| Description | NEW ORLEANS -- Black and blazing red-orange boxer shorts flashed from beneath the T-shirt and above the belt that seemed to weigh down the lanky 19-year-old's baggy jeans, which just topped his thighs.
"Some people just don't like their clothes tight," Corey Evans said last week, sitting at a bus stop near the French Quarter.
While it's been in fashion for years, the saggy pants look also has been an affront to many authority figures, including state Sen. Derrick Shepherd. After losing a vote on the issue in 2004, Shepherd is again trying to pass legislation to ban droopy trousers.
"All the different municipalities around the state saying they want it tells me that a state ban on this type of idiocy is needed," said Shepherd, D-New Orleans. |
