Showing Your Undies and Tight Jeans: Awesome or Disgusting?
August 21st 2009 01:10
Fashion is making some bold moves of late and everyone would have seen kids everywhere basically showing their ass hanging out of a pair of baggy or skinny jeans. It is the new craze where teens wear their jeans belted under the bum and show off their boxers or underpants - in summer in my suburb of Manly some take it so far to not even bother with the underpants and have their asses hanging out to show to the world.
Everyone's (but mine) currently most hated radio show hosts Kyle and Jackie O brought up the subject the other day and discussed "Showing your underpants: Sexy or Skanky?" - I am basically doing the same. They raised some interesting points with the majority of callers voting to a 70% skanky vote.
I want to know what you think of the craze - personally, as a gay man, I find it sexy. As one "gay" caller said the other day "why wouldn't I like it - it's like a free movie preview" - this had me chuckling.
I think some people should not wear the skinny jeans, I wear a pair occasionally but think I need to become uber skinny to get away with it better. I just love them as they are stretchy and the most comfortable jeans I have. I would have them in every color if I was that skinny but have my black pair for occasional use.
The sagging of jeans, where your underpants show actually originated in prison in the US as inmates are not allowed belts for obvious reasons and they had no choice but to have their pants sagging low - it was mentioned that it was gay prison inmates who did it to show they were available - this in fact is incorrect, having your pocket on one side turned out, in jail, is actually the way to show inmates you are keen "to be someone's bitch".
The tight jeans have always been worn by rockstars as "their" acceptable attire - most of them can get away with it as they eat a diet high in alcohol and narcotics - a sure fire way to remain skinny. These jeans entered the maintstream in LA thanks to a group of Latino teenage skaters filmed for a Larry Clarke (Kids, Bully, Ken Park) film known as "Wassup Rockers". Clcik on the title to read my review and watch the trailer. In this film they had no choice but to wear these clothes. They were poor and the clothing style was originally known as "young" - as they were wearing the clothes they had up to 5yrs prior. One of the kids, Jonathan Velasquez, was so attractive that the camera loved him so much, that fashion magazines wanted him for photoshoots of him in his "young" clothes and the craze commenced.
Calvin Klein, marketing genius, adjusted the size of the band of their boxers and underpants to make them bigger so the CK logo would be visible to all wearing the tight and/ or saggin jeans. It has since gone gangbusters and all pairs of male undergear pretty much now have a larger band. High School Musical GOD Zac Efron is a massive fan of the skinny or low hanging pants and is regularly photographed with his butt cheeks visible to the world. So why wouldn't every teen male want to emulate this - every single teen girl wants Zac that of course it would be a smart move to show off your butt. You may get lucky.
Miami Beach has banned the wearing of beltless underwear showing pants and Louisianna is not far off. Most of the areas trying are older retiree places who do not want to see it and are jealous their butts now drag along the ground unless wearing big tight underpants. I completely agree that in respecatable places like clubs, churches or places of respect these pants whould not be worn but this is up to individuals and if teens have no respect for certain things then regardless of pants they will still be disrespectful dickheads.
A lot of arguments I hear from people are saying "how can they think any of us are attracted to this", "it's disgusting", "they should be ashamed of themselves" - for all the talk the rest of us are banging on about these are mostly teenagers and they really don't give a shit what the rest of us think as long as they fit into their own community, of which wearing these clothes allows. And thanks to this article and the world over discussing it - the idea of wearing your pants low and skinny or baggy jeans accompanying it is now absorbing into people's minds and a lot of those people will like it and now we have extended the trends stay - nice work.
Like most new and bold fashion trends out there older people will never get it and in 20yrs time those low riding boxer showing kids will be all grown up and bitching about the next fashion trend. For me Zac Efron and hot looking people can wear their jeans as low as you want, for hideous ugly people maybe not, but seriously, wear what suits you and what you like and to hell with people deciding for you.

This is actually a website for saggers and skaters to show off their pants

Actually, I'm not a fan of this look. I do, however, think it's incredibly sexy when a man is wearing slightly baggy jeans...and he lifts up his arms to do...I don't know..something...and you can see just the very top of his undies and the lovely skin just above his....region. Yummm.
I think I'm hormonal tonight

You like a tease but not all on show - which is something I like too.
The G string look makes me squirm.
Enjoy your hormones

As for skinny jeans on guys - fine, as long as they themselves are skinny! I've actually never seen a fat guy wearing skinny jeans... hopefully I'll never have to.

I am yet to see a fat guy wearing them also - although I could be skinnier
