A Louisiana town just banned baggy pants. What’s your reaction?



  • Love the idea! It’s about time someone took a stand.
  • Kids will be kids. Don’t the adults have something better to do?

I remember the elephant legs (mega wide with bell bottoms) of the early 70s in 8th grade or so - I don't mind the big pants - I just don't like seeing the underwear!

If the worst thing that a kid is going to do is wear baggy pants with his boxers showing out the top, well, be glad he isn't into something worse.

As a mother of a young daughter I find it upsetting that I have to explain why a young man or boy is going around with his underwear hanging out.

Baggy pants are one thing. Way back when I wished they'd have banned bell bottoms, but lots of people love them.

Now, if a guy or a girl has pants falling off their bottom and showing off their stuff (doesn't have to be bagging pants to do that, just an idiot wearing them low), that's an entirely different thing. That should be treated as indecency and dealt with accordingly.

Not exactly the same thing.

What they are showing is underwear.
