The ordinance is as stupid as the practice it’s trying to regulate. Hemlines, necklines, and lengths of pants and sleeves have always fluctuated. It was only a matter of time before someone did this with pants—they got close with hip-huggers of the 60’s. No one complains about breast cleavage. And here there is no buttock cleavage showing. It would be equivalent to someone wearing a very low cut halter top with a t-shirt underneath. The biggest problem with this “style” is how stupid it looks, just like a “grill” for the teeth or two big fake diamond earrings on guys. Once you have a bunch of white college students doing it, it will fall out of fashion. In the meantime, there should be no laws passed, just a lot of people pointing fingers and laughing their butts off over it.

I have heard this isn't just a style (as in something introduced by the fashion industry), but has been adopted from the "prison look". However impractical it is when running, I imagine it is very practical when hiding things, such as small electronics, drugs, and weapons. Maybe that is the strongest argument for a town wanting this law.

My grandson has tried an introductory version of this at his private Christian grade school. His teacher put a stop to it and then his parents reinforced the message. I have threatened him with a painful wedgie if I ever see it. But of course Granny would feel just awful about that, so would then I'd have to give him a huge, fish-lipped smooch in front of all his friends. Nipped the baggy-pants idea in the bud real quick.
