles if they want. Cops have pointed out that it's easier and kind of entertaining to chase down thugs who wear this fashion.

Who wants to go teen-tipping?

Rachel is my hero

It has lasted this long because it is hot.

chaz, it's because they want to oppress you!

Shouldn't have to see what, exactly?

Does this mean that I can skip out on my plumbing bill by having the fucker arrested?

Does my girlfriend have to wear her burqa to the beach too? Is her Burqini too hot for mortal eyes?

I like it. Makes it easier to pull the guys pants down and let him have it right up his ass. QUICK EASY ACCESS!!!

Dumbest law suggestion ever for the dumbest fashion trend ever.

Like anything else "the kids" do. If you tell them it's wrong they'll just want to do it more. If they were smart the city councel would all start wearing their pants the same way then the kids would think it's dumb and move on to something else like two different colored socks or something.

My question is, why has this not caught on with hot teen GIRLS? In conjunction with thong underwear, say? And please, ladies -- no fatties. Only the hot ones.

Monkey is on to something...Only it's "council," no "counsel." Sorry, I just can't let errors go.

Those clowns look like they've taken a huge dump in their pants.

I'm looking at it and I don't really see what the big deal is. Baggy hides the curves and shows off boxers that basically hide more than hot pants. you could see better 'man-ass' to paraphrase, if they wore normal jeans.

While I wholeheartedly agree that uber-baggy pants are a crime against fashion, outlawing them would be the height of stupidity. That would only add to the rebel cred.

Now about the red hanky hanging out of his pocket...

{digs out gay hanky code manual}

The consensus is that it's "hot" and guys like it so.... it just figures in that it will go out of style for thugs as soon as gays claim it. Duh. I can't wait. That kid looks ridici-donkeylous. I'd rather see it on a gay guy. thugs are dumb.

Fnarf @8:
Good news - it has caught on with hot girls! If you ever visit Belltown Billiards, Venom, Cowgirls Inc, or any of the other clubs you want to shut down, you'll see plenty of this.

Dress codes are xenophobic. Designed to keep a particular race or class of people out.

Now to be clear on this picture.

1) the only kids who sag that low and wear khakis (sp?) with a red bandana are Bloods. Needless to say most kids that sag arent bloods so the pic is a little off.

2) sagging doesnt seem to be that low any more except for old school gang bangers. Unless in a gang, kids that dress in that baggy style dont wear khakis.

3) kids are wearing the long white t shirts with the big caps. The pants are not worn as low as shown in this pic.

The trend has changed, though still baggy, it is now more focused on the t shirt rather than the pants. This is an image of a Blood. prolly a piru, who cares, but my point is that Charles is a little off here. By showing an obvious lil banger, it creates an image for mainstream society that all kids who sag have that style. The style has changed quite a bit.

Sean, that's not what I meant. That's not sexy. The waistband of the jeans fastened well BELOW the crotch, like the boy in the picture -- that's what I want to see. Only on hot girls. And not in some skanky boom-boom club, either -- out on the street. Hmm, possibly splayed out on the hoods of parked cars. Oh, yeah.

SeMe @15:
I've always assumed that the dudes wearing saggy pants are most likely gang bangers, unaffiliated thugs, or thug wannabes.

Am I wrong?

Fnarf @16
Well, another good place to spot thongs, not to mention cleavage and upskirts, is on the playgrounds. Moms are always bending over, crouching, crawling around, and otherwise contorting themselves as they fuss with their kids.

Not sure if the MILF/Cougar thing does it for you, but hey, I'm just trying to help.

Youre wrong Sean. Sagging started with a thug flavor of kids wanting to look like inmates. sagging. Funny enough the inmates who wear baggy clothes are the new fish who get all the clothes that's too big for them and have no belts. True thugs in the joint are "styling.

Sagging than became fashion. Hip hop fashion. Gangstas and gangbangers ( like the blood in the pic) wear more obvious clothing.

Thugs and dealers dont always sag.

All I was saying was that kid is a blood. And the style has changed. Like I said, its more focused on the long t shirts now.

Can we just ban stupidity? That would take care of guys who wear baggy pants and councilmembers who have nothing better to do on the city's dime.

I say let it go ...

But if they do pass it. The revinue they collect should go towards buying belts

My favorite is when I see kids in my 'hood (Rainier Beach) wearing the huge sagging pants, the enormously long t-shirt that goes down to their knees, and then a merely oversized hooded sweatshirt that only goes down to their ass ... the end result being remarkably like little hippie girls wearing hoodies over a dress over jeans.

I repeat: LITTLE HIPPIE GIRLS! Surely not the intended idea, and totally unintentional hilarity.

I keep waiting for all these gangsta-wannabe RBHS kids to try to sell me hemp necklaces and phatty veggie burritos on the corner of Rainier and Henderson.

Sean @18: don't think I don't know it.

Almost as repulsive as the g-string over the low rise pants that the ladies had been sporting a while back EEEWWW!

haha, what a ridiculous notion. if they were to ever ban clothing, they should start with gang-affiliated shit, not a shotgun-attack at "baggy pants." and where have i been for all the women sagging THEIR pants, eh?! bring on the thongs.

mla, you feminist (or gay) bastard, how dare you condemn such a wonderful fashion.

I love it. ya it has been around for a long time but so have hippies.

But -B-, the hippies are changing too -- heard of Trustafarian Peacocks?

Then how come all I ever see anymore are guys wearing low-cut wanna-be-emo-rock-star-show-off-my-camel-toe girl pants?

Seriously though, looser jeans are more comfortable, especially if you don't have the perfect body, but not the ass hanging out kind.

@28 Because the skinnys are the hipster uniform, the loose-to-baggy the gangster uniform. It's less about fashion than it is about cultural identification.

Good point.

I hope they don't ban this. I need a good laugh every once in a while.

I especially love it when they wear a bandanna, a hat, *and* a hoodie with the hood up, all at once. That is ridiculous beyond compare.
