At the asshole end of the twentieth century

Enough.

As the Arbiter of Everything, I hereby declare that low-slung trousers have gone low enough. At the point where your belt is below your buttocks, it is silly and you should stop it and remember where your hips are.

Is that clear, everyone ? Good.

I was amused/alarmed when riding down Cowley road to be over-taken by the swaying behind of a young gentleman on a BMX bike. He was riding in that weird standing position BMX riders do, and his jeans belt was indeed below his arse. The interesting thing was I wasn't sure whether I was looking at his underwear, or whether the manufacturers have actually gotten wise to the foibles of their stylistically challenged consumers, and whether, like you can get blouses pre-sewn into jumpers, you can get low-rider jeans with prepared arse-cover pouches, that extend, clinging to the hips, as the jeans sink down.

If they have I applaud them. If I was looking at his underwear, I feel icky.

Taking this to its logical extreme one could have a pair of "inner trousers" worn to prevent the waist-down nudity which might otherwise be cause by the associated "outer trousers" being literally around the wearer's ankles !

Hurrah! The days of fashionable leggins return!

Well, according to my up-to-the-minute fashion-tips (courtesy of Elle magazine), leggings are the thing for this season.

Under skirts, I think, rather than under falling-down trousers, but y'know. It's a step.
