Walking behind a bloke the other day. What happens when pants follow the same contour as jeans, and grubby long T shirt is too short?
Call me old fasioned, but here was almost daylight through the col. Would you have said something?

I was in the co-op in Penzance last week.
I bloke's jeans were hung well below his arse (covered with patterned boxers, obviously) and I have no idea how they were staying up. Looked right chilly!

I like the limping ones who wear jeans designed with crotchs at knee level.
They remind me of penguins, slightly disabled ones.Posted 2 years ago # -
Ian Munro owes me a new keyboard.

I still dont know how the jeans stay up
its also very gey

They don't stay up. I've been stuck in close quarters at gigs with them, and they are constantly having to hitch them up (not too far though, wouldn't want to cover your pants up). I'm willing to let it go on teenagers, they are meant to dress in such a way that old men like us get wound up by it. However I have seen plenty of peole doing it in their 20s and 30s who really should know better

Anyone who exposes their scants are fair game for the good ol' wedgie. That's why it was invented in the 1st place.

I think it helps if you have rickets, tbh.

Worst I've ever seen was in Eccy Road Tesco in Sheffield. Studenty sort of lad, looked like he spent half his life in the gym and on sunbeds.
His trousers were so low you could see his pubes. Not at all pleasant.

I must be getting old, 'cos whenever I see this I have to resist a parental type urge to pull their trousers up for them and tell them to get a belt.
Perhaps if everyone did this they'd stop doing it?

I agree give them a weggie no tlike they could actually run after you is it.
Looks stupid but every teenager should dress a little bit stupidly it is what it was for - I had a Mohican, Goth phase ,Grunge and dreds for my sinsPosted 2 years ago # -
Johnnie....what would you call yor current 'phase'?

Aye, when will this fad go out too ? I saw it in San Francisco on skater kids in the early 90s - copied from Hip Hop fashion where it was meant to signify you had been in prison and they took your belt away, and yes we laughed at them I remember clearly watching one try to run for a bus, to much hilarity. Thats nearly 20 years ago so can we declare this over soon please ??

It was Alexander McQueen's fault, he designed 'bumster' jeans, he's dead now so hopefully this fashion will die out with him.
Oscar Wilde once said, Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months', that doesn't seem to apply to Sombrio though, everything they produce is ugly.

I thought it came from US prisons where the uniforms were often ill-fitting. Homies that came out of the slammer, continued this look to give off the gangsta image and was quickly adopted by gangsta wannabees and rappers. MacQueen copied this look for his jeans.

i think the fashion for cuping themselves underneath their baggy grey marl trackie bottoms is quite hideous.

Half right. It comes from the US gaols when belts are taken off people in custody so that they don't top themselves .
Which is why it looks so tarded on some spotty middle class white 15 year old in Woking.

Can't say STW isn't informative
Now - how about returning youths sporting this absurd "fashion" to jail?

I think at some stage most of us have worn some stupid and often damned ugly get up's when younger, but to have a pair of pants/jeans impairing how you walk is crazy. i saw a young lad trying to run for a bus with a pair of these the other week it looked like he had sh-t himself
However I have seen plenty of peole doing it in their 20s and 30s who really should know better
Would be great if they where women

I think this fad was best dealt with by a fellow Glaswegian of mine in the following sketch:

There's a great video on youtube somewhere of a guy doing BMX tracks with his jeans like that. After a couple of seconds, the obvious happens, the jeans get caught round the seat and he mullers himself.

McQueen just wanted some botty action

There have been many awful fashions and most of us have been guilty at one time or another, but the girly jeans, poo pants look really bugs me.
As if tight jeans weren't bad enough already!Posted 2 years ago # -

Yep I've noticed a few of them around recently. I can't work out if they're just total unaware, incapable of putting on boots without the help of an adult, or if it's some form of cripplechick fashion statement.
