I have seen this already at the local university for the past couple of years. So strange!
I am not surprised. It’s the opposite of the well dressed sex pot the elitists are advertising.
They are hiding out; trying not to be sexually attractive. Also if they are fat, stretch waists and baggy pants are more comfortable and easier to hide in. At least they are not wearing teddy nighties.

This is an astute observation. One of my daughters is halfway through law school now, but when she was an undergrad two years ago she used to complain about how sloppily the other students dressed. She always had a job to go to after class and was dressed properly. This is one of the more difficult to get into SUNY schools in update NY.
My other daughter who is in college in Manhattan now is appalled at the other students sloppy attire (sweats, PJ type clothes) that the other students wear to class.
This is indicative of the greater attitude of the typical college age student out there - the attitude of taking for granted, not taking college seriously, lets use up our loan money and party for 4 years and then see if we can Occupy Wall Street mentality that is out there.
Abercrombie, Victoria’s Secret, etc. are capitalizing on a trend that already exists. They might as well - capitalism in action in a positive sense - my daughter in Manhattan works at a fancy Hollister and is very grateful for the job, too - jobs are not easy to come by!
