The city of Lynwood, Ill.—a suburb of Chicago—has a message for its citizens: Pull your pants up.

Lynwood recently declared anyone who shows more than three inches of underwear in public is in violation of the law and subject to a $25 fine. Mayor Eugene Williams says it’s an issue of economics: Folks walking around with saggy pants keep prospective businesses away.

No word as to whether saggy-pants wearers still will be subject to the fine if they go commando.
