That guy's wearing fashionably over-sized sports-related attire!

Yeah! They wear the same size stuff but it FITS them.

(I would like to thank the stylish types for forcing the manufacturers to make more clothes my size. This does not count the stuff that is stamped XXXL but is really M or even S.)

What a strange nonsequitor…

They make something for that or maybe you’d like to try some Therapy Putty.

I just thank the Lord that big baggy oversized shirts are fashionable at the same time that big baggy low-riding pants are in style. This combo has saved us from many visual horrors.

Speaking of visual horrors, you should have seen the gym shorts we wore in the 70s. Did you know that guys have thighs?

Thighs, and occasionally, bits of nutsacks peeping out.

This has got to be the funniest and most potentially offensive thing I’ve read all day.

…and fuck you for beating me to it.

Thanks, I’ll be here all week. :slight_smile:

Yep, and unfortunately it no longer matters.

Baggy oversized pants make people look like they have no legs and their arms are too short, like some short of troglodytish mutant shuffling around with the intention of finding braaaaains for their masters. Of course, the impression is hightened by the sort of shuffling hunch-backed dragging arm posture these people tend to adopt, as if they are acively devolving into some sort of subhuman. ( and yes, I know there is no such thing as devolution).

I find it hard to resist laughing when I see these people, they just look so stupid, and it’s on purpose.

However, baggy oversized shorts that are not sagged so the the waistline is somewhere in the middle of the thigh actually look good, as opposed to 70s style shorts that look like ass.

What really peeves me about the trend for youngun’s to wear oversized clothing is that they buy up all the clothing in the sizes that fit me!

I went into Macy’s… Macy’s fer chrissake, in the Levi’s department… and couldn’t find anything even close to my size because the latino gangsta’s all want “fifties.” As in 50-inch waistline jeans.

The damn things are so oversized on them that they have to sew the hems into their fucking shoes.

At the time, I had a 48-inch waist and needed something besides XXL drawstring pants from Target. And the prices at the Big&Tall store, if they had jeans that didn’t look like ass, were astronomical.

It was so bad I was forced to lose weight just so I could find clothing that fit. (OK, well, that and not die of obesity-related complications, but I had my priorities…)

Once, walking around school, I saw a guy with Tommy Hilfiger ™ emblazed on every visible piece of clothing he had on. I stood, stunned.

I beg to differ. I LIKE the snugger running shorts of the 70s on a man. And no shirt, no shirt is good too.
:smiley:

Around here it has become fashionable of late to wear sun visors upside down and turned about two thirds around. Because you wouldn’t want to be caught dead with your upside-down sun visor all the way backwards, that’s so last year.

Several of the seven-year old boys in my class wear the baggy-long-shorts-with-six-inches-of-underwear-hanging-out, high-tops-with-laces-so-loose-they-fall-off outfit. It looks just as stupid on them.

bits of nutsacks?
Yeesh!

I learned early on to wear a jockstrap so my entire scrotum wouldn’t flop out of one leghole and my wang out of the other!
Or else just wear the shorts over a pair of grey sweatpants. (yeesh!)

DAMN those gym uniforms were ugly!

Tell that to Mark Mothersbaugh.
Should I admit that I was just listing to Jocko Homo on the way to work this morning?

Not to pick nits or anything…

Ummmmm, when come back, bring pi + 0.004197…???

There a great cartoon, I think it was a Bizarro cartoon that was about “the evolution of young men’s fashion in the late 20th century” or something and it showed the “future” projection of a guy wearing his pants around his ankles. It was pretty funny I tell ya.

Hmm. What’s the point of that? I mean, unless they looked like ass on the front; but that would be silly- people wouldn’t know which way you were facing when they saw you from the waist down.

Nah…they could tell by the “bits of nutsacks” hanging out.
