Children of the 90s who wore big baggy pants never had to worry about this kind of style squabble.

The AP reports a Pennsylvania school district has eased up on its dress code, a set of rules that mandated kids couldn't wear skinny jeans.

Turned out, parents in the Catasauqua school district couldn't find jeans that wouldn't fall under the ban. 

Writes the AP, from the Morning Call of Allentown:

Board member Patricia Snyder tells The Morning Call the district was trying to prevent students from wearing suggestive clothing. But ultimately the district determined jeans could be skinny but still appropriate. 

The board also gave in to requests to back off a ban on hooded sweat shirts. Low-cut tops, leggings and ripped pants are still barred. 

The school district approved the revised dress code this week.

Do you think skinny jeans are too suggestive for school?
