You know we have had low rise jeans for about 10 years now?

[colditz]

Is anyone else trying on high waisted ones and thinking "My good Lord, Look at the size of my backside!"

No?

Just me then.

well I wouldn't get high waisted ones on because they would be too big on my hips to get them done around my waist, I really on hipsters!

But how wonderful to say 'bye!' to muffin tops, non ?

Then again, there's the fat tummy underneath the waistband now...

No muffin top though eh? And no thong on show .

I've never been comfy in low-rise and my bum looks big whatever I wear.

The Goodbye Muffin Top thing is good, but the return of the high waisters has really brought it home how much my shape has changed - my size too, but especially my shape.

Yes, they do keep you tucked in more

Good God, yes.

I avoid like the plague.

They look unlfattering on all but the tall and skinny folk, IMO

I am apple shaped, you see. Low rise allowed me to fool myself about how much arse was actually there.

low rise, boot cut jeans are the greatest items ever to hit the shops.

About time too, imo. The only people that ever suited low rise jeans were a few lithe hipped teenagers. For the rest of the population it was like looking at a sausage squashed into a thimble

oh no, im short and curvy, highwaisted jeans make me look like bell!

Soapbox how lyrical.

I'm apple shape too, so I've though I'm thin high waisted is a big no no, I am just pretending they are not in fashion.

Actually I hated high waists even as a teenager, and low rise was a revelation. I have no waist, ando anything that hugs the place where my waist should be feels horribly unflattering. May low rise live forever!

I've got some, a skinny leg pair and a wide leg pair. Dp said of the wide leg pair "Please don't wear the Simon cowell trousers again, they fdo nothing for you!"

Everyone else has commented on how well they fit and how trendy they are.

Can't work out who's telling fibs .

oh god does that mean low rise are going to be hard to get?! I hate high waisted - my hips are big, but my waist isnt too bad, so I end up with loads spare on high waisted.

This isnt going to be like that awful time in the late 90s when you couldnt find bootcut anywhere is it?

I can't wear low-rise they cut right across my stretchmark (which I am considering having a hernia op on - as bits get caught inside it)

I have struggled buying high waisted trousers which weren't too old lady

being a shortarse petite, high waisted comes up to my armpits!

I am stuck in 1997 too. I was 17. I had a waist and could see the tips on my nipples without a mirror held down by my belly button. I am also short, fat, and apple shaped.

High waisted jeans are very comfortable, certainly, but so are fleece jumpers and i don't wear those outside either!
