A popular trend amongst many teenagers, felons, and gangsters is sagging, wearing pants below the waist so that their undergarments are showing (Pull). Since saggy pants have became a popular sty{empny issue ve aoe, Many people vt assume that saggy pants means that one is poner oe Soe It was thought to have been a signal. To many people, saggy pants means disrespect and should not be allowed.

Additionally, not all wearers intend to use this style in a disrespectful manner. Many famous figuré"pick up this style © gf promote themselves, become mage trend, and claim their own sel@onfidence. Pray Although this style is picked up by many famous figures, conn ems Hike Mary Sue Rich opposes this type of style, "I'm just tired of looking at young men's underwear, it's just disrespectful” (“Sagging”). Rich ate successfully pushed to prohibit this style on city owned property. Emest Troiana, town mayor of Wildwood, N.J. have also announced that his city will be policing fashion (“Sagging”). In other words, Troiana has decided to have police wandering around looking for any signs of undergarment.

It is one’s freedom to do as Safin pants. With today’s society, everything that is out of the norm is judged upag. Just like how many people would say gothic clothing is disturbing to KO ne prohibitions are seen as racially motivated because the wearers were mostly young, mince Americans (Koppel). Although it is scen in that way, the banning of saggy pants Were largely proposed by African American officials, Officials have cameo the conclusion that saggy pun em of protest and disrespect. “Critics say [it] is worn as a badge of delinquency, with its distinctive walk conveying thuggish swagger and a disrespect for authority” (Koppel). It is also a possibility that teongiery up this style are clueless as to what it represents. Rich believes that fining or giving jail time would make the wearers realize that they have not been respecting themselves.
