WHAT A WASTE
Imagine this. You are out at one of the hottest night spots in the city, the music is pumping, the drinks are flowing and you get approached by the most attractive man there (or so you thought). His skin is smooth, smile is flawless, the right height and perfect build, with the alluring smell of Clive Christian, hair nicely cut, beard and mustache freshly groomed and decent conversation so far. Then he turns around to get you a drink and he almost trips and falls because his pants are sagging. Ladies, I hated to build you up for such disappointment, but it happened to me. You should have seen the look on my face. My first thought was “Aren’t you too old to be sagging your pants?” But, I don’t like to see sagging pants on anybody. What a waste. I was so turned off that I didn’t even wait around for the drink.
Let me be the first to say that I am a huge fan of fashion and I am very open to new styles and trends, but I am definitely NOT a fan of sagging pants. I cannot think of a more unattractive way to present your self and wear you clothes. I don’t care how much money you spend on your clothes as long as they look nice, but why spend money on designer labels such as Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Sean Jean, Ralph Lauren, Christian Audigier and True Religion if you are only going to take away from the design by sagging? You don’t have to wear skinny jeans because I am not a fan of men wearing those either, but you will definitely look more polished and attractive when your clothes fit you properly.
It has really gotten out of hand over the years. It started out with the “baggy look” to people being able to see these “saggers” entire boxer shorts. To make it even crazier, they are actually wearing a belt, so it’s not like there is not way to keep the pants up. I’m so tired of being out and walking behind a guy that is constantly pulling up his sagging pants. Some of them even have the nerve to make the belt tight enough so that the waists of the pants stay right below the buttocks. What is the point?

SO YOU REPPING PRISON??
HOW IT ALL GOT STARTED
As it turns out, this trend of “sagging” has been around for a long time and started in the prison system. Here are two reasons that I found out why it started there:
It seemed as though people had stop making a big issue out of it until this year when a 62-year-old civil rights leader by the name of General Larry Platt auditioned on the popular talent show American Idol when he performed a song he wrote called, Pants On The Ground. Although, he was too old to make the cut, the song turned out to be a huge hit and he was invited back on the show for the American Idol Finale. So with all of this being said, Guys stop looking like a fool with your pants on the ground.

- Prisoners are not allowed to have belts or shoestrings in prison for fear of danger to self and/or other inmates, so their pants would tend to sag after losing weight or just ill-fitted pants.
- It was a code or invitation for other homosexual inmates to be able to recognize each other.
