Enough With The Baggy Pants

post #1 of 45

It's been over 15 years since this look started to spread. I'm sick of it on an aesthetic level. I'm so bored I can't even muster so much as a giggle anymore at the teens trying to look tough as they hold their pants up when they walk. Or the grown men wearing jean "shorts" that reach their knees. Or little kids at the pool getting pulled underwater by the weight of their bathing suits that stop just above the ankles.
Can't someone create a new look soon?

I knew someone would make an old man joke. But it doesn't apply, goddammit! This isn't some new look. I'm not saying "We sure didn't dress like that back in my day"
Because we did! I was done with that played out look years ago.

I don't like it when grown men wear shorts. I find it really annoying for some reason.

I thought BobClark got busted for shooting that teen who wouldn't get off his lawn.

I’ve come to enjoy the baggy pants look. It’s often an easy way to make quick contact with someone who can supply me with various narcotics and small firearms. Keep on baggin’ homies!

I like baggy pants. This is the closest I can't get to the comfort of a dress without having society frown upon me.

Baggy pants are played out, I'll give that to you, Andy Rooney. But I'd prefer that over the alternative I'm seeing: boys wearing "girl-pants." This new trend is driving me crazy and it is far worse than baggy pants.

It would be an out-dated style if millions of people weren't still wearing them, including the entire NBA (shorts), most teens and the whole of the hip hop community...

You're not alone, Bob. I thought the trend was stupid when it first appeared, let alone now. I'm still amazed the chicks let the guys get away with it.


Now you damn kids get off MY lawn.....

Of course it's not out of date. That's my complaint. I wish it were because it's old and stale. Let's say goodbye to look and move on.
Does that sound like something an old man would say?
Does it! Does it!
Maaaaaatttlllooooocckkkkkk!

What's wrong with baggy pants? It's the most direct way for me to let you see the crack of my ass. If you can think of a better way, short of wearing no pants, I'd like to hear it.

No, the whole thing with people not in high school wearing baggy pants is annoying. Baggy pants are that you wear in highschool, to conform with the other adolescents, and not get beat-up. You stop wearing them after highschool, when you become an adult; hopefully one with "self confidence" and a sense of "personal identity". This is a not behaving like you're still in highschool argument.

Pants are one thing, but I don't see anything wrong with a man wearing shorts that come to the knee. So Bob, do you wear really short shorts? Because, opposite of your thought, I think it is hilarious, and a little strange, seeing a man with "booty" shorts on.

There's a happy medium here, there's a way to bring peace to the table: shorts that stop in the mid-thigh area. Long enough to be comfortable, short enough so that you don't look like a tool. Everybody wins!

I hate baggy pants, they're the reason why I can't check out guys asses on the sidewalk.

As it is I never know whether or not they have a nice ass until they take their pants off.

I still wear Toughskins jeans from Sears. Something about the chaffing and bleeding just reminds me of home, in a Maynard kind of way.

The trend is a little ridiculous in certain parts around here, I swear some kids have their bants belted around their knees, and I'm a little tired of seeing which brand of boxers they prefer. The first kid I see doing that while wearing tidy whiteys deserves a swift kick to his exposed balls. While we're complaining like geezers, here's the other "Fashion Trends" I'm REAL tired of seeing:
1. Popped collars on a polo shirt
2. Buying a baseball cap, leaving the fucking foil sticker on it, leaving the brim completely flat, and wearing it at some sort of odd angle
3. Sports jerzee down to the knees
4. Emo hair
5. Spiked belts or any other spiked accesories (I always wanna ask, "Did mommy buy you your dog collar?)

I'm sure when I was in high school, some guy in his late 20's was complaining about all the flannel kids were wearing. But dammit, it was warm and comfortable.

The worst trend around here at the moment is pink polo shirts.

I've noticed that baggy pants are not completely gone but are now just part of a certain group. Theyve usually stuck with the hip hop crowd and "bros". I dont know if "bros" are just local to my area or if theyre country-wide.

One thing I hate more than the bill of a hat being flat is when theyre bent...upwards.

I'm a victim of the tight pants but theres more to it than just fashion trend. Sort of. Slimmer fitting jeans give you a taller silhouette and helps if youre not a towering 6'2" guy. And lots of dudes wear girl jeans usually because there isnt a guy-jean that really fits comfortably to them.

Remember, when running away from zombies tight clothes are best.

The scientific term is "Ghetto gown".

I wear baggy(er) jeans because they are just a requirement on the board. I've seen this time and time again for 10+ years. I tried the tight fitting pants, the regular fitting pants, and they're fine, but I'm tired of the hassle. Which means I can't fit into them anymore without unbuttoning the top button.

Ditto. Problem is when you're at work surrounded by evil inconspicous eyes.

Relating to the subject at hand, and to stand on BobClark's grinchy side, the baggy pants loving ended for me when I discovered that the underwear you get to see, well, under was eventually sewn from the inside. From the inside, I tell ya! Oh, what a crushing blow it was...

Due to this "baggy hip-hugger" jeans thing I've seen more bare female ass crack than I ever thought I'd seen in my lifetime.

Not that I'm complaining.

It's not tight pants in general that strike my annoyance, but the emo kids who only wear girl-pants, where they are ridiculously tight and the jeans only reach to above their ankle. This sounds crotchety old man-like, but it's pretty much the whole scene-kid fashion I can't stand. Mostly it's because they generally don't know crap about the music they purport to love.

As for the popped collar trend, I love it. It automatically helps me weed out who is a douchebag, which is nice.

I believe American Eagle shirts actually have print inside the collar so when it's popped open you can see "1979" printed on it.

Burn down their stores.
