When my nephew was a kid, he would wear his pants up high like that. Many people told him not to wear his pants like that, but he ignored us all. I don’t know what eventually made him stop.
That’s the “Texas Cop” position. The shirts on TX cops have to have industrial strength buttons in the bottom three spots to hold up that belly… or so it appeared to me, many years ago, the last time I dealt w/ a TX cop.

Don’t critique my physique.

If you go for the “below” trend, it would maybe be wise to invest in some suspenders if you don’t to risk the full sagging look!

Just make sure your shirt is long enough to prevent seeing a bare belly hang out.

Or get really loose pants and wear suspenders.

Opal, fire up the sewing machine. Or put the old guy on a vegan diet till he begins to cry.

My grandfather wore his pants in the “high” position. My dad? He wore them loose and held in place by suspenders mid-gut.
