Even the underwear's becoming longer

[knikon]

Back to the initial topic I noticed a rather odd trend at the US Open (I went back sat and sun) Many of the kids were wearing boxers & boxerbreifs under boardies with just the waistband of the underwear showing whereas most tof the women were wearing just a string bikini and a ballcap.

While I have no issue with guys in boardies (many even look great in them) & I can see why many wear them I found this trend dumb in appearance and quite absurd. Not is it not practical but how is it comfortable or attractive to the ladies? Maybe Im missing the boat here but I didn't get it.

Not sure what this is all about - were the women topless or wearing both parts of their string bikinis ?
(I am assuming that an event at a prestigious venue would entail a dress code being checked out at the point of entry ?)

Yes, the kids want to display whatever logos, phrases or wacky words are printed on their underwear waistbands - a trendy way of declaring themselves to be streetwise and snappy - and was this not similarly pointed out in a recent post (can't find it now ) on the dropped baggy jeans style? (such is often to be seen on skateboarders I have found)

Kids like to show off their name brand undies more each year.

Let me clairfy. US Open of Surf not Golf lol. It is about how absurd I find fashion to be...

Now I feel stupid I thought you were talking about Tennis or Golf. I didn't even know there was a US Open of Surfing until today!!!
