How do you wear your pants?

That's Matt Lucas, in his silent comedy, Pompidou.
About the sagging pants, I've heard more and more places have, and are in the midst of implementing laws to put a halt to saggy pants.

About the saggy pants thing...
How do these people run from the cops with their pants blocking the leg's ability to run at all?
I read somewhere that the saggy pants became a thing because in jail, the belts are taken away from them, resulting in that saggy pants look, which in turn became the style in the typical neighborhoods where these people came from. True or false? I have no idea, but if it sounds that stupid, then it is probably true.

I have no idea where the wearing of low-rider pants originated, but it looks idiotic.

That reminds me of when we had a workman come in. He was crouched down just like that and the dog stuck its cold wet nose in the crack. He nearly hit the roof!

His name is Matt Lucas, he's a TV personality, starred in a show called Little Britain. How I know that is a mystery. Never saw Little Britain and only know of Matt Lucas because he has been in the press talking about being gay.
Right then Aunt Marg. How do I wear my trousers, (I don't wear pants.) High waisted, to hide my belly, twenty two inch hems with a turned up cuff. In the first photo you can just see, at the bottom of my tie, just how high the waist line is. The second photo shows the width of the hems and the third is just showing off, my lady not only makes my trousers, she makes my waistcoats/vests too.
Some of the comments are sort of amusing, as in: "When did they come back into fashion?" & "Those trousers are ridiculous," My hats and shoes often get comments too.
Impeccable!
You look absolutely dashing, Horseless!
I LOVE a man in a dress hat! Nothing separates a real man from the boys better, than a man in a dress hat.
My husband wears turned up cuffs on his slacks and IMO it's the difference between wearing a plain-Jane pair of dress slacks vs wearing a pair of stylish and classy slacks.

You're such a smoothie.....................................don't stop!
You're good people, Horseless, it comes easy.
I’ve seen some outrageous clothing styles in my life but this beats them all. What’s surprising is how popular it became. They clearly don’t realize how stupid it looks.

That is also true of leisure suits back in the 1970s. Why everybody wanted to look like used car salesmen is beyond me. But, then, I never understood that whole style thing anyway.I’ve seen some outrageous clothing styles in my life but this beats them all. What’s surprising is how popular it became.

But at least that style didn’t expose the entire backside. I don’t particularly like seeing men’s underwear. Then there’s that tad problem of not being able to walk and tripping over your pants. No, that doesn’t look stupid at all.That is also true of leisure suits back in the 1970s. Why everybody wanted to look like used car salesmen is beyond me.

I agree that wearing one's pants down around the knees is really dumb. Considering the type of people that wear their pants that way, it is also very impractical for running from the cops. Somebody just didn't think and instead blindly followed whatever was supposed to be cool.But at least that style didn’t expose the entire backside. I don’t particularly like seeing men’s underwear.

As for the leisure suits, I probably feel more strongly about these because, as a guy, I might have been expected to wear one. Fortunately, I was rarely, if ever, in a position to need to wear a suit back then.
