The fashion police
I was surprised to read on the BBC website an article about how some American cities are trying to (or have) pass(ed) a law against baggy jeans that sag to the point where the wearer’s underwear shows. The article was talking about a case in a Florida town where a teenager was arrested for having baggy pants that sagged and showed his boxer shorts, and that a judge threw out the case calling it unconstitutional. I didn’t realize that America was now formally embracing “fashion police!”
What I found very interesting to read in the article, however, was the claim that it is believed that this particular fashion trend (which I don’t like) started in prisons, where inmates are given baggy prison uniforms without belts. i think that is disturbing – fashion trends start in prisons? That is a sad commentary on today’s society!
