Is it reasonable to wear low waisted pants?

If Jacques Chirac's political retirement may have marked the definitive end of Gaullism, it above all put a violent end to the fashion for high-waisted pants worn at the navel. In fact, in the absence of a muse of choice, it has experienced a sharp decline in recent years, allowing men to spread the fashion for low-waisted trousers, worn below the hips and just above buttocks.

From the hip-hop lover wearing a dripping baggy, to the stunted emo fan sporting ultra-tight elastic jeans, to the sales executive in a shiny black suit, no one seems untouched by the trend. On the market, now, the vast majority of men's pants are indeed low-waisted, which is obviously not trivial. In fact, this trend has largely revolutionized the landscape and profoundly changed everyone's visual perspectives.

LUNAR VIEW

Est-ce bien raisonnable de porter un pantalon taille basse ?

Thus, it is now common to see emerging, here and there, in private, at work or even in the public sphere, panties of underwear or pieces of buttocks, not to say pieces of parting. Concretely, a man can no longer tie his shoelaces, pick up a coin or take care of a paper jam in the photocopier of the open space without imposing on others a lunar view. For the human species, broken for some time in the principle of intimacy, it is a turning point.

It is even a mad revolution. Because, beyond morals and the visual field, low-rise pants tend to profoundly change silhouettes and bodies. Thus, if the high sizes highlight the buttocks, the low sizes smooth them until they disappear. Modern man therefore appears flat and devoid of posterior. At the same time, it also seems to have a very long trunk and particularly short lower limbs. In the end, it's his center of gravity that shifts, irremediably pulled down. Like a symbol.

To put an end to this rapid degradation of the species, it is necessary to return urgently to a minimum of reason and to remember that well-cut trousers fall naturally on the hips and that they ensure, in all circumstances and in all positions, full coverage. In the absence of a rapid reaction, we will have to draw the obvious conclusion: we talk a lot about Nicolas Sarkozy's return to politics, but it is Jacques Chirac's that we need.
