A US mayor plans to pass a law banning the wearing of saggy trousers in his Louisiana town.
Carol Broussard, mayor of Delcambre, said that he will sign the proposal unanimously passed by town councillors earlier this week.
Wearing trousers that reveal your underwear will lead to a $500 penalty and the risk of six months in jail.
"If you expose your private parts, you'll get a fine," said Mr Broussard.
He told the Associated Press that people wearing low-slung trousers are "better off taking the pants off and wearing a dress."
Ted Ayo, town attorney, said that the new legislation would expand on existing indecent exposure laws in Louisiana:
"This is a new ordinance that deals specifically with sagging pants. It's about showing off your underwear in public".
Mr Broussard has received local criticism for the ordinance, with some Delcambre residents claiming that the proposal is racially motivated, due to the popularity of "sagging pants" among black hip-hop fans.
However, he responded: "White people wear sagging pants, too."
