Is there a cool way to pull up your pants? Mine are usually riding too low for the comfort of the wearer or onlookers.  I have been trying to convince my wife that it is how all the kids are wearing their pants - she just reminds me I'm not a hip urban youth (in fact I can't claim any single descriptor let alone the combination of all three).  

But back to my problem. I possess a middle-aged gut that means I have to choose between 'the under sling' where I position my belt below the gut and cinch it tight making me look like one of those kids books where you mix-and-match the head, body and legs. The other choice is to do 'the over stuff' where I cram my girth into my waistline and my belt buckle is in danger of chafing my nipples!! The truth is that either solution is the gut equivilent of the 'comb-over.'

Always the moderate I try to keep my belt in the middle - but then I am forever having to hike my pants up. I am committed to avoiding the above mentioned solutions for as long as possible so please help me!! If you have a link to you-tube or a reference in a self help book please pass it along. I have looked through back issues of GQ and this is a thoroughly neglected topic.

I have watched as others clutch, twist and pull their pants up in a variety of techniques - each one less cool than the last. I have to admit I am looking at my wife's collection of maternity pants with envy that borders on covetousness. I'm pretty sure this breaks a number of the Vatican's definitions of sin - new and old.

Ehkosit,
