saggy pants

Low-riding denim style

Saggy pants are trousers worn low on the hips, exposing underwear or the upper buttocks.

The style emerged from hip-hop culture in the 1990s and became associated with youth fashion and urban identity.

Critics have linked the look to prison culture or considered it indecent; several U.S. municipalities passed ordinances against it: He got a fine for wearing saggy pants on the bus.
