To fit in. To comply with the prevailing style. In times to come will people look at old pictures and say I wonder why the youths all seem to wear their trousers on their hips an not theirs wastes. Didn't they have belts? Did they have a penchant for flagellation? In short style, fashion. The story goes that when Thomas Jefferson visited the "court" in Paris he entered without a wig and was admired for doing so. It's a fun story and an interesting insight into the battle between compliance and trendsetting.
