To get baffled by the teen boys who can't get jeans past their thighs?

Awwwww!

smirk - my dh still sometimes wears them like this, on the days when he isn't wearing his skinny jeans! lol at him! he thinks he's cool - but then I do think he still looks cool even though he's 29 cos i love him

i must lead a very sheltered life. have never encountered thsi fashion.
am grateful for this.

K&J - Phew! Thank goodness for that
I was getting worried that I was the only one too!

butterflywings - im 22 as well, and i feel the same way! Glad it is not just me!

Both DSs do this at home (can't be bothered to get their belts) but not in public. They don't want "jack-ups" apparently.

I agree - the girls do look silly when they do it too.
It's not very lady-like is it??

Oh dear, I'm only 22 and most people my age dress like this.. They'll think I'm a granny in disguise if they ever knew what I thought about it!

Well, I don't know if it's in the british version but the german version of Verbaudet catalogue has a pair of jeans with sewn in undies to make it look like the jeans are falling down and the lad is wearing trendy striped boxer shorts. Start at size 86 too so now even the little lads can dress up as teenagers the same as the girls (little girls clothing looks more and more like teenage clothing nowadys)

Yes, it is not nice being a teacher with this fashion.

Am sick of seeing a row of girls bums hanging out, with grey manky looking thongs to add to the aesthetics!

At least the boys keep their bums if not their underwear under wraps.

As textile teacher, am sick of boys coming to me, with request for apparently bottomless suppy of safety pins to hold keks up!

But mine's not an ex! I forgot to say something ....I was lurking around Abercrombie and Fitch in London at the weekend and there were hoards of boys with trousers falling down and hoards of girls with back flesh on display. My DD wants a short hoody to show her belly off (she's 8, she can think again!) I told her that a hoody is designed to keep you warm, and that clearly doesn't....as soon as the words came out of my mouth I realised, it happens to all of us no matter how hard we try, we turn into our mothers and dispair at our children's taste in clothes!!!! bamzooki, you are not being Victor over it, it's just nature - we are not supposed to get what the youngsters like, and we are supposed to be baffled by fashion. Parents are not supposed to be cool!!!!!!!

I saw one young man in the Post office with trousers down in the fashion but his undies has done with them so all the little old ladies had a nice view of his bum crack. I really did have the urge to tell him to pull his trousers up.
At least he didn't have fat builder's arse I suppose!

butterflywings - mine's 34 and so does he! (not quite as low as some of his mates though, thankfully). One of his best mates is at London College of Fashion and he is sooooooooooo skinny, his trousers are a bit too low, they look like he has glued them on, but it's just a good belt! I prefer low slung than pulled up high so they are all tight around the boy's bits - I get a bit upset when I see the outline of a penis!

Some of our sixth formers sport this stuff.

It takes all my will power not to yell.

'ffs I don't want to see your underwear, pull the bloody things up!!!!!'

Don't think much of seeing the girls' underwear either!

i saw this thread title the other morning but did not have time to open it.... remember thinking i had not seen any yoofs like that around lately ( here in Aus) only to be confronted by one whilst having a coffee at the cafe. I thought of this thread title and had a chuckle to myself.

That's what I heard zippi. Whatever the reason they still look like stupid twunts. Let them carry on thinking they look cool...they'll learn when they see the photos in 20 years time.....

Haha - my XP is 25 and he still wears his like that! He's uber-skinny as well so it looks really funny

I was told that round here they wear one leg shorter than the other, and the leg they choose shows which side of town they're from.

Bizarre, but I have no trouble believing it.

Yeah, we're not supposed to get it. My DS does it but can't explain why. I enjoy the sight as an amusing distraction in a boring day and will walk closely behind a perpetrator in the (so far frustrated) hope that I will witness the moment when they do fall down.

What a shame that it's not real hunks with lovely peachy smooth bots that do it (as opposed to spotty teens)...[lech emoticon]

I saw the ones with fake boxer short attached in QS, I think - stylish or what ?

i must be getting old, the first thing i think when i see someone wearing them like that is "haven't you got a belt?"

oh god yes Moondog, my teenage wardrobe heavily featured old men's suits and big shirts from charity shops, complete with the dodgy stains and smells

my 14 year old does this.. no amount of pisstaking from me or anyone else will convince him that he looks anything other than super cool

he also wears big clompy trainers with the laces undone and a hood - we call him Gollum

I've been thinking this recently.
Am also stagggere at logistics of havng entire arse on show.

Nind you,I dressed entirely in old men's suits from Oxfam at that age,so what wouod I konw?

IF they reserve the right to wear them, I reserve the right to at them when they walk around looking like they are wearing a nappy full of shite (and I do).

I remember boys at school wearing them then and I never got it at the time.

i hanve an urge to yank them down!!
