Other US communities have banned low-slung clothing in recent years
No butts about it - an Alabama councillor has been seeking divine guidance for a plan to ban saggy jeans, trousers and shorts.
Dadeville's legal team is currently drafting the wording of the public dress code before it goes to a vote.
City Council member Frank Goodman told a council meeting "I prayed about this" reports the Alex City Outlook.
"I know that God would not go around with pants down."

The ordinance is currently being rewritten to include a ban on short skirts, so that it won't just be men who fall foul of the fashion police.
"My concern is it should be for everybody," council member Stephanie Kelley told the meeting, reports the Outlook.
"I think for the girls, with these shorts up so high looking like under garments and dresses so short, I don't want us to be showing favouritism."
Opa-Locka, Florida, and Wildwood, New Jersey, are among other communities that have banned low-slung clothing in recent years.
