Are low waisted Jeans skanky tacky?
 

I was just talking to a lady that told me that low waisted pants are generally considered skanky at her school.

I was wondering what the general opinion of GC was?

I just thought low waisted pants on a hard body was hot.

I was that lady.

Low waisted jeans lack all class. No one wears them here, thank god.

Re: Are low waisted Jeans skanky tacky?
 

My answer is yes and no.

Personally, I love low jeans. I like the way they hold on for dear life on my hips.

But, I CANNOT STAND IT when I see people wearing them and underwear is showing...if not that, then asscracks/coin slots/whatever. That, IMO, is tacky.

While I hardly consider low waisted jeans as skanky, I'd hate for anyone to think of me that way. I've seen other articles of clothing that are definitely worse.

While I'm proud of my body and I feel like I have a right to show off my midriff if I want, there's a time and place for everything. :)

OohTeenyWahine beat me to the underwear thing. You wanna show off thos tanned toned hips? Okay. You wanna show off your underwear though? Chances are it ain't the place hon. :)

Ditto.

Low-rise jeans are sexy until you can see underwear hanging out or ass cracks. There are just some things that were made to stay hidden.

And of course it all depends on context.

Re: Re: Are low waisted Jeans skanky tacky?
 

I agree. Low waist jeans are skanky when your underwear (or lack thereof), butt crack and/or butt cheeks are showing. Disgusting. :o

Re: Re: Re: Are low waisted Jeans skanky tacky?
 

Agreed!

I don't know ladies . . .

If the girl is hot, I don't think most guys mind seeing her thong or partially revealed rear-end. ;)

I think it all depends on who is wearing it. I have to agree with James if the girl looks good and she is showing of her thong or butt crack I doubt many guys would complain unless they are religous or in the presence of the mother or gf/wife. lol

Yeah, but we're not discussing whether or not men find it attractive; we're discussing whether or not it's trashy.

There are a number of things that men find attractive that are pretty skanky. :p

I like low-waisted jeans. They just look better on me. But I agree with everyone else... if the underwear is showing or you can see some crack, it's not cool. Also, hate to say it, but there are some people who should just not wear them.

Re: Re: Re: Are low waisted Jeans skanky tacky?
 

I couldn't agree more.

I don't feel regular low cut jeans are tacky(depending on how they are worn of course) but those super duper low rise jeans I do find somewhat tacky, but that's just me :)

I wear low-waisted jeans out. I make sure my thong isn't hanging out, and when I walk up a stair case I make sure nothing is showing. I've worn low-waisted jeans with shirts that show off my midriff--I'm not self-consious about it nor am I a skank. I've never thought about the association before, just regarded it as a fashion trend.

I was walking through the local mall the other day, and saw this drop dead gorgeous woman headed towards me - you know, the type that makes you gasp and you just know that Beloved is scorching his retinas?

As she got closer, we could both see her thong - from the front. It completely detracted from her looks.

God bless him, Beloved said, "She's too pretty to dress so trashy!" :)

Guys may like the look, but showing all you own isn't the way to their hearts!

The way I see it, I have a nice body, I don't wear them low enough for someone to see my G-string or bootie crack--what's so trashy about that?

If you've got it, flaunt it. Who am I to hate on anyone?

I concur with what's been said above. It all depends on the presentation. I personally will not wear them, because I am not shaped right for them. I can't stand it when girls wear them just because they are the style-but have their baby-fat bellies or love handles hanging out of them. if you have a belly you have no business wearing them.... Sometimes I wonder if people have lost their mirrors....

I have a few pairs of low waisted pants since that is all that I can find in the stores nowadays. I show no crack, so there is no harm done. :p

The worst of all is seeing a 13 or 14 year old girl with low waisted jeans on, showing her thong. Yuck! It's all the rage with the mallrat crowd right now.

This all reverts back to my dissertation on the Brittney Spears-ification of American girls, though.

I couldn't agree more!!!!

it is much sexier when you think you are about to see something. i love low waisted pants. i have them in jeans and khakis. my mom HATES them. i think it is a mildstone for me, cause i used to think my body was ugly. actually, my pants aren't labeled 'low waisted'. they just sit really low on my body. i dont like to show my underwear, but it does accidentally play peek a boo.

every girl should not wear low riders. at school, i see a lot of girls wearing them that are (quite frankly) not built for them. i do not want to see rolls. i think that is more skanky then seeing underwear.

they're OK if thongs, butt cracks and pubic regions are tucked away. I agree that if you don't have the bod for them you shouldn't wear them - however, it's really hard sometimes to find anything but low-riders if you want other features like flared legs (I'm really ready for those to be over, but that's another subject). If you have to buy them and you know your gut is going to hang over them, for the love of all things holy cover it up.

You'll be called Steve Urkel if you don't wear low rise jeans where I'm from. Even my mom wears them. :D

Like someone said, they are fine as long as no crack or draws* are showing.



*draws are slang for undies, surprisingly some don't know that.

I like my women in expensive denim.

-Rudey
--That is all

i hate when fat girls where these and you can see their fat stomach hanging out.

its gross.

Let me clarify:

None of us wear jeans at the natural waist (for those of us who wear jeans regularly, who are few and far between). But hip huggers??? No way. I can't imagine someone wearing those. wow.

Neither. And i'm a big fan :D

Thongs sticking out the back with little phrases for me to read when i'm walkin behind you or sitting behind you in class are a bonus. :p

Course, that's if i'm in those places. I don't want to see the girls at the school i'm teaching at wearing them. Fortunately the fashion on the rez is more hip-hop style with the baggy pants, big hoodies, etc.

KS 361 beers i've got for the inventor of the thong :D

Yeah I like the girls with visible thongs. That makes things simpler and we know how to act towards you.

-Rudey
--Red pretty much means take me now in the bathroom and when you're done slap my arse.

That is too funny! :p

oh crap dude.

Now you're gonna get em all riled up. I'm giving this thread 5 more posts before someone accuses you of having said that Women who get raped bring it on themselves.

but, at least it'll make this thread interesting.

KS 361 feminazi's gonna be trackin down rudey

Yeah umm I don't know how it's done in Texas, but yeah no rape involved in bathroom sex.

-Rudey
--And ladies, by bathroom sex, I mean the urinal.

women who dress slutty invite people to rape them.

its true.

I believe it's all about finding a style that flatters your figure, and if low-waisted jeans look nicer on you (as they do on me), nmore power to you - go for it!

I try to steer clear of ones that are TOO, TOO low, but I like designer denim, and sometimes I may flash a little too much if I lean forward on my bar stool. I just think it's about using your best judgement - there is a time and place for everything. I mean, sure, my lowest jeans may be a little skanky, but if I wear them out to the clubs or bars, that's alright... wearing them to church would not be. My jeans may be trashy, but I'm not.

And not to be a brat, but a lot of times the people who judge are just jealous because their boyfriend is staring...

Sidenote: For anyone who has ever taken any fashion classes, it's really all just about shifting erogenous zones... I mean, in the Victorian era, showing your ankles was "skanky" too! Anyway, that was just a freshman-year-of-college class flashback for me!

sorry, bud.

this is the part that i was referring to. I guess the Red thing could be construed that way too. I dont' know though, you know how certain GCers like to take posts out of context and infer flammatory meanings.

KS 361 times i'm with Sisqo, Let me See that Thong!

Not jealous. I just don't like when people leave skidmarks on the barstools. :p

Okay I have to be a brat for a second... I'm sure you're just kidding but people can say low-waisted jeans are tacky and then make comments like that, and act like that's not? Sorry, I'd take grace, composure and clean mouth in a pair of low-rise jeans over someone who speaks crassly any day, no matter what they wear. Not picking a fight, but GROSS!!!

I bet you're wearing a black thong right now.

-Rudey
--Because you've got confidence baby!

This is not always true...women who dress with confidence are less likely to be raped. Rapist look for someone who will make a good victim, low self estem, etc. I am sure it depends on the situation too. But if I am wrong someone please tell me. I took a class and this is what they told me.

No it's true... attackers often go after girls who are unaware of their surroundings, slumping and staring at the ground. If you are sure of yourself and strutting it, they may be intimidated to approach you.

Oh, and Rudey... actually it's red today, thank you very much.

What's up with the ones that have like 3 inches between the crotch and the button? At work we call those the "Show My Cooch Low Rise"
