If your fashion sense is somewhat casual, you’d better smarten up before taking a trip to Opalocka in Florida. News this week, it was reported that this is one of at least eight states in the US where officials are placing a legal ban on saggy pants. The reason? Well, just as in the UK hoodies are clearly responsible for teens turning to a life of crime, slack, erm, slacks are to blame for rising crime rates in these areas of the states. Obviously.
Tim Holmes, councillor, explains: ‘Kids going around wearing pants below their butts is not decent. It frightens pensioners’. While we at Picture Yourself There aren’t sure that pants are entirely to blame for the wider social implications, we do know one good reason to ban them anyway: they look stupid.
Crime caused by baggy trousers? That’s just Madness.
