Delcambre and Opelousas, Louisiana have already outlawed it; Atlanta, Georgia and Shreveport, Louisiana are discussing the perils of plunging pants. Obviously a decent society has to draw the line somewhere and underwear is that line. It’s called underwear for a reason, goes the logic and nobody should have to look at it in public. Whether your pants are slipping down on boxers, whale tail or muffin top doesn’t matter, you might be breaking the law in a growing number of American cities.
Trend Themes
1. Reinforced Clothing - Design clothing with built-in undergarments to comply with the growing number of American cities' exposed underwear ban.
2. Smart Belt Buckles - Invent a belt buckle that can detect when pants are sagging too low and alert the wearer to adjust before breaking the law in cities with exposed underwear bans.
3. Fashionable Waistlines - Develop new and trendy ways to accentuate the waistline without resorting to low-rise pants and violating exposed underwear bans in multiple American cities.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can capitalize on the exposed underwear ban trend by creating clothing accessories that comply with the new laws.
2. Technology - Technology companies can see disruptive innovation opportunities in creating smart belt buckles or other wearable devices that can help people comply with exposed underwear bans in various American cities.
3. Legal Services - Legal services can take advantage of the growing number of American cities implementing exposed underwear bans by providing consulting and representation services to individuals and businesses affected by these laws.
