My theory about the baggy style of today, sad as it may be: More and more young kids were simply (allowed to be) fat, and they had to "hide" it - with baggy pants, shirts down to their knees, and shorts below the knees (yikes!). After a while there were more fat than trim kids, and as kids go, they all want to look like each other (= like the fat majority) and everybody, fat or not, started wearing these awful, baggy clothes. And when the kids grew up they kept their style, so that is why men under middle age like to hide their bodies in these outfits, while the older ones stick with the better looking clothes (if they can find any in the stores, which are mainly catering to the young crowd). So, it is not a modesty issue, it is a nutrition issue!
