You would think the skinny pant as the obvious opposite of the baggy pant.

• Tight crotch vs. loose crotch
• High butt vs. low butt
• Long, thin silhouette vs. short stubby silhouette
• Undersized vs. oversized

Like most fashion trends, i would have otherwise left this alone except for the fact that I live in the mission. On any given day, droves of baggy-panted hip-hoppers pass my apartment window on their way to the bus stop from school, while droves of skinny-panted hipsters saunter the other way. So I subconsciously compare and contrast them on a regular basis.

And this morning my subconscious finished doing it’s mental math and sent me a memo:

I can’t see anyone’s butt

So there you have it: skinny and baggy are collaborators in the global conspiracy of obscuring, flattening, camouflaging and in general opressing folks’ butts. It’s the new Victorian fashion ethic.
