Thread: Sagging pants, your thoughts?

I think some public schools are banning "saggy pants" due to it's affiliation with gang related activity.

If someone walked into my office right this moment for an interview dressed like that I would throw them out so fast they wouldn't know what hit them.

Me too.........

Baggy pants might be fine for a hallowen party if you wanted to look like a gangsta, but its a non starter in the real world.

So this questions says a lot about me as well as employers across the entire nation? So what does it say?

I need to remind everyone that my sisters b/f and her friends b/f are in their 30s. We aren't talking about teens and I'm not talking about below the ass, just enough sag to make your statement.

I think its a matter of degree.. There's a difference between being fashionable and looking ridiculous... and 30 somethings should be able to ascertain the difference.

So you're trying to say most the population will sag their pants in the next 50 years?

I these are two totally different fashion statements. One is about womens freedom to express themselfs. The other is about ...

But if she draws the line somewhere, which I'm sure she will, then you should be able to lead her to the conclusion that walking around with your pants around your ankles violates her own sense of fashion.

Ok thanks, this gives me some more ammo.

No.. I am saying that there's a time and place for everything.. and the "extremes" are rarely acceptable.

Fashion history is a fun subject... Pants halfway down you butt will pass and be replaced by some other fad... Its fun.. Unless you go to extremes .

What will they tell their grandchildren about the facial tattoos and piercings? That is another "extreme.

I don't really care one way or the other about sagging...

I personally never got into it when it was prevalent in the 90's...

Baggy pants, sure, I always wore those, but, never really dug sagging...

At any rate, even at 7 years old, I tell my son to have some pride in his appearance, as people will, whether they should or not, judge you on how you look...

But, then again, I decide what he wears day-to-day anyway, but, I do get on him about keeping himself up...

I still, to this day, when I'm out, sometimes wear hoodies, baggy pants, etc., but, then again, I'm not in the market for a job, nor does it matter to me what anyone thinks about me...

I'm covered...

But, that's just me...
