For the past 6 weeks I've been on a diet (And in a constant state of hunger) and have successfully lost 3/4 stone (Not sure what that is in pounds, so you'll have to trust me when I say it's good.), so on Saturday when I put on a pair of 3/4 length shorts I had a problem ...The shorts wouldn't stay up - we went to the local market Saturday morning, and I was holding all the shopping whilst trying to also hold my shorts up and not end up looking like a rapper or rapper wannabee .. I've done some research on the whole 'wearing jeans so low half your arse is visible' thing, and apparently Michael Jordan is to blame as he wore long shorts when playing basketball, his contempories all wearing short shorts ... Not sure how this ties in with wearing jeans very low, but it was on the internet so it must be true.
Also the US prison system has a lot to answer for as their prison clothes are poorly fitted, and as belts are a suicide risk, low-riding jeans are the order of the day - as rappers like to show they're from the streets (Whilst driving their Humvees to their 180 room mansions with the 120" TV screens) , they wear their designer jeans in tribute to their brothers in the pen (Or something), so keeping it real.
I did almost ask the white, middle-class student I saw getting off the train last week, wearing jeans that where the waist band was almost down to his knees, how exactly you size them? Do you get your waist size (I'm down two sizes now incidentally!) or so you get your knee size? Questions .. Questions ... Questions ...
