If high-waisted trousers are the new in-thing why are the shops still full of low-risers?

they are high waisted if you have a really small bum.

brimfull · 20/02/2007 21:44

saw some in top shop

ooh no, hate high waisters, too 80's for me. Does this mean the return of shoulder pads? I won't do it, I won't.

MrsBadger · 20/02/2007 21:45

because they're unflattering to all except the young, tall and extremely svelte.

Try Topshop

fishie · 20/02/2007 21:47

they are only for tiny teenagers at the moment, soon they will come in matornly sizes and we will all indulge.

MrsBadger · 20/02/2007 21:47

or ASOS

I tried a pair on in h&m v flattering surprisingly as they skim over wverything and look really slimming.Didn't buy them though as I wore them last time round.

Kbear · 20/02/2007 21:49

Didn't Bananarama wear those with the braces?

Don't make me wear 80's clothes again... and what is that with leggings? Only if you're under 21 please...

fishie · 20/02/2007 21:49

mrs b you know i'm right. remember how we all resisted hipsters.......

i am so short waisted that hipsters are on my waist anyway. this is not going to be a flattering fashion for moi.

MrsBadger · 20/02/2007 21:53

well, I guess if we can wear highwaisters with the same long tops we bought to cover our midriffs while wearing hipsters, no-one will be able to tell they're highwaisters...

pipo · 20/02/2007 21:54

Hipsters are no good for me as I have no hips - they either fall off or are like a corset.

There was an article in this weeks Grazia - they showed high waisted jeans from Top Shop (saw them yesterday) French connection, New Look, Boden and Oasis. Was on page 97. Apparently we should all be thinking Charlies Angels.
