Style Watch: Pants That Fit

This gives new meaning to boyfriend jeans. Ladies and gents, don't let your boyfriends do this to their jeans. NY State Senator Eric Adams has put up six billboards around Brooklyn in the fight against saggy pants. Since there's nothing better happening in our state or world, for that matter, I can't blame him. As you've probably already guessed as you're yelling at the screen, these billboards have caused controversy. Many observers have pinned it as racist and stereotyping African-Americans. In today's WWD, Russell Simmons responds "There is no connection to saggy pants and the ability to succeed. Just look at what buttoned-up America has done to the rest of the world and each other." Church. Well, if the pants fit...you can save money on a belt.
