Anyone else tired of high waists?

[ConfusedParticle]

I liked them for a while years ago, probably because they were a welcome variation, but it seems now almost everything is high waisted, whether we like it or not.

It doesn't suit everyone, regardless of body type, so I wish there were more choices between low, mid and high available, especially with trousers.

I have a slightly short torso, so anything super high almost touches my breasts. It isn't flattering and makes me feel like a balloon, even if I am slim. Ive been searching for straight cargo style trousers for months but all of them have super high waists, even jeans aren't backing down a bit yet.
I can't get a sleek look at all, with so much fabric billowing around my gut like that. And since I don't like tight fitting clothes (except for my leggings) it always makes me feel bunched up and fussy.

I know it's all just trends and whatnot, but this one aint for me.

Tell me im not alone!

I hate high waisted. It feels really uncomfortable and almost like maternity trousers. I prefer a muffin top at least its comfy.

Yes! Yes! I hate high waists. They add bulk and make me look huge around the middle. Plus I can't work out what kind of top to wear with them - but even if I could, I wouldn't because I find them so uncomfortable.

I agree with you OP. It does not suit many people, just seems yet another fashion designed to get you to spend money.

I'm long body and short legs too so they feel more comfy for me. I do want more support at the front though to help with the mum tum

I feel like I get cystitis every time I wear high waisted jeans?! I don’t dislike the style, just the result!

I’m with you too. Can’t stand them and honestly think they look awful on anyone who isn’t a slither of a teen and even then it’s pushing it.

Isn't that the whole purpose of fashion?

This is what l thought about low rise

Me too.
I probably won't have a waist for much longer so high rise couldn't have come around at a better time for me.

Long legs and short body and I hate high waists. I'm slim but they just make me feel and look fat and frumpy.

I hate them, so uncomfortable and they add bulk to even the slimmest woman, don’t get me started on the view from the back, acres of arse, awful.

Sorry no sympathy here. Having tolerated around 20 years of jeans that barely covered my bum crack or pubes I bloody loving the fact high waists are back in fashion!

I have a long torso (from crotch to waist) and high rises actually sit on my natural waist and are so much more comfortable for me than low rise

So envious of all you long waisted people. Another high waist hater here - it’s so disconcerting sitting down and the waistband of your trousers touching your boobs. And I’m an 8-10, they make me look at least a 12-14.

Just to add I didn’t like super low rise either.

Love high waist. Long torso also here so they actually fit!

Nope. Love them. Sorry.

Appreciate that I'm biased, liking low rise jeans, but I honestly don't think high waisted trousers flatter many people, even lithe teenagers. They make most people look like they have a tummy (even when they don't), plus some people seem to end up with a slight camel toe and bottom cheeks hanging out the bottom when they're shorts.

Then again, I don't really understand shaving off your eyebrows and drawing them in higher, so I'm not sure my view counts for much as far as fashion is concerned.

I hate them too. I suffer from bloating and can't bear anything tight/rigid around my waist. I agree that they even make teenagers look frumpy and bigger than they are.

I will happily trade some tummy bulge (which I can camouflage ) for the discomfort of permanently feeling my jeans are falling down, and wondering if my arse is showing every time I lean forward (not to mention unwittingly copping an eyeful of other arses too).

I love high waisted trousers my shape means hipsters don't look great on me and I always end up with a builders bum and they always feel really tight and uncomfortable compared to high waisted clothes

This is me too. Remember the 90s & 00s and trousers feeling like they wanted to be pulled down as the crotch was so uncomfortable but there being no length to the waist to do this itms

For those seeking a range of rises, Esprit are very good.

Second this and they have a good range of leg lengths too

I love high waists they keep my tummy firmly tucked away and I don't worry about my arse showing when I sit down. I am bigger round the tummy so mid rise to fit my belly in without a muffin top would gape at the back.

I don’t like the look of them on me and don’t think they are particularly flattering on a lot of other people either. So far I have managed to avoid anything high waisted. Low or ultra low suits me.

I think they are much more flattering than low rise. They elongate the legs.

Low rise made me look stumpy. And I’m 5ft 8 with a 33” leg

I’m short waisted and honestly just can’t wear trousers at all really. Low rise, high rise..they all look shit on me
