I’ve a very short waist. High leg jeans do you under my tits

I’d like some straight leg jeans. Not high waist.

Am I asking the impossible?

@CatherineTheNotSoGreat

I'm possibly not the same as you shape-wise but I hate something cutting me in the middle. Have you tried Topshop raw hem straight jeans? They're really good. About belly button raise on me. If you want to get technical I'll measure the rise of the jean later.

On offer atm. The washed black is great. And the ecru. And they do a lighter blue (?bleach blue) that I don't see on that link. Love that too.

Love the style tried them on loads but didn’t work I think it was because the 32w too big 30w too small but I could be wrong it was a while ago

I’m absurdly long-waisted but I HATE high waist jeans too. Having something high up on my natural waist just means there is SO MUCH MORE of my waist bundled into the jeans and it gives me a weird and very long bulge from belly button all the way down to the top of my hips. I end up looking like an unevenly-stuffed sausage (and I’m slim so I don’t even have very much excess flesh on my waist/hips, it’s just a huge spatial area of it thanks to the length of my body).

I will check out some of the suggestions here. Thanks OP!

Ginfordinner · 18/06/2020 17:25

I'm tall, and high rise stop just below my naval.

TomNook · 18/06/2020 19:12

Lol navel. Unless you’re pretty friendly with a short sailor ;)

AsCoolAsLangCleg · 18/06/2020 19:19

I have long legs and a short waist (and big boobs) and high rise just cut me off at my widest. So unflattering. I actually don't think they look good on anyone

AsCoolAsLangCleg · 18/06/2020 19:20

Can only wear skirts if a go up a size so they sit on my hips. And only mini or midi length.

Stressing · 18/06/2020 19:22

Thank god for this thread. I hate high waist anything. Where can u buy low waisted clothes nowadays?

PhoneLock · 18/06/2020 20:30

Can only wear skirts if a go up a size so they sit on my hips. And only mini or midi length.

I go up a size or two to get the waistband right and then alter them to fit elsewhere. Either that or just make them from scratch.

AsCoolAsLangCleg · 18/06/2020 20:54

I just hate having anything around my waist

TomNook · 22/06/2020 14:34

Update. I’ve got various sizes and lengths of the Topshop ones mentioned below and they just look awful I look like I’ve tried on my dad’s jeans never mind my boyfriend. I have quite slim ankles and so the bit at the bottom makes my feet look like chickens feet

TomNook · 22/06/2020 14:35

I’ve sold my hush Lenny straight leg ones on eBay because they make me look like Robinson Crusoe

I don’t I don’t know if anyone still reading this but next relaxed skinnies are good. But size down

Iwantacookie · 25/06/2020 18:28

I'm glad I found this thread every single pair of jeans I've come across seems to be high waisted. I'll be trying out some of these. Thanks.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 25/06/2020 19:40

Glad you liked the relaxed skinnies, I love mine. And the legs fold up nicely to just above the ankle in this good weather.

TomNook · 25/06/2020 22:43

I’ve had to get long. Did you size down too?

OP posts:
MotherForkinShirtBalls · 25/06/2020 23:13

God no, I'm absolutely size 8 Hmm Wink I wish I was even a small 10

FedUpAtHomeTroels · 25/06/2020 23:41

Sun dresses is the way to go they stay in place, skirts ride up until they stop under my boobs and high waist jeans swamp me I'm short waisted too.
Mid rise cover everything, I just got a new pair from landsend.co.uk

Julyisnotamonth · 26/06/2020 06:31

I'm wondering, do you all have flat stomaches or if overweight have fairly tight/toned skin?

Alas i have short legs (wear 30L) but my stomach is a wobbly mess with overhang pooch and need a high waist, as it holds the wobble in....
