Lowrider

The first lowriders were rounded models from the 1930s and 40s.

Cecily was dressed as a pile of laundry—wide-legged lowrider pants that she wore down on her hips, layers of shirts, her face dusted with what looked like particles of silver.

Another young woman walked past us, wearing tight lowrider trousers and a cropped T-shirt that stopped several inches shy of the trousers.

Behind them stood a woman in a pants suit with a poodle on a leash and a couple of teenage girls in lowrider jeans with iPods and earphones that were currently slung around their necks so they could murmur together—earnestly, no giggles.
