In an off the wall post for my blog – it appears that a small suburb of Chicago has banned baggy pants. In short, you cannot show more than 3” of underwear otherwise you get a $25 ticket.
I personally don’t wear my pants that baggy, but it does raise quite a few questions. What is considered underwear? Some people may wear gym shorts instead of underwear – are they allowed to show 3” of gym shorts? What about those that choose to go commando – can they show 3” of crack?
What about other fashions that “keep major retailers and economic development away”? I for sure wouldn’t want to open a business if people dressed like furries… or even Paris Hilton.
What about times of the year where it may even be encouraged to wear baggy pants, such as breakfast club or Halloween?
I think they have gone down a slippery slope which may get them into hot water.
