How can I market my new fashion idea for teens? See inside for details.?

Question

I call my design "Pants That Fit," or PTF. The idea is that the pants will have a waist and butt size appropriate to actually fit on the teenager such that the waist is at waist level and the seat can breath a little and yet not be baggy. In my vision the kids will wear PTF that do not droop to their mid-thighs and will not have enough space in the seat to allow for the smuggling of small marmots.

I know this is a pretty retro concept, but I think I can make it happen if I get some good input from my community.

The next phase of my fashion empire may well include things like fashions that do not make teenage girls look like tramps, and then may even expand into the lack of hardware sticking out of their faces. With luck I may even get them to wear hats with the bill facing forward.

Help me out here, friends.

Answer 1

Since all of the inhabitants of Gualchimigooneygoo-goo are buck naked, I think this sounds like a wonder-ful idea.

<---- too woeful to be funny today  :(

Answer 2

Dude!

A rare moment of seriousness here from a guy who is...

  ...although, a primo superstud in every way...

  ...knows from long ago experience with bell bottom jeans, that "pants that don't fit" is so "entrenched" into the teenage mentality, that you could never hope to get them to wear "pants that fit...

    One of the major ironies of our existence as "fashion conscious animals," is that later on in life, as an adult, we struggle mightily to find "pants that fit," because when your waist and length of pants are "Prime Numbers," the pants companies only produce "two" of that size every year, and you're forced to either have the blood cut off to the parts of your body that are below the waist, or suffer the embarassment of wearing saggy baggy jeans or slacks, which make you suddenly look like Don Knotts with a belt problem...

I'm just gonna let the rest of this answer hang right there...

(A moment of silence for Don Knotts...but only if he's dead...I can't remember...I think he's dead now...my apologies to Andy Griffith if he's not dead...or is alive...either way..)

Answer 3

But teenage tramps are the only things that get me through the day.

Answer 4

Oh man, I'm 17 and I'm with you..

Everyday I see both sides of the spectrum. Both extremes.

I'm also thinking you should have another line for Shirts That Fit.

Some wear shirts down to their knees. (This is usually along with the ones that wear their pants down to their knees) And some wear shirts that barely reach their belly buttons with their pants cutting off their circulation an inch below their belly buttons. I CANNOT understand how people can think that they actually look good like this! It is ridiculous and nearly unbelievable. I can't wait to submit these people to 'What Not To Wear'

I think it can happen. Just get Abercrombie & Fitch, BabyPhat, and Urban Outfitters to hold your line and the problem is nearly solved! Oh, I'm so excited! There may still be hope!

To tell you the truth, most kids who shop at Abercrombie and Fitch (most) actually wear pants that fit.. This goes for most Urban Outfitter shoppers as well.. Though there are still some who think they're major hipsters that should be slapped also.

Oh how I wish people would actually do this!

Answer 5

I'm a former mother (well, still mother but the kid has grown up) of a son that wore jeans that were so baggy and hung so low that he actually waddled like a penguin.

What's your next plot? Banning the use of neon hair coloring and  gels?

I applaud you.

Answer 6

But...but...but

My plumbers crack helps me land dates!  How am I supposed to get a decent date if I don't give em a taste of the goods?  

Are you a Republican?  You sure are acting like it.

Answer 7

At the dealership that I work at, I have actually told kids like that "You can't even afford a belt or clothes that fit, how do you expect to pay for a car?"

Answer 8

Your conservative is showing.

Answer 9

I'll do whatever I can to help out my brother.  The other day I saw a boy running through the rain from a gas pump to the store and he had his pants held up to his nipples with one hand so he could run.  What the h**l am I missing about the lure of your pants not fitting?  Obviously they have never had a job outdoors where you get hot and sweaty (I seriously wonder how many of them know anything about a job of any kind) and realize what those pants will do when they get damp.  They sure as h**l won't stay up then and they'll weigh twice as much!  What a bunch of idiots!

Answer 10

It's just avant-garde enough to work.
