First, an explanation. As we get older, our bodies change. You remember puberty, right? Well, it's just like that, except opposite.
Instead of adding tissue, muscle and body matter...as we age, our bodies start subtracting that stuff. What puberty gaveth, Old age taketh away.
The obvious result is that your waist winds up closer to your chest, than down where your hips used to be.
But all is not lost. No way. Nature, in its infinite wisdom makes up for the loss of muscle, and bone mass in our hips and things, and adds up to 30% of body fat in our stomachs at the exact spot we used to pull our pants up to.
Now that's a problem. Most men solve it by pulling their pants up past what some call the Santa Claus bowl, since there's no longer enough hip bone left to hang them on.
Problem solved, right?
Nope.
Nature is not through with us yet. Just about the time we think the "belt just below the chest" solution has solved our fashion problem, it becomes apparent that while we weren't looking, we got about 3 inches shorter!
So now, the pants legs are dragging at the bottom!
Oh, the humanity!
So, what's the solution!? I think there are two:
We could adopt the fashion of the rappers and gangstas....and wear our pants like they do......
or we could take a page from the popular "Duck
Dynasty" TV show and dress in Camo!
(As you can see, this is a one piece suit!)
That's the route I'm going with: THE CAMO SOLUTION
But as you know, like any other fashion, the Camo is constantly being upgraded and improved. The latest in Camo Chic is an even more intense emphasis in obscuration.
I've ordered a whole new outfit in the latest line of CAMO outfits for "Men of Distinction" like myself.
