Do you support sagging pants, but need a bit more, uhm, support? Well, if an old fashioned belt just won’t do, traditional suspenders don’t go with the style you’re going for and you can’t be bothered with buying pants that fit, there’s a new entrant in the suspender-esque accessory category designed to let you sag your pants without any embarrassing slip-ups.

Harlem entrepreneur Andrew Lewis has come up with Subs, a contraption that looks like the love child of a thin garter belt and dwarf suspenders. {Styleite}

Lewis, who also appears to be behind other strappy inventions like the Coat Tote (a shoulder strap with clips and loops to hold coats and umbrellas on the go) and Safe-Grip (a harness for motorcycle riders who want to give passengers something to grip on to while riding), is selling the device for $29.95 on his website.

While you’d be forgiven for wondering why someone who can’t keep their pants up wouldn’t just buy smaller pants, parents who’ve tried and failed with that approach see the value in the latest take on suspenders.

The New York Daily News spoke with Joanna Suddreth, a mother of two teenage boys, who said “I know what to get [them] for Christmas.”

Throw in a pair of shirt stays for the odd times the sagging pants wearer in your life decides to tuck things in and it looks like there’s finally a suspender for every occasion.

The public message from the fashion police is part of a growing push against the butt-baring fad. A student let campaign in Virginia and outright bans in Flint, Michigan and Riviera Beach, Florida {CNN} have sought to crack down on below the waist pants. Even President Obama remarked recently: “Some people might not want to see your underwear. I’m one of them.” {Newser}

Russell Simmons, founder of urban fashion brand Phat Farm, and Sean John vice-president Jeffrey Tweedy have both weighed in against the campaign. While Simmons has no problem with Adams personally, he comments that the campaign is a waste of time designed to do nothing but stifle creativity and individuality. “There is no connection to saggy pants and the ability to succeed. Just look at what buttoned-up America has done to the rest of the world and each other. Why canâ€t kids be different?”

Tweedy is opposed to the focus on African-American men and purported link to prison culture. “Many different people are involved with this trend. Itâ€s not just black kids. You can go to Washington Square Park and see skaters wearing tight Leviâ€s in a similar way.”

The way we dress is a mark of our presentation and it is a sore sight to stare at the rear of someones behind in nothing but underpants. News stations like CBS, NBC, ABC and the WB have all covered the growing political controversy, as some feel the fashion trend is a means of expression for our youth. When interviewed, many kids stated that they feel targeted and stereotyped for wearing their pants low, and it has no merit. While we agree that sagging pants may be an eyesore, if Ed Hardy and Crocs can escape campaigns against what many argue is unattractive style, is it fair that sagging pants get attacked?

Tell us what you think? Ban the sag? Or freedom of expression?
