DWFII,
I think you may have missed my point.
I wasn't arguing that white hose with formal wear was a good fashion at all
Neither was I arguing it was a bad fashion with formal wear.
I was simply stating that is was a valid fashion.
If people can accept that fashions they don't like are still valid fashions then everything is Jake.
Now when I was a young man I would go to store and purchased a nice pair of trousers I would wear them (in a very old fashion way) by pulling the waistband above my hip bones. I would secure them with belt and there they would stay.
Positively fossil-like I know many of you are thinking.
Now a modern fashion is to buy a pair of trousers and wear them midway up one's pelvis. This allows one to proudly display the top of one's under wear. Of course one must then walk carefully and be constantly hitching up one's pants, but this is a small price to pay for looking cool. It is a striking look and makes the bold statement "I do not run!" (because of course one couldn't without tripping).
I am not partial to this look.
In my eyes this particular look makes men look like a toddler with a full diaper.
But it is a fashion.
This I cannot deny.

The point I'm trying to make is that I absolutely HATE this look. But for me to deny it as a fashion would be silly.
I can say that I dislike the look, but I can't say the person sporting it is "wrong / not valid"
Cheers
Jamie
