Play Clothes

 "Go change your clothes." was often the second phrase heard from parents when a child returned home from school.
(How was school?" or "What did you do in school?", being the first. But this was back when parents were not afraid to be parents and back when most parents weren't concerned with being their child's best friend.)
We used to have clothes which were worn only on Sundays or to Weddings and clothes we wore to school and then a bunch of old, often torn or too small clothes, in which to play.
These days I have adults coming in looking for a job wearing clothes which resemble what our mothers expected us to change into after school.

Why do kids wear sagging pants in public?
Because most were not taught that certain clothes should only be worn at certain times.
Most kids were never taught that play clothes are for play and clothes for going out in public should be presentable to the public.
In our age of Political Correctness and diversity - many have abandoned tradition in favor of making sure that everyone feels as though he is of equal value even if he is not.
