Depending on which fashion magazine you subscribe to, skinny jeans are either on their way out or they are here to stay. That distinction could soon be a bit less ambiguous for students in one North Carolina school district currently debating a ban on the tight jeans.
The New Hanover County School System in Wilmington is discussing a new dress code that would ban, among other things, skinny jeans, leggings, and “other excessively tight-fitting pants,” BuzzFeed News reports.
The update to policy 8520 wouldn’t exactly outlaw the bottoms. Instead, students would only be permitted to wear them if they also had on a long top or dress that covers “the posterior area in its entirety.”
A spokesperson for the school system says that the policy is being considered as a way to decrease distractions from learning.
“The intent of it is basically just to make sure the focus in the classroom is on teaching and learning and nothing is being worn that can distract from that,” the spokesperson said.

So do those include "leggings" and yoga pants, which may as well be sprayed on? It's about time that males started wearing codpieces again so that gender equality can be maintained.
ReplyDeleteIf a camel toe is outlined, or a derriere made a principal feature, then it's distracting. If boys wore the same thing, there'd be Hell to pay.
ReplyDeleteHeck, I was distracted in high school when girls wore dresses every day. But there was some mystery then, something that women's fashion has eliminated.
