01/28 The Baggy Pants Debate

Quote From: cartilagecrown

So, basically you want laws to enforce dress codes to make sure everyone is presentable according to your standards.

 

Lets say I see an old lady with a huge woolly red and green santa-faced Christmas sweater, or a big, ugly, neon orange floral dress. Should I be able to ban ugly patterns and ill-fitting shoulder pads because I think that they make women look "ridiculous"?

 

How will police even enforce this? How baggy is too baggy? Will the police measure the amount of bagginess? I've seen guys wear pants about five times too big, (I dont even know how they get them to stay up) and I also know guys who get just a size or two bigger, so they have slightly baggy pants. Will the (hypothetical) law cover only REALLY baggy pants, or will anyone get fined for daring to wear their pants a size or two big? What if I'm feeling sick and I want comfortable, baggy pants and they're too baggy? What if some people just don't like tight pants?

 

I just wonder how people define these baggy pants. My boyfriend wears pants a size bigger just because he doesnt want them too tight on his waist. Theyre not really, really baggy, theyre only slightly baggy. The word baggy sounds weird after a while when I think about it a lot.

 

Yes, people need to choose their own clothes.

"Bigron" had this to say "The bottom line is people who wear baggy pants present themselves as uneducated, no parent supervision and most of all look like an idiot. If they spent half the time looking for a job as they did by pulling up their pants I guess I wouldn' fault them. " What a crock!!! My son is a high school senior who wears baggy pants. While I do not like the trend, I do not draw unfair conclusions such as the one you mentioned above. My son is very interested in his education and he works, in retail. He got the job dressed on his appearance because he brings in more young people. He will be attending college in the fall and is very career-oriented..(he also uses spell-check, you should too.) If you can't find your size in pants, which seems to be your main problem, then shop somewhere else. I have no problem finding size 36 for my son who actually wears a size 34.

Thank you! The fashion police can not be allowed! Just because someone thinks they look "ridiculous" is no reason to ban them. I find mullets and tatoos and fake body parts to be ridiculous but I don't want them banned. To each his own! The constitution says that you have a right to Liberty. If we ban "baggy" jeans, we will be banning the liberty to wear what we please and we would only be increasing the censorship that plagues the streets of the United States of America.

If your boyfriends pants are "Baggy" and he wears them like that because he doesnt want to be uncomfortable...then umm that makes no sense and is a cop out. If he wore his pants to "fit" they would be neither tight nor baggy...they would fit...duh...
