What ive noticed is people will say that whatever is in fashion at the moment 'is best for curves'.
I tend to think healthy curves, as yours surely are, look much nicer in more form fitting yet comfy clothes, so the softer skinny jeans and leggins make curves look lovely - unlike my own willowy bod, I always look like scrawny in them.
But since skinnies are out, and wide legs are in, most people will say they look best with curves. But I disagree! I think they make lofty models look square, even. Wide legs that flow, yeh, but stiff denim looks far too boxy to me regardless whether it is having a fashion moment.
I have really got interested in Kibbe body types, you can look them up on reddit if interested. I discovered why I always look drowned and untidy in the clothes I tend to love (this sucks), but you have to strike a balance, as life is short and who cares? 
I am also another who doesn't like high waists, and like anything else, even they will be 'dated' soon.
And remember, 'dated' is a component of capitalism to urge you to buy more and change everything in your wardrobe to suit a new silhouette. Have fin with clothes, but if you really do suit more fitted stuff, I would go with that and just try to make it more current.
