Spinoff Thread: Cutesy-Wootsey Fashion Statements

When is the fashion for wearing your trousers halfway down your arse going to die out?

Personally, I hate that jeans became a fashion statement. Used to be able to buy a good pair of work jeans fairly reasonable - now even plain ones are astronomical. The blue collar crew salutes you, Fashion World - and you know how.

Ball caps on ALWAYS and at the table! I know this is old fashioned, but have some manners. It's one thing to cover your head everywhere you go, but remove the hat when you sit down to eat.

I've been known to walk around a restaurant and *accidentally* knock them off of heads when I see them. Of course, the parents and I always exchange a wink so they know I'm not unfairly picking on their angels. It just drives me crazy.

Droopy jeans FTL.

I was in high school when saggy jeans began to appear. Now I'm old enough to have teenagers of my own and the trend still hasn't died. By all rights, saggy jeans should be completely out of style and labeled as "weak crap my parents wore."

Then in about 10 years, it should rear its ugly...rear and become "retro-cool" for a brief time before dying out altogether. Why are saggy pants immune to the cycles that regulate other stupid-looking fashions? Why won't they die? They're ass-zombies!
