Sagging Fashion

                     A big controversial topic among men is/are about those sagging pants that appear to most to look very uncomfortable. Sagging pants has become a major fashion statement in the last couple of years . Well in today's society we just cant point out the men because there are some females who wear them just as low. Sagging pants  a look to wear the under garments are shown. People who wear such were known as the "sagger".

                     According to Greg Mathis, sagging was adopted from the United States prison system where belts are prohibited to prevent prisoners from using them as weapons or committing suicide by hanging themselves. This style was later made a fashion statement amongst the hip-hop community in the 1990's. People have there many objectives to why they feel this look is not appealing to the eye. You may hear people make comments about the sexuality of those dressed that way, because as many fellow prisoners believe that the look of another man with the behind showing was a sign of him being gay. Others may make comments on a person behavior because of the fashion statement. Either way its not very good reviews.

                     Sagging pants over the years, mainly in the beginning of the 21st century has started many controversial arguments among local government, school system, transit agencies, airlines passed laws federal and state authorities. This issue has brought fourth major meetings among the government which lead to few states trying to passing a sagging pants law. On November 23,2013 in Albany, Georgia passed a city ordinance that banned the wearing of pants or skirts with top more than three inches below the hips, and imposed a fine of $25 for the first offense, increasing up to $250 for subsequent offenses. By September 2011 it was reported that 187 citations were issued and fines of $3,916 collected. States such as Tennessee, Michigan,Florida, Texas and New Jersey have taken measures to ban sagging. Things such as many music videos have prompted these measures to begin.

                       My opinion on sagging pants is that it has become a fashion statement whether positive or negative. The picture on the right displays what it looks like to stand behind someone who is sagging 3 inches or more. It appears to look as if the person is some type of creator. ( a person who body seems to look inportioned) The picture of the right displays it as a fashion statement. Something similar to " the MC HAMMER Pants." My partake is that i get the whole point of trying to wear something that is comfortable. Pants sagging an 1 inch to 1.5 inches isn't a bad look. In most of my pants I do have a little sag but not to were my whole bottom is showing.What people need to realize that there is a time and place for everything.
