I am up to here with walking down the street and seeing every fourth guy looking like a second-rate supervillain. Oh man, don’t come anywhere near the Coachella Valley then. Everyone from my carpet cleaner to my pharmacy technician to my hair “designer” looks like that. They don’t look like any type of villain, BTW. But it’s definitely over-done here by all types and shapes and colors of guys. ---

Judging by how much I saw that one too at my last trip to Disneyland, I’d say it’s played as well. ---

Pants with things written across the butt. Especially the ones that some girls in my class had–since they were seniors, their pants said “Outta Here.” All I could think of what, “What comes out of a butt?” ---

I gotta go with the guys that wear their pants pulled down so low the belt loops are below the butt-cheeks and the hip pocet is on the back of their knees. So bad they need to keep one hand holding the front to keep them from falling. Hey, buy a vowel!! You look STUPID!!! ---

I’d be willing to sign an affidavit attesting to the fact that Ugg boots are not stylish, will never be stylish, and weren’t stylish when Australian and Kiwi grannies were wearing them in the 1970s. Your Honour, those are my submissions may it please the Court. ---

Admittedly, on the right body, I’ll walk into phonepoles getting an eyeful (my wife’s used to it). However, in my corner of the world, 95% of the time, offenders are several tens of pounds past “the right body”. Sometimes, my beer gut is smaller than theirs. But this is from a shaved headed, goatee with no mustache wearing, tatooed, earring in each ear wannabe, so take it for what it’s worth. 😃 ---

> [@Casey1505](#): > > Low rider hip hugging jeans stretched over a pair of high sitting thongs. > > Enough already. Can I tell you how ubiquitous this is!??! I had gastric bypass surgery in November - so…I"ve been shopping for new clothes. I’m now enjoying jeans with zippers & waistbands again. Even the plus size stores carry these ridiculously low-riding jeans. I managed to find a pair that was relatively normally-designed, and either my memory has faded, or these jeans have THE shortest zipper I’ve ever encountered. Sheesh. VCNJ~ ---

> [@sunfish](#): > > This was supposed to be fashionable? Where did this come from? > It’s okay, I’m heading back into my cave now… with my comfy sandals. See [this](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=275999&highlight=Dutch+fashion) thread and its links. You’ll learn that “Von Dutch” was the _nom-de-guerre_ of Kenneth Howard, who made a name for himself by pinstriping hotrods and doing other similar artwork on cars, motorcycles, and so on. That was in the early Sixties. The clothing line is something that would probably have made him vomit. ---

Also, the huge diamond stud earrings (in both ears), and the megabling. Dude, just get your bank balance printed on a t-shirt - it might be a teeny bit less obvious. ---

As I was in the grocery store line yesterday, a gentleman of his mid-twenties lined up behind me. He had the typical white ‘wifebeater’, but also had squeaky-clean white sneakers, white jean shorts, and a white hat turned to an angle. :rolleyes: I had to bite my tongue from saying, “Yo, Eminem, what’s the story?” I don’t get the whole hat thing. Can someone fill me in? Tripler “Honestly officer, I was just straightening his hat out with this clue by four. . .” ---

I wish American women would shelve the urban waif hairstyle with the unevenly-cut wisps of hair sticking out, and the zig-zaggedy part that looks as if you’re so poverty-stricken that you can’t afford a mirror. Yeah, it looked cute on Anne Heche eight years ago, but even Anne Heche has moved on. ---

The waist band was wide though, so I was decently covered. Really. ---

They are just finally starting to sell jeans with a decent inseam/rise whatever. I like my jeans below my belly button, but not by much. So I would like to agree that any pants that you need to wax to wear should be banned. Right now. No. Two years ago.
