Usual view of a certain segment of young men, ethnic group not specific, as it crosses all color lines, is pants hanging at mid-buttocks with the crotch somewhere mid-thigh. This is often on skinny guys and over these low-riders is a huge tee-shirt or sweatshirt. But today’s took the cake. Imagine if you will, a not-so-skinny-young man, well groomed, low riding dark jeans, leather shoes and to top it off, a light blue sports jacket – buttoned – and starched dress shirt. The gap, over the backside, between the end of the jacket flaps and the top of the belted jeans is inexplicable. ‘Truly, blowin’ in the wind.’ ‘The twain shall never meet.’ 24 hours later I am still unable to reconcile the style, or what I saw. I mean gives new meaning to ‘mixed metaphor’.

At the risk of seeming to try one ups man ship I followed a young woman in the checkout line at the grocery a few days ago. She was 20ish, heavy and round — the female version on The Michelin Man — in shorts that were too short on both ends. She and her boyfriend were oblivious to the lack of coverage punctuated by a wedgie. Can’t ask “what was she thinking?” because obviously she wasn’t.
As for your blazer-clad youth, he probably needed to have an I.D. Photo taken so dressed from the waist up for the occasion.
