to hope that when my son gets older, the fashion for young lads wearing their trousers slung so low is well and truely over.

[lucykate]

why do they do it?, they look ridiculous.

young lad, walking along the street today, his trousers were so low, you could see the back of his underpants which just looked like they needed binning a jolly good wash.

How old is he? The fashion has been around for a while now, I'm sure it is due to change soon.

Amen to that... it does look silly in my opinion.

Worse when you can see their arse crack...

Not nice..

Hate this - I have to resist the urge to rush over and pull them up!
Or pull down the crop-tops on hefty young ladies with an overhanging tummy.

he's 5.

i live in hope this fad doesn't get replaced with something worse

And how how do they stay up??

It fascinates me. They're always such skinny lads too. I can't help but look and wonder. Without wanting to get too starey about it of course - that wouldn't be good would it?

But HOW..?

I know. It looks really stupid.

But it has always been the same.

I looked stupid in batwing jumpers and puffball skirts.

My sister looked stupid in head-to-toe leather and gloves, leather bracelets and dog collars with studs shaped like bullets on them.

We all went through it.
We all thought we looked cool and people who saw us were impressed by us.
None of us heard the sniggering.

I'd like to pull their trousers DOWN...
and see how embarrassed they are.

this really should be the next mumsnet campaign, 'lads, pull your trousers up fgs'

Hectate.....PUFFBALL SKIRTS...
Fanbleedingtastic.

we need a mnetter to come along with a teen ds to ask him to explain why they think having your pants on show looks good.

i have been known to walk behind group of "im well ard" type lads, tap one on the shoulder as ai walk past and say "dude you;ve got a skid showing"

it is the funniest thing in the world watching him almost fall over spinning round to check.
then all his mates piss themselves laughing.

then he pulls his trousers up.

Same reason we all thought spandex jumpsuits looke great in the 70's.

the fashion industry tells us it does and so we blindly follwo like sheep

peacocks fan out their tails feathers to attract females, latest thinking is obviously flash your skids, that'll turn 'em on

god I hope it goes soon
awful awful trend

A vile look. I also hate those stupid haircuts where lads start their parting nearly by their ears. It's supposed to look tousled & sideswept I guess, but it's just rubbish. They just have it hanging in their faces.

oh dont get me started. In the summer two students were doing research for the Council, one lad had is jeans so low you could see his trunks, the fly bit

i saw a young lad being hauled into a police car last week, and as they walked him to it, copper close on each side, he couldn't keep his legs apart to keep low slung trousers up and they actually fell down around his ankles in the street

rhadegunde - rofl

I have two DSs who do this revolting display...
They will not/can not give an answer.
[grrr]

The front view is far worse. You'd think their tackle would get cold just covered by a thin pair of boxers.

Mind you, Gok Wan wears his trousers in exactly the same way, so it's not just the youngsters.

Gok Wan isn't young????

Oh,i'm old....

I'm so glad both my teen ds find it funny when others wear like that

I'm another one that wants to yank them up as I go past

You are all showing your age!!

We had similar god awful trends too. FGS We all had tartan trousers and socks for the Bay City Rollers. That was a crime!
