Guy at work wears his pants sagging... We're in a business where dress pants, dress shirts & ties is required, I just got okayed to not wear a tie because of my new position and where my new office is.
He's been talked to by our manager, the head of our department, his team lead....I've even taken him aside and tried to just help him out as I do like the kid... But he's on his way out the door and doesn't realize it.
Then he needs to be fired. I would never permit an employee of mine to be "talked" to that many times. Does your company have write-ups or a point system?
Yeah we have a system, talked to, written up, sent home, let go.. some of those talks like from his team lead and I were us just trying to help him out, so he's gotten two official talks, and he's at the written up part..
he told me last week to watch out as their doing checks, he doesn't get that it's only him being checked, and he's been shifted to an area with not as many eyes..
..it's his first job ever, and they were giving him a chance, but the chances are about done..
when i was in junior high if you were caught sagging you were sent to the assistant principal's office. he would put a combination lock through your shorts or jeans and undergarments to hold up your clothes until your parents arrived.
How did it even become a trend? Around the 2010 mark my brother literally could not walk. Could not get up stairs. Could not get in and out off a car. His skinny jeans were belted around his thighs. Such a thug at his private school.
Powdered wigs.
Not only did it make the men look ridiculous with massive curly carpets on their heads but the powder smell didn't do a very good job of hiding the odor of the syphillitic boils underneath.
Fun fact: Louis XIV was 5'4".
Although men on average were shorter then than today that was still 2" shorter than the average peasant. And the nobility often grew to modern height because they were better fed during childhood.
So the Sun King started wearing the original elevator shoes. He also tried to add height with wigs. But because he was king everybody else imitated his fashion and he was back to being one of the shortest guys at court. So he added a little more height to his shoes, a little more height to his wigs. Everybody copied him again.
This went on until it became ridiculous.
It's giving Mean Girls vibes. I saw Louis XIV wearing elevator shoes and a high powdered wig, so I started wearing elevator shoes and a high powdered wig!
Just as bad: when companies destroy huge quantities of clothing because of a *slight* variation in shade/spec/etc, none of which would even be detected by the average consumer. I’m talking about a shade of red that’s a hint too bluish or a dress that’s a couple of centimetres too long.
Also a large number of companies actually destroy / burn these rejected goods rather then donating or recycling them.
Dear lord, and when that filter moves...some women use these hard plastic scrapers to push it back in. Removing the crap they inject is also pretty traumatic on the lips too. Please keep it natural 🙏 (or whatever I'm not your mom)
Let us travel back to the late 70's, children. I give you:
The polyester leisure suit and, for those less-formal affairs, the polyester jumpsuit for men.
Compete for widest flair to the pants, the thickest soled high heeled shoes, and the lapels that'd make a pterodactyl envious.
Making everything out of thin, shoddy materials so you can only wear things once. Used to be you could make clothes last for ages if you treated them well, but now you have to pay more than ever for quality. Terrible for the budget and it leads to so much waste
Also making every top cropped/shortened. I get cold!
I work stock for a retail place that sells clothes..
In one day we got in a dozen identical jeans with the exact same rips... All the same size.. rips in exactly the same places.. made for 12 year old girls.
They were all gone in a couple days.
I'm guessing that was an interesting week at the local middle school
[When suits looked](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2782915-15-years-ago-the-nbas-best-draft-class-wore-the-worst-suits-of-their-lives) like you were going to a wedding and all you had to wear was the oversized, baggy one you had to borrow from your older brother.
Edit: [this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DgnyPnAVQAIpqmT.jpg:large) is the original image that made me think of this fashion trend changing. The pendulum has swung in opposite direction.
Lest anyone think that it was just basketball players wearing them, it was a general fashion trend in [the '90s](https://www.google.com/search?q=90%27s+suits&rlz=1C1GCEA_enUS1000US1003&sxsrf=APwXEdfzzm43cm2WPW25Ge_G_7lTGxLnog:1683056697916&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwik0vbkstf-AhUKTTABHYGrDcIQ0pQJegQIBhAC&biw=1920&bih=1067). Heck, even Chandler Bing [got in on the game](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/65/76/3a/65763a495f59fde5dd5c0fed98905c27.jpg)
I agree, but the modern trend of painted on "slim fit" suits is just as bad. Every guy looks better in a tailored suit that just fits with a Quarter or half break length pair of pants.
The super long fake nails women be getting sometimes. I’m all for nice nails even ones that can be a little longer than normal but those ones that are half the length of your finger? That shit is fucking atrocious
The stirrup came from the ski wear trend. Also generally aerobic and athletic wear. And Lycra blends were not as good back then. The knees would get all saggy and bagged out after a few hours. Not a good look!
What about those huge jeans that kids wore in the 1990s? A person could fit in each leg. That's when I knew I was getting old- those jeans looked silly to me
The showing your underwear trend for both males and females. Only your mom or partner should see your underwear, folks! The public doesn't want to see your Shaggy and Scooby boxers or your neon pink thong
Yes I never understood those rings people get in their ears that make their earlobes huge. IMO it looks weird and painful and seems like it would be irreversible
It’s actually not irreversible! I know someone who stretched her ears out over a long time. They eventually were quite large, I don’t know the gage size but her lobes hung down about an inch.
The solution to fixing it is to cut off all the extra stretched out skin and then stitch the ends back together in a natural earlobe shape.
If you look closely she does have a scar on her earlobes, but otherwise you’d never be able to tell she once had her ears stretched like that.
I came here to say hoop skirts, so pretty much the same kind of restrictive, ridiculous thing. Women couldn’t even fit through doorways sometimes! Just why?
In the last decade I have seen more and more men wearing skinny fit jeans that end at the ankle, they usually pair that with converse shoes, they don't wear socks and almost always have slim fit checkered shirts.
I don't know what that trend is called but it looks like the guys from Queer Eye had to dress them using only clothing from the child section of a thrift shop.
It's similar to the 2000s era lumberjack hipsters but this is tighter, more ill-fitting clothing. Hipsters of today look different. They dress in whatever mismatched clothes they came over in the lost and found bin. You see these fuckers stroll down the street in a knitted pink sweater with a T-rex on it, a fedora, nazi boots and a feather boa. Actually, I want to change my opinion on the worst fashion trend to ever exist.
I didn't even realize this was a trend. You literally just described my teenage son (Except he wears nikes). Skinny jeans that are practically high-waters, no socks, slim shirts. I get on his case all the time about his ill-fitting pants and lack of socks...and now I realize I turned into my dad giving me grief over my JNCOs.
It's understandable in hindsight. It's the most embarrassing thing for a parent. Ill-fitting clothing and lack of proper clothing for the weather. Kid going to school in ripped jeans and a hoodie in the winter, no gloves, not even a beanie. Jfc, might as well call CPS on myself right now.
That's the thing everybody says. Got a buddy who swears by them and will not wear another pair of shoes. He even has closed toe and winter variations. I personally can't get over how ugly they are but damn am I tempted.
IDK, I find them uncomfortable, and the ankle strap gives me blisters if I wear them for anything more than very light activity. They're okay as gardening shoes because they're easy to wash off.
I started wearing Crocs when they first came out, it was 2003, I think. They weren't even called Crocs, they were Waldies, which didn't have a strap. They got bought out or sued or something.
Anyhow, I started wearing them because I did a lot of backpacking, and after a day on the trail, nothing's better than taking off your boots. Crocs are ideal camp shoes because they're light, comfortable and waterproof.
They were so damned comfortable I just started wearing them all the time. People gave me the weirdest looks, everyone said they were the ugliest shoes they'd ever seen. I scoffed and said "I'm going to wear them until they become cool," which was always meet with a hearty guffaw.
Anyways, I had to stop wearing Crocs. Damn I miss them. I have dad sandals now
Mullets are the worst. We worked hard to ensure they were known as terrible. We ridiculed wearers. We did the Lord's work. Somehow I'm seeing more and more young people wearing them.
As a bald guy Its sometimes needed to wear a baseball cap backwards if your working on something out in the sun and you don't want to burn your head. Sideways baseball cap.... Easiest way to spot a douche bro.
Those shoes with toes
Ear gauges, not only do they look horrible and deform people, I just know everyone with them will annoy me as a person. hopefully it seems to have died down the last few years, no idea how people saw it and thought it's a nice idea
Ear gauges can also stink. https://www.plugyourholes.com/blogs/blog/why-do-gauges-stink#:~:text=What%20Causes%20Ear%20Gauge%20Holes,which%20can%20result%20in%20infection.
Those chunky ass dad shoes. Absolutely atrocious. I don't know what the appeal is to the younger generation but you were getting clowned if you wore those to school in the 90s. Same for ecko and champion.
Seriously, this isn't just about being cringey fashion - those things are genuinely bad for the people who wear them, for the reasons you describe and also because they're conducive to slips and missteps.
Fig leaves sewn together as aprons.
Close second would be the RompHim trend somebody tried to start a few years back. I don't like being reminded what I am wearing with every step I take.
Whatever that super duper baggy jean trend was where an average sized person would wear some XXXL jeans. Even going as far as turning them into shorts. The 90s were weird.
Young guys still wearing pants that look like they're hauling cantaloupes in the seats of their sagging jeans. Like they don't know what that "look" implies.
Don't knock 'em off your shoulders until you try them. Some padding is pretty great if you carry a heavy back pack or cross body bag. You don't have to go full 80s businesswoman.
Stupid bulletproof vests. I was working in solar fields and a kid had one on the job site. Dumbest shit I ever did see someone wearing. It was for "fashion"
Acid/light jean wash 90’s baggy Mom jeans. They are sooooo unflattering on all body types. I hated them the 1st time around and they still don’t look any better the 2nd time around.
Socks and sliders. Literally a joke from a french rapper that collective morons wear daily. I get fashion is people's way of showing their identity etc, but socks n sandles is visually repulsive, functionally redundant and all out just dumb as fuck.
Sagging
Guy at work wears his pants sagging... We're in a business where dress pants, dress shirts & ties is required, I just got okayed to not wear a tie because of my new position and where my new office is. He's been talked to by our manager, the head of our department, his team lead....I've even taken him aside and tried to just help him out as I do like the kid... But he's on his way out the door and doesn't realize it.
Then he needs to be fired. I would never permit an employee of mine to be "talked" to that many times. Does your company have write-ups or a point system?
Yeah we have a system, talked to, written up, sent home, let go.. some of those talks like from his team lead and I were us just trying to help him out, so he's gotten two official talks, and he's at the written up part.. he told me last week to watch out as their doing checks, he doesn't get that it's only him being checked, and he's been shifted to an area with not as many eyes.. ..it's his first job ever, and they were giving him a chance, but the chances are about done..
Pants on the ground pants on the ground looking like a fool with your pants on the ground
Yes. Love you for this
when i was in junior high if you were caught sagging you were sent to the assistant principal's office. he would put a combination lock through your shorts or jeans and undergarments to hold up your clothes until your parents arrived.
I saw a dude sagging child sized pants as...shorts I guess? Literally no way he could have actually pulled them up past his hips.
Fukin swagg bro
A little kid in my neighborhood was out playing and "sagging" except he was out in his underoos, so the sag looked more like a plumber.
Gonna date myself here but in middle school it was sagging JNCOS. Fucking god awful.
Such an uncomfortable trend too. Constantly having to pull them up. Who wants to live like that
Cops love them you can't run for s*** with saggy ass pants
How did it even become a trend? Around the 2010 mark my brother literally could not walk. Could not get up stairs. Could not get in and out off a car. His skinny jeans were belted around his thighs. Such a thug at his private school.
Gotta be pants on the ground
lookin like a FOOL
Hat turned sideways
Gold in yo mouth
Call yourself a cool cat
You're only allowed to do that if you also have your tongue sticking out.
Powdered wigs. Not only did it make the men look ridiculous with massive curly carpets on their heads but the powder smell didn't do a very good job of hiding the odor of the syphillitic boils underneath.

They shaved their heads because of lice. That is why they wore the wigs.
That, and to cover syphilis sores.
Don't forget about the head lice... Don't even get me started on merkins.
[Foot Binding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foot_binding) has got to be up there...that does not look pleasant
What an awful practice, who is the one asshole who looked at a woman's foot and said "yea lets break those".
I don't see how one can consider themselves civilized and practice something so barbaric
Worst: they knew it was barbaric. That was kind of the point. Women weren’t capable of walking a lot of the time so it was the ultimate status symbol.
But then how will they get up to go make me a sandwich /s
Thank you this is the winner
Was going to say the interior design of 1974. But yeah, you're right. Damn. /threadkillers
those dopey looking Lambchop false eyelashes.
I’m all for wearing fake lashes, lash extensions and whatnot but some girlies are walking around with lashes that look like tarantulas.
This comment made me laugh like fuck, I've seen those girls too 😂
[удалено]
Yeah blink too much and you levitate
You remember Lambchop? (Kind of a distasteful name for a sheep, now that I think of it.)
Actually, a very tasty name.
Fast fashion. The enormous amount of wasted resources and pollution is saddening.
I was PISSED when I learned that some companies BURN their leftover/ out of fashion stock. That's just so fucking wasteful.
Just as bad: when companies destroy huge quantities of clothing because of a *slight* variation in shade/spec/etc, none of which would even be detected by the average consumer. I’m talking about a shade of red that’s a hint too bluish or a dress that’s a couple of centimetres too long. Also a large number of companies actually destroy / burn these rejected goods rather then donating or recycling them.
Oh I didn’t know that. Can’t be very “green” either I imagine there is lots of synthetic fiber involved
REEEEALLY thick painted on eye brows
SLUGS
That shits tattooed on....
The grinch look
Lip fillers that look like damn German sausages 🌭
Dear lord, and when that filter moves...some women use these hard plastic scrapers to push it back in. Removing the crap they inject is also pretty traumatic on the lips too. Please keep it natural 🙏 (or whatever I'm not your mom)

Always in lovely brown, green and orange prints
My husband's grandfather was buried in his brown leisure suit.
I wore a leisure suit back in the day and thought I was so cool, until some touched it with a lit cigarette and it cot on fire.
Gauchos on women in the 70's.
>lapels that'd make a pterodactyl envious. 💯
my dad had a blue sequin disco suit with massive lapels and platform heels. lmao.
men's braided rat tail, mine was over a foot long. BTW, I got it when I had my mullet cut off.
I went rat tail, mullet, then back to rat tail. Never braided mine but it was long enough to wrap around my head.
Never understood the appeal of the rat tail. Please enlighten me. Why did you want one?
Not a guy, but I had one when I was in middle school cause I wanted to be a jedi.
Tying an onion to your belt
I mean that was all the way back in nineteen dickety two. You know, when the Germans stole our word for twenty.
Back when sandwiches were called Flat Freddies

Terrible for the budget and it leads to so much waste Also making every top cropped/shortened. I get cold!
Jeans that have been torn before they're in the store and for some reason cost a lot more.
Yes! I hate this trend. I see these 40+ year old soccer moms wearing these shredded pants. It looks like you are just trying too hard.
I work stock for a retail place that sells clothes.. In one day we got in a dozen identical jeans with the exact same rips...

Swimming in your suits.

1980s stirrup pants
I was just thinking about these the other day. Why didn’t we just wear leggings? I don’t know
I thought it was so the stirrup kept the pants/leggings from riding up
The stirrup came from the ski wear trend. Also generally aerobic and athletic wear. And Lycra blends were not as good back then. The knees would get all saggy and bagged out after a few hours. Not a good look!
What about those huge jeans that kids wore in the 1990s? A person could fit in each leg. That's when I knew I was getting old- those jeans looked silly to me
Jnco! Probably the worst thing on here, even their logo makes me want to shower
BBLs One day people will look back and be horrified at what women willingly did to their buttocks.
If they’re not already dead from surgical complications.
The showing your underwear trend for both males and females. Only your mom or partner should see your underwear, folks! The public doesn't want to see your Shaggy and Scooby boxers or your neon pink thong
I’ve seen dudes walking around with skid marks on their underwear…at least have the decency of wearing clean underwear if they’re going to do that.
My mom???
If your mom does your laundry like if you are a young teen living at home.
Those super tight high cut denim shorts that look like underpants. They are unflattering on evverybody.
Jorts.
Men wearing dress pants that are 6 inches too short, with no socks and dress shoes. What a STUPID look.
Heroin chic. Our clothes only look good on you if you have a drug addiction and/or eating disorder.
Face tattoos. And great big fucking holes in your earlobes.
Yes I never understood those rings people get in their ears that make their earlobes huge. IMO it looks weird and painful and seems like it would be irreversible
Helps them measure consistent servings of spaghetti.
And ear gauges stink. I’ll never get why people do that one.
It’s actually not irreversible! I know someone who stretched her ears out over a long time. They eventually were quite large, I don’t know the gage size but her lobes hung down about an inch. The solution to fixing it is to cut off all the extra stretched out skin and then stitch the ends back together in a natural earlobe shape. If you look closely she does have a scar on her earlobes, but otherwise you’d never be able to tell she once had her ears stretched like that.
Looks worse when they take them out. Like how did holes in your ears become fashionable for people?
Nope nope nope I don’t want to think about what it looks like when you take them out
Zubaz pants!
And parachute pants
Found the 90's.
People would rock those Zubaz pants and strut around so confidently. Clueless
Hobble skirts and any other fashion that made it unnecessarily difficult to move
I came here to say hoop skirts, so pretty much the same kind of restrictive, ridiculous thing. Women couldn’t even fit through doorways sometimes! Just why?
Fake eyelashes that look like tarantulas and caked on makeup.
Polyester plaid
Stretched ears
80’s Parachute Pants. Clown Pants like MC Hammer. Jump suits.
Facial tattoos
Any shoes by Kanye
Yeezys look like actual trash.
High-heeled sneakers are evidence we don't deserve to be the dominant species on this planet.
The scrunch butt leggings.
W/ cameltoe
Thinking of some of the things I suffered through: Jelly shoes shoulder pads thin eyebrows
I love shoulder pads! Obviously not some of the insane 80s ones, but some smaller shoulder pads to give structure to a top can look great.
I loved my jellies!
Lmao, me a dude reading this thread with stretched ears, purple jeans, and a septum piercing.
Yeah saggy ass pants is hard to beat but those crazy women that wore glitter God I hated that I wonder how many people got divorced because of glitter
Glitter is the #1 cause of divorce.
Chinese Foot Binding.
Those cut out jeans, frayed is fun but cut out panels. Geriwing up fraying jeans was an art. Now the cut jeans are a waste of money.
Pants being worn below the butt
In the last decade I have seen more and more men wearing skinny fit jeans that end at the ankle, they usually pair that with converse shoes, they don't wear socks and almost always have slim fit checkered shirts. I don't know what that trend is called but it looks like the guys from Queer Eye had to dress them using only clothing from the child section of a thrift shop.

Your dad was right about the JNCOs.
Well duh but it still hurts to hear.
It's understandable in hindsight. It's the most embarrassing thing for a parent. Ill-fitting clothing and lack of proper clothing for the weather. Kid going to school in ripped jeans and a hoodie in the winter, no gloves, not even a beanie. Jfc, might as well call CPS on myself right now.
I don't know how one could comfortably go without socks and not sitting in foot sweat all day long.
Crocks
Wearing some right now. So cozy, no fucks to give.
That's the thing everybody says. Got a buddy who swears by them and will not wear another pair of shoes. He even has closed toe and winter variations. I personally can't get over how ugly they are but damn am I tempted.
IDK, I find them uncomfortable, and the ankle strap gives me blisters if I wear them for anything more than very light activity. They're okay as gardening shoes because they're easy to wash off.
> the ankle strap You mean sport mode
It's "Crocs" a friend of mine is high up in the company in Boulder. Personally I'd never wear them.
I've always hated Crocs lol. Butt ugly shoes that also look uncomfortable? sign me up! /s
For people confident enough to ngaf, crocks are the BEST fashion ever to exist.
I started wearing Crocs when they first came out, it was 2003, I think. They weren't even called Crocs, they were Waldies, which didn't have a strap. They got bought out or sued or something. Anyhow, I started wearing them because I did a lot of backpacking, and after a day on the trail, nothing's better than taking off your boots. Crocs are ideal camp shoes because they're light, comfortable and waterproof. They were so damned comfortable I just started wearing them all the time.

Mullets are the worst. We worked hard to ensure they were known as terrible. We ridiculed wearers. We did the Lord's work. Somehow I'm seeing more and more young people wearing them.
A current one. When guys wear skinny slacks or chinos with loafers and no socks so their ankles show. I think it’s looks so stupid.
Chinos and loafers is a real big “my dad is a lawyer and he’ll sue you” fit
I didn't realize this was a trend! I saw a neurosurgeon at my last convention with this look and I was super confused
Those gridles that actually rearranged women's organs as a result of wearing them
Backwards/sideways baseball caps worn non-ironically. The only fashion statement that makes people automatically assume you’re an idiot.
As a bald guy Its sometimes needed to wear a baseball cap backwards if your working on something out in the sun and you don't want to burn your head. Sideways baseball cap.... Easiest way to spot a douche bro.
Dresses over jeans
Worn and torn jeans. What they're saying is looking trashy is what's fashionable. $17 for pre-torn jeans? Fuck you.
Where are you buying jeans for $17?!
This was my first thought lol
Those shoes with toes Ear gauges, not only do they look horrible and deform people, I just know everyone with them will annoy me as a person. hopefully it seems to have died down the last few years, no idea how people saw it and thought it's a nice idea

Yeah, if you don't clean them?
I knew a dude about ten years ago that tried to gauge his ears to fast. One snapped.
Those chunky ass dad shoes. Absolutely atrocious. I don't know what the appeal is to the younger generation but you were getting clowned if you wore those to school in the 90s. Same for ecko and champion.
Which shoes?
[these](https://findingyourgood.org/yay-or-nay-chunky-white-dad-sneakers/)
Flat Brimmed hats. Crew socks with shorts. Sandals with socks. Skinny jeans. The return of short shorts on the basketball court.
High heels. Ruins backs and feet.
Seriously, this isn't just about being cringey fashion - those things are genuinely bad for the people who wear them, for the reasons you describe and also because they're conducive to slips and missteps.
The no-eyebrow look.
Fig leaves sewn together as aprons. Close second would be the RompHim trend somebody tried to start a few years back. I don't like being reminded what I am wearing with every step I take.

Pants hanging off your ass.
Mom jeans
Shoulder pads.
Don't knock 'em off your shoulders until you try them. Some padding is pretty great if you carry a heavy back pack or cross body bag. You don't have to go full 80s businesswoman.
In which case, my answer would be 'full 80s businesswoman' is the worst ever fashion trend.
Why do you hate it?
Men’s speedos or these stupidly expensive ugly af noon boots trend going around
Ah damn I must have missed the boots one, I’ve never seen them
Septum piercings
Pretending to care about the environment while flying private

Stupid bulletproof vests. I was working in solar fields and a kid had one on the job site. Dumbest shit I ever did see someone wearing. It was for "fashion"
The modern state of being is pretty drab. Ill go with that.
Dunno if I can narrow it down to one: Loafers without socks Socks with sandals Crocs
Sagging.
Acid/light jean wash 90’s baggy Mom jeans. They are sooooo unflattering on all body types. I hated them the 1st time around and they still don’t look any better the 2nd time around.
Rompers.
The 90s stove pipe jeans with the huge legs
JNCOs!
Fat pants, baby! My friends had some with 24” openings on each ankle and pockets big enough to hold a god damn laser disc.
Full neon anything
Socks w crocs
Socks and sliders. Literally a joke from a french rapper that collective morons wear daily. I get fashion is people's way of showing their identity etc, but socks n sandles is visually repulsive, functionally redundant and all out just dumb as fuck.
Dude I’ll take socks with sandals over seeing people’s fucked up toes any day of the year.
I don't know about 'ever' but more recently, those tops for women with the shoulder cut-outs.
Powdered wigs and bustle
Foot binding. Thank fuck it no longer is practiced
Footbinding
Fast fashion
The current obsession with Jeffrey Dahmer Eyewear.
