New York, Apr 14 (ANI): Wearing your pants low enough to show your boxers could result in a fine for residents Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana.
Opposed opinions on underpants etiquette are butting up against each other in the ongoing saga of sagging.
The Louisiana town wants to prohibit people from sagging, or wearing pants below the waist and exposing their underwear, the New York Daily News reported.
The ban would set a high price on low pants, slapping violators with a series of fines. 50 dollars for the first offense, 100 dollars for the second and 100 dollars and 16 hours of public service for each subsequent offence.
The Terrebonne Parish Town Council voted 8 -1 to pass the ordinance, which the parish’s president is expected to sign into law, according to WWL-TV.
Some think sagging is cool, others think it is foolish. Either way, the fashion statement has incited the ire of several Louisiana lawmakers.
“Appearing in public view while exposing one’s skin or undergarments below the waist is contrary to safety, health, peace and good order of the parish and the general welfare,” the ordinance reads. (ANI)
