Some CSUSB fashions need to die

By ANGELINA GARIBAY Staff Writer

The red carpet in Hollywood is not the only place sporting fashion blunders for all the world to see. Right here at CSUSB you can view some spectacular oversights in fashion. There are the “Bump-It” hairdos, shredded jeans, Ugg boots with shorts, beanies in the summertime, sagging jeans, and more to draw the ire of the fashion police. I conducted a mini-poll among students with just one question: “Are there any fashions that you think should die on campus?” The one that comes at the top of the list of what not to wear, among these students, is a pair of pants slung so low that you see underwear. It’s amazing to me that someone would actually posi- tion their pants to showcase their underwear. What really Richard Bowie | Chronicle Photo is the point of that? Does it keep your temperature cooler Some men on campus either are too lazy to pull their pants up or strangely enough fi nd it fashionable to have most of their underwear showing around campus. or does it just make you cool?
