MosJan Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Viewing of underclothing not desired In the state of Lousiana, USA, in the cities of Shreveport and Alexandria, the local governments have passed a law prohibiting young men and women from wearing loose-fitting pants, including low-fitting jeans that sit below the belt line, which can result in the appearing of underclothing covering intimate body parts. As informed by Interfax, civil committee member Alexander Lusin said this has instigated many protests in which citizens don't want to have to view the underclothing of youth. "Dressing in this manner is now impossible," he said. We point out that a similar law may pass in the US state of Georgia, in the city of Atlanta. Conflicting reactions are occurring in the population of one of America's largest cities. Panorama.am received these answers in response to a short survey: a) the population doesn't want to view young men's underclothing they especially don't want to see underclothing in public places c) concerning girls, it depends on who it is, but in no case one's girlfriend d) in any event, high-fitting pants aren't to be found in stores e) women protested that the styles have been changed so as to fit still unformed young girls' waistlines, possibly causing future health problems… Source: Panorama.am ok lets see what answers we get - sorry if the pictures disturbs any of you / we will take them out / just don't be reporting them to MOD's - http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c3/Whale_Tail.jpg http://www1.istockphoto.com/file_thumbview_approve/1180623/2/istockphoto_1180623_low_cut_jeans.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MosJan Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 it looks nice on many / but it's not for all Low-rise jeans give rise to a lot of bare derriere By Gina Daugherty The Cincinnati Enquirer Plumber's butt. You know, that blindingly pale patch of derriere that peeks out from between a shirt that rides up and pants that slide down. Most commonly seen when a beefy plumber or other worker reaches or squats while on the job. Most common until recently, that is. The Amana Effect is no longer just a boy's club, as women are baring their posteriors - sometimes intentionally, sometimes not - in the name of fashion. Low-rise jeans have booty poppin' out all over the place. Everyone is getting cheeky. Call it the new cleavage. At Bee Clean Car Wash in Mason, Annamarie Minturn and Cassie Thierauf, both 19, are baring their butts (albeit unintentionally) every time they lean over a car, bend down to vacuum or wipe down a tire. Thierauf's rhinestone-studded thong is there for all to see. She doesn't mean to, but when your pants hug your hips, it's bound to happen. "It's not that I have them low so my thong can hang out," explains Thierauf. "It's a product of the pant." Indeed. The space between Thierauf's belly button ring and the top of her jeans is at least three inches. She says the distance is greater on some of her other pants. It's virtually impossible to find jeans to cover your hipbones these days, and finding them to cover your cheeks continues to get harder. When Sisqo rapped, "Let me see that thooooong," he probably didn't have to look very hard. The thong is an absolute must for Latresha Lane. She runs Fast Lane Models in Cincinnati and without the thong, she and her models would be out of business. Visible panty lines (or VPL) are not an option. 'They show off your waist' For the rest of us, our low-rise, hip baring jeans are causing all kinds of VPL. Some jeans are so low there isn't enough room for a zipper, as is the case with Levi's Too Superlows, which feature two snap buttons instead. Technically speaking, the "rise" of jeans is the distance between the crotch and waist. The average rise is about 10 inches. But on low-rise pants, it can be as little as 6 inches, depending on the brand. Recent University of Cincinnati graduate Marianne Pusz, 23, loves low-rise jeans. She won't wear anything else and says they are a "godsend to women with big butts." "They show off your waist," Pusz says. "But if you don't have a butt, it's not going to make you look better by having your butt hang out. Older women wear the waist-high jeans, and it doesn't matter if you're the skinniest woman on the planet, they are going to make it look like you have a butt the size of Texas." A dogged advocate of keeping cracks and thongs out of public view, Pusz buys Victoria's Secret low-cut bikini briefs. She tried going "commando" (sans underwear), but says it was "excruciating." The low-rise jeans phenomenon has led to a low-rise panty phenomenon. Pusz is unbreakable in her resolve against panty showing, and she quickly decides only Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani can get away with it. "Don't give me that, 'Oops I did it again, my thong is hanging out,' " says Pusz. "Unless you are Britney Spears, forget about it. If you are wearing low-rise jeans and regular underwear, you should be carted away. Panty lines plus showing your underwear is the cardinal sin of low-rise jeans." Big shocker that Ryan Nesbitt doesn't mind, though. An 18-year-old from Mason, he has nothing against a half-inch to an inch of butt cleavage on a "Tara Reid-type" woman. "Bootylicious," he says. All this butt cleavage has school administrators and some parents reeling. Not everyone wants to see the gluteus maximus in school, not even in anatomy class. The Fairfield City School District last year revised its dress code to specifically address midriffs and low-slung pants. "I think the dress code we had in place was 99 percent adequate," said board member Ann Crone. "But as styles and fads change, it needed to be tweaked to adapt to our student population." Basically, the district agreed it doesn't want to see any midriffs or butt cleavage. Take it from a plumber Still, fashion comes and goes, so enjoy it now, as this butt-baring might be outdated by fall. Don't fret, though. There's still plumber's butt, unless Joe Schlueter has anything to do with it. The owner of Schlueter Plumbing Inc. has been in the business for over 35 years. He has worked hard to shed the plumber's "showy" stigma. His plumbers wear uniforms. "I can't guarantee you won't see a little butt crack," Schlueter says. "Plumbing does involve bending over a lot ... But we are conscious of it and we want to put someone in your home that you feel comfortable with." And that's just better for everyone.

I don't understand why they call it underwear when it is not worn under? Agreed Yervant, I actually hated the large humongous pants that the youth started wearing. It is so undignified and disrespectful when I see very young and beautiful girls/women showing off their bellies at places like Macy's, Bloomingdales and Neiman Marcus. It's not only unbecoming it's just disturbing, discourteous and impudent to flaunt their body parts in colleges, on the streets and department stores. I certainly don't like either of them. (The stupid huge pants that guys have to literally hold their pants to hold it in place and young women flaunting their bellies and their body parts all over the place. I wish they forbid such crude attire or not of it nationwide (all over the U.S.)!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Em Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Just an observation....this fad of low rise jeans has been around for 7+ years in L. A. area, and from the beginninig, the women who objected to it most were the ones who could never pull it off. However, the size 0,2, 4 and 6 sizes looked really good in them. Most women wore them with appropriate (also low cut) underwear; however, those who wanted to show off their panties, did so intentionally. And I will stress and restress this point..whether you like it or not, when all you can find in stores are low cut jeans, you buy and wear LOW CUT JEANS. Unless you can afford to have your clothes custom made, you willl have to settle for what is available. The stores and retailers do dictate what the masses wear. But not to worry, to those offended by this hideous showing of "body parts", you will find the newest trend much more to your puritan likings. http://www.instyle.com/instyle/trends/thel...1614996,00.html I guess high waisted pants are back. Woe to the Melrose/ Ventura crowd. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually if you haven't tried Gap jeans then please go ahead and try some of their jeans, since they have different fits starting from classic, boot cut, high rise and low rise, even those old lady like jeans they offer online,, so it's worth a try if you are looking for a pair of high rise, which I am sure you will find in any gap store,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arpa Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) So! They think they have created those baggy and saggy pants? Do they know that our ancestors, mostly those engaged in the farming business wore them for many millenia? It was known as "shalvar/shalwar". I don't know the origin and the etymology of the word. Is it Arabic? Whay say you Johannes? My hunch is that it may be of Sanskrit/Indian origin. Please allow me one more pun/barakhagh. Does it mean "shal/shawl-var' as in var/below, or vartik? Do a google search using "shalwar" or "shalvar" as a keyword and see what you get. Here is one.

kakachik77 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 (edited) it's really interesting Arpa, because the construction workers in Japan wore those loose fitting pants as well (I was surprised when I saw them, for a moment I thought they looked like the Turkish whirling dervishes) and this is now in 2007 not some 100 years ago! check out the pic http://www.fashionisspinach.com/images/0307/puffypants.jpg Edited August 31, 2007 by kakachik77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woe to the Melrose/ Ventura crowd. Lol. Both my male professors at college have complained to me about the young girls coming to school and in winter times as well mind you showing off their whole bellies. The professors thought that it is utterly improper, out of place and taunting to them males for the way that these young women were dressed in college. Therefore it is not only women such as myself who object about those very low rise jeans and pants that you can see the whole abdomen. I don't believe that it's because you can or cannot pull if off; but there is such a thing as an improper behaviour. I don't think anyone has gone around to ask women who couldn't pull it off that have or haven't objected for showing off their complete bellies by wearing very low rise pants; but there is such a thing as an improper behaviour and descency. I don't care how many stores carries them; I would shop around until I find the high rise pants to wear.

Fashion comes and goes, subcultures come and go, and so do their fashion. If there's one thing that bothers me, it's dress codes, which is why avoid places where I am forced to wear a certain outfit, whether I feel comfortable in it or not. Disrespect-misrespect.

A. area, and from the beginninig, the women who objected to it most were the ones who could never pull it off. Not true. I've always been able to pull it off and still can pull it off, but I won't * I've realized that I can look much sexier and elegant in a classy classic outfit than in low rise pants. I know that I'm much more respected looking classy than looking skimpy. And I still wear the trendy flare leg or the skinny jeans, but I'm reluctant to show off my skin. Those who can pull if off and want to show off much skin can do that. I don't care about that. But I do care about the majority who can't pull it off, yet for some reason believe that it's OK walking down the street with their body fats hanging out from their sides. It's because of these people that I voted "yes" for the dress code. And no, all kinds of pants have always existed. Like Konfetka mentioned, various styles of pants are always available in stores. *Disclaimer: I might have worn very low rise in my first year in college, but that's what immature young "adults" do, right?

Again we agree on this one too anoushik jan!!!! I can also pull it off; but exactly like you feel and think, I always see myself as looking elegant (that means not showing off skin) is far better. Being a fashion savvy person and artistic individual, wherever I go people tend to notice my choice of clothes, how I carry myself with a good knowledge of myself and pride and I turn heads (only because I have been told that I am a very elegant and tasteful dresser). I am not (I repeat I am not) trying to show it off in here by these words; but since it came up again, I am merely stating as myself for an example that YOU DON'T HAVE TO SHOW OFF SKIN TO LOOK REAL NICE AND BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

I didn't offended her, I wasn't referring to her; but solely to the code of ethics of today!!!!!!!!! She should slow down!!!!!! I was merely stating a fact and how I see and view some of the downright crazy way the youth and even middle aged people dress in an extremely distastefull fashion!!!!!! She has picked up a fight with me AGAIN!!!!!!!!! Not me!!!!!!!! If she has been a longer time in here and that is more reason for her to think through rather than fight fight fight and fight some more. We can have different views you know???? All we have to do is exercise more patience and a little bit more gentleness while we have differing views.
