Tights & Bum Cracks

As a young person, I'm exposed to many different fashion styles and trends, some tasteful and some down right wrong. Two particular styles I want to talk about are tights worn as pants and having your pants so low that bum crack is visible.

I'm not too sure why young women find the idea of wearing tights as pants appealing. Perhaps it's because they just want to fit in or because they’re a cheap clothing item. Personally, I think it's absolutely disgusting. Too often young women wear a 'hoodie' and ugg boots with them. (On a side note, ugg boots are not a public clothing either.) I'm not saying there's anything wrong with keeping warm, but personally I don't plan to go shopping in the mall to see 45,164,823 different camel toes. Thanks for that, ladies. I believe the wearing of tights needs an appropriate context. That is, in the privacy of your own home or whilst participating in some sort of drama related activity. In the mall or in any public space? NO THANK YOU. The only people I could think of who enjoy young women wearing tights in public are creepy old perverted men. So maybe think twice about wearing them next time ladies. Oh, and all of this applies to 'jeggings' too, they're just as bad. 

Now onto the topic of bum cracks. Too many times I've seen an inappropriate amount of bum-crack hanging out behind someone. Why can't you people pull your pants up? I don't think anyone finds it appealing when they see it, although it does often make for a good laugh with your friends when you see it on certain people. Do these people even own belts? There should be a law against how much bum crack you can show in public! Anyone showing over 2cm of bum crack should be fined or socially sanctioned in some negative way... arrested even.

However, let’s say you are one of the accused ‘public-tight-wearers’. The next time you think about going out to flaunt your tights, think again. How about you just cover up a bit more? Wear a dress or long t-shirt over the top of your tights or whatever it is you girls find fashionable. Now that’s a fair compromise. As for you who parade your bum crack around, underwear in place of that is a good settlement. You can still be trendy and have your pants low, but just wear your boxers a bit higher!
