Dallas mulls crackdown on saggy pants

DALLAS, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- The Dallas city council is considering banning droopy pants that expose underwear but teenagers are saying they're already out of date and so eighth-grade.

Last week, city attorneys were asked to determine if a ban would be enforceable but The Dallas Morning News learned it could be moot.

Irving Campbell, who works at a clothing store, told the newspaper fashion police would have a hard time fining anyone, as the saggy pants most often are now covered by T-shirts that hang down to the knee.

"Tall tees are the biggest thing out now," Campbell said. "Wasn't the underwear thing in the '90s with Kris Kross?"

Interviewed in a mall food court, Andrew Mgbenu, 18, said showing the top of underwear was for juveniles.

"Kids haven't done that since eighth grade," he told the Morning News.
