Love it/Hate it: Clothing

Yeah, I wonder what's the point of wearing pants when I see guys like that. 

In my fantasy I would walk up and *Yank* on all the pants that were down too low  and watch em trip and fall over as they tried to kill me for doing it lol  Jules

I can't stand it either. I am so happy to be back in shorts and sandles. I hate wearing sox.

That's a pretty bad trend that's had a very long run it would seem...but IMO I can easier deal with that...than with too tight cut-nut pants, or parachute pants LMAO!. Just some things in men and women's anatomy that should be left to the imagination...
 
I think the lamest thing I've seen lately with young men is he "capri" pant thing for guys...ICK. I mean Cholo shorts...khakis cut off just above the ankle look kinda righteous...but "capri's'....[:'(]
 
That and the hair do's...the longish messy look...ick...grow it long like a proper stoner....or keep it short....that in between razor cut thing is just not doing anything for me. Worst look in men's hair since the skater cut!

Another thing that drives me nutts is colored bras under a white T-shit. I se girls wearing them all the time and the t-shirt is hanging off so you can see the bra.

I don't quite understand the point of wearing their pants down their knees either.
What I dislike is wearing expensive brand name clothes. Are these people trying to show off that they can afford theses brands? I mean for myself, I like something afforable and simple, because it going to end up being a rag in the kitchen or bathroom.

What i like about our trend right now (don't know if it still happening) is Guys with Polo shirts. Girls, I m not sure what the trend for them right now.

A prison worker of a male only facility told me recently that the inmates who wear baggie pants, hanging way down, with the visible undie stripe, are the prison "bitches." Apparently, this makes for easy access, or rather easy removal of the pants, when their "partner" feels so inclined. True or not, I don't know.

Next time you see some punk tripping over their trousers, you can tell them that story! [sm=lol.gif]

twelvepaws, lol!  I heard slightly different.  I heard that the trend came from prisons as well, but in that prisons don't always have the right size for the guys' waists, and no belts so that's how they dealt with it.  So it was a trend to "be cool as the guys in jail".  How cool is that!?

I can't stand the hip hugger jeans where when you bend over, your butt crack/panties are showing.  Why can't they make normal jeans?  And normal jeans for me!  lol...

The worst thing so far for me is the PRE-dirtied clothing. I can't stand even looking at them! It's gross! Not to offend anyone that wears the dirty clothes, but I for one will NEVER buy something that looks dirty already.

It's so bad that I can't go to any store and find just a normal, slightly faded, pair of jeans. I can't even get a shirt that doesn't look like a bum wore it for a couple of years.

I want clean clothes when I spend that much money on them!
 
Almost forgot.. The PRE-torn clothes too! Kenny was shocked when he saw the men's clothing going down the same road. He's having trouble finding normal, somewhat plain clothing too.
 
And the female's selection for clothes in most stores is terrible. You dress like a s**t, or you get to dress like grandma. There's nothing in between. I bought some shorts the other day without trying them on. They looked longer than most other shorts on the rack... Well crap, they were so short, my cheeks were hanging out. But if I went to the women's section, I would have to buy balloon shorts, that go all the way down to my knees, and ride my stomach.
 
That's it, who wants to start making clothing for normal people?

I dislike the sagging pant thing as well.  It's hilarious to actually watch one of those guys walk though.  They have to kind of do the "gangsta shuffle" as they limp along trying to keep their pants up--it's even better when they have to hold them with one hand....
 
With girls it would be wearing skimpy clothes that are like, 4 sizes too small.  It's even more maddening when it's somthing that would look really good if they had only bought in in the right size, but because they felt the need to get it that small it just looks trashy.  Even better when they bend over and their butt crack shows.
 
Alos, tapered leg pants are one of my pet peeves....there is like one person on the planet that looks good in those, and I have not seen them yet...

Ah, fashion today - guys dress like mangey thugs, girls like slutty trash. That and the unlaced shoes or flip flops, even in church. What is even worse is somebody who doesn't recognize they aren't the weight or age they used to be.
 
Even the better department stores are lousy. All I can find are "in" styles.Give me lands end or beans anyday.
 
What's wrong with well fitting, clean, sylish "normal" clothing? If they brought that back in full force they would make a killing! Maybe Dog.com should branch out into Adult clothing![] Sure would make a mint off my wallet. !

DGS often has his friends over to swim in the summer and I've started to wonder about the super long mid calf & longer swimming trunks. [] They all look like they're swimming in pajama bottoms. I'd hate to see speedos make a come-back, but shouldn't swimming trunks be a little shorter than nearly to the ankles?

omg laffin!! R-Dub (rwbeagles that's how I always think of you lol) the remark about the nut cutters had me rollin.  I have a rather blunt g/f who won't hesitate to make loud comments in public or at work about clothing like that and there is one gal at work who wears her jeans waaaayyy too tight. (I'm gonna try to be tactful here) but we all know what too tight jeans look like on ladies (even alleged ones) and my friend pointed out the too tight pants (pointing right AT this poor girls crotch and said "Oh gross, she's got "Camel Toes!!" because of how high the jeans were riding due to tightness and I had a mouthful of diet pepsi which I spit out onto the floor choking to death I coulda killed her (but boy was it funny).
I've heard the samething about the origination of boys pants way down low starting in prisons from bi***ed out men. 
That's the other thing is low rise jeans make me gag.  I absolutely HATE the grunge and goth look. 
The worse thing I ever saw (outside of Jerry Springer) was in a grocery store was a 400 pound woman in a bright red spandex matching top and pants with get this:  sequins   she looked like a giant blood clot rolled in disco sprinkles and had on silver pumps.  Bright pink lipstick dark blue eye shadow and burgundy rouge.  This was the scariest female I have ever seen.  Her jewelry looked like it was stolen from PeeWee Herman's house (before he got arrested lol) she strutted thru the store like she owned it.  I was suddenly embarrassed to be female.  Trashy women are more offensive to me than trashy men.  Dunno why....[:'(]
It drives me crazy to have to pay extra for pre-dirty pre-torn clothing!  GGgrrrr
Jules

The pre-dirty clothing also makes me crazy.

I happen to love that hip-huggers are back because they are the only pants that fit me right. I have a very long back. But I don't buy the ones that show off my buttcrack to the world every time I bend over!! Those are too low, for sure.

What bugs me about other women wearing them is that they always buy a size too small because they won't stay up otherwise. And thus you get the plumber's butt. But so many teens and young women are overweight now, and wearing those short short tops, that now you get this GAP that is butt crack in the back and stomach hanging out in the front. What on earth makes them think that is stylish?

My son is 25 and he still wears the stupid baggy pants. I had to tell him when I was visiting, "Elephant pants went out a LONG time ago!!" And yes, I DID pull his pants down. I'm his mom, I can tease him like that. It's my job, someone's gotta do it.

I haven't seen capris for men, but I can guarantee you won't see any Alaskan men wearing them. I think they'd have to turn in their Male Cards and move to SF. []
