I had to start a brand new category for this post, “Fashion”. I guess I’ve never written a fashion piece before. Go figure.
Well, it seems like hemlines are rising this summer. From the Wall Street Journal.
Changing hemlines have long been a hallmark of women’s fashion. But this summer, it’s men’s hems that are rising. Brooks Brothers has raised pant hems about half an inch in its top-of-the-line Golden Fleece suits and is leaning toward a slightly shorter pant length across its more moderately priced collection.
J. Crew has been featuring models in rolled-up, ankle-baring chinos. Traditional haberdasher Paul Stuart is producing suit trousers that touch the top of the shoe, rather than breaking slightly over the shoe.
That’s right folks, high water pants are in.
Thom Browne is widely credited with kick-starting the flood pants look, which he has produced for both his Brooks Brothers line and his signature collection.

Pretty snazzy, eh?
I know a lot of cats around these Ozark hills that will suddenly be in style.

No joke Axe, it’s for real. Hell, if the mullet did come back, along with these high water pants, Stone County would be the new Paree over night.

Damnit, I threw away some of my old, overwashed trousers just as they were coming back into fashion.
As hemlines go up over there, waistlines have been falling over here at an alarming rate. The craze of showing some underwear band has escalated in some quarters to complete b*****k exposure.
It’s
Quite
Disturbing
And
Unsavoury
