International fashion trends have pushed baggy, saggy pants to the verge of obscurity. In their place, super-tight fits sit atop the throne of all things 'in'.
Jay-Z, Pharrell and Kanye West have all been seen sporting super-slim jeans. So, if you're considering imitating your favourite hip-hop star, put down the oversized overalls and look for something else.
In fact, super-low pants have actually been outlawed in parts of the US. Wearing your pants at 'half-mast', as it's called, can earn you a fine of $500 (Rs 20,000).
This season, hit the gym and stick to slim. Remember, put your best foot forward. You don't want to look sloppy and unkempt. That's just so uncool!
