Ban on saggy jeans, trousers – Alabama plans to take necessary action


A councilor of Alabama wants to see a ban imposed on saggy jeans, trousers and shorts. The legal team of Dadeville is, at present, engrossed in drafting the wording of the public dress code before it goes to a vote.
This has been reported in news.sky.com dated 15 September 2015.
As a City Council member has remarked - God would not go around with pants down and has sought Divine intervention to change the thinking. The ordinance is being rewritten to include a ban on short skirts – because, they also need a bit of policing and it would not be only the men who would fall foul of the fashion police.
In the opinion of a woman councilor, the girls go in for shorts up so high that they look like under garments and the dresses are so short.
Incidentally, Opa-Locka, Florida, and Wildwood, New Jersey, are other communities that have already imposed ban on low-slung clothing. This trend, known as sagging, has spread through the hip-hop culture of the 1990s.
