To think he is too old to do this ??

[Yellowpepper2010]

Aibu to think that trousers half way down the arse and boxers hanging out looks silly on a 34 year old man?
He says it's more comfortable but the more it hangs out the more I think he's more of a man child than a man ?!

This was fashionable for a time when I was in secondary school. The boys wore patterned Topman boxers and had their school trousers low down so everyone could see them. I thought they looked ridiculous then and was pleased when the ‘trend’ ended, this was well over a decade ago so is most definitely dead and buried now!

Looks silly on an age!!

I don't want to see some bloke's pants on show as I walk down the street whether he's 18 or 80.

I met an acquaintance’s new husband for the first time about a year ago. He sported the jeans halfway down the bum look. Really, they were at the fullest part of the bum; a few mm lower and they’d be below bum level. Underpants up to waist. Looked unbelievably awful.

He’d just had his 40th birthday. 40th!

It amazes me how some men just don't seem to care how awful they look.
Why do so many older men have to wear shorts the minute the sun shines ? They look so common.

What is it with men and trousers?

The 'prison' look (belts and laces removed to prevent assaults and suicides) is ridiculous, especially on fully grown adults.

I think this was ‘fashionable’ for boys about ten years ago. I don’t see much of this now. So double embarrassing really.

I thought this had gone wayyyy out of style!

It looks terrible - worse than adolescent.

Tell him that you thought you'd married a grown up and that you don't find him sexually attractive dressed like that. If that doesn't make him pull his trousers up nothing will.

The Dangling Crotch of Judge Judy's clients is what we call the look.

Unless he’s an award winning skateboarder then no.

I remember at the height of this, walking through Leicester town centre behind a lad, late teens who had the same look. As he strutted along clearly thinking he was cock of the walk his trousers slowly began to slip until suddenly they were around his ankles and he was falling face forward.
I laughed I admit.

Wearing them like this makes them think they're looking 'ard ..... l generally think they look like a right prat!

Its never been a good look.

I remember going to Clothes Show Live at the NEC with my mate and our two DDs. Sat watching a small catwalk show and a young male photographer was leaping around on chairs, benches etc, shooting with a big camera. His arse was right in our faces at one point... literally, like most of his arse, down to his bum hole.

Pay for some of these to be put up around your local neighbourhood op, extra points for printing out yourself and attaching to lampposts, with DPs photo in a wanted poster style

.....

....

particularly the last one, cut the grocery shop bit off and put several of them leading up to your boudoir, last one on your bed, with a photograph of him on the pillow, wearing offending item.

......id have so much fun ripping your DP for his lack of dress sense at an adult age, im almost getting jealous my DP loves to wear his clothes correctly

I haven't read the full thread so apologies if this has already been said. The fashion originally stems from being in prison in the US where they are not allowed belts. The drug dealers/young gang members and then rappers followed suit cementing the 'fashion'. No1 it was from the nineties and No2 they usually showed designer underwear. I would be embarrassed on so many levels if my husband thought it was OK to go out looking like that. Sorry...

The worst I saw was a guy with his trousers under his bum, with a belt keeping them there

I'm just trying to (over)think exactly how that could work. Waists go in (even on men) above the wider bottom area and do not split or need to be actively moved in order to walk as legs do. Nevertheless, using a belt just makes it look even worse - it notches up "I don't care if I end up looking ridiculous" to "I have deliberately planned to look this ridiculous right from the start".

😂 My DH and my DB both still wear their jeans like this in their mid-/late-30s, but they were (are!) skaters. A lot of our social circle do, but we’re all still in Billabong/Quiksilver/Etnies/DC clothes and beads too. Does he maybe identify with surf/skate culture still?

Unattractive look on anyone at any age imo!

Actually on Purpose? As in knocking on forty and deliberately putting their jeans On so everyone can see their pants?

@Bluntness100 Indeed. Personally, I don’t mind it. Everyone has their things. I cringe if I see a man with his t-shirt or polo tucked in to his jeans. Among the skate/surf/extreme sports communities it’s still pretty normal.

Most of us do, but two wrongs don’t make a right,,it’s not a case of well he looks daft with his t shirt tucked in so I can get my pants out in public.

I also cringe at socks with sandals, white socks and formal shoes, topless men down the shops, men in short shorts, t shirts with the bottom of their gut hanging out, string vests and many other looks that fall into the “not advisable “ category,,none of it makes walking about with your pants on display as a grown man knocking on forty ok in comparison. Irrelevant Of how much you like to skate,,,🤣
