I feel like we've only had higher waisted/trousers that you can get your whole arse in for five minutes. I will not be buying draughty low rise crap. And short tops you can't sit on a bar stool in without doing a builder's bum.

Gah. I think I'll be shopping in the men's department for the foreseeable.

Yes!!! At last. Love low wasted jeans and it's been a struggle to get nice good quality ones for years now. I'd but 2 pairs at once when I could find this rare specimen.
I'm still wearing a few pairs from back in the day but want a proper good quality re-stock.
I do have loads of jeans though and they usually last a very long time if they are good quality.
High waste jeans and trousers are an anomaly to my eyes and I can't wear them and they look weird on my.
Mid rise just about works for me but I don't love them.
Low rise all the way here.

There should be 5 or so styles available in the shops all the times. Everyone has different preferences and each body shape suits different styles. A good quality well fitting pair of jeans that suits the body shape is a comfortable wardrobe staple and should be readily available.

I'm with you 100%. I went to Selfridges jeans department a couple of years ago (it's massive) and the sales assistant told me they didn't have a single pair of low-waisted jeans.

Eventually struck gold in Seven for all Mankind and Tommy Hilfiger. And a couple of old True Religion pairs, But I'll be delighted to have a decent choice again.
