When I was living in India I complained about the tightness of men’s trousers and how little they left to the imagination. Now while in the UK I find myself with a new fashion-based rant – What is up with this trend of men having their trousers half way down their asses!?A significant proportion of men in London are purposefully lowering their trousers to show of their underwear and I truly do not understand why. None of them ever wear cute undies and few of them actually have an ass to show. So what is the freaking point?
It particularly bothers me when I see it in restaurants and other business – That is just unhygenic. And when I see men pull them up just to lower them to the “right” level, ugh!And as you can see here I’m not the only one who doesn’t get it:

SIPLIN PASSES PULL UP YOUR BRITCHES BILL
TALLAHASSEE- Legislation sponsored by state Senator Gary Siplin
(D-Orlando) which would force kids to pull up droopy britches or face
penalties passed the Senate today with a 28-11 vote.
"Our schools teach students how to type and drive," said Siplin, who,
along with other supporters is promoting the measure as "pro-family,
pro-education and pro-employment."
"Schools should also teach students how to dress so they can go to
college, or get a job and be productive adults."
Under the measure, students who are caught exposing their underwear will
be warned on the first offense, face a 3 day in-school suspension on the
second offense, face 10 days of in-school suspension on the third
offense, and suspended out of school if caught for a fourth time.
Identical legislation (HB 335) is being sponsored in the House by
Representative Ed Bullard (D-Miami).

The complaint is about 19 years old states-side, and partially my own.
