A fad I do not like

A  fad  I really do not like is young-men wearing their jeans at ‘half-mast’. That is when they wear

 their jeans about 15cm below their waists.  I think this looks very bad. I know they think it is cool,

but it looks stupid to me. I do not want to see young men’s underwear. Underwear should be worn

under a person’s clothes and should not be seen by everyone. This fad not only looks bad, but is

also dangerous. Some men wear their jeans so far below their waist that it is hardfor them to walk

quickly, and impossible for them to run. Getting on a bus or a train could be difficult wearing such

trousers. Even worse, if there were an emergency, such as an earthquake, and they had to run away

fast, they would probably not be able to do so. I hope this fad goes away soon.
