PLEASE BE AWARE - JEANS - HEADS UP

[ Edited ]

I love the higher rise jeans as I am short from waist to shoulder and longer below waist with long legs.

 

I was thrilled when  high rise jeans, let's say from 9 inches and up came into favor.

I recently fell in love with "Mila" from AG.  I bought quite a few pairs. And now after vacation I will buy more and that will be it for me.

 

Last week I got an advertisement on a "low rise" jean.  Huh?  So Soon?  I was shocked and started doing my research.  There are article's about it in many papers, magazines, etc if you google.

 

I guess these  so called influencer's, model's, celeb's are sporting them.

 

I did know that low rise jeans were eventually going to make a comback and here we are.

 

I just wanted to give those who prefer the higher rise to stock up now.  I am.

 

I can't stand low riders.  I could wear them but they fit so odd and give a very baggy, saggy butt appearance and they keep falling down.  It's like the pockets are hanging way down in the back.  OMG.Woman Embarassed

 

PS.  This is mainly for jean companies outside the Q.  I doubt the vendors here will change that much.  Maybe some of the younger youth oriented companies but not all.

IMO, the low rise jeans with the bejeweled back pockets that were half way down the thigh made everyone's backside look bad.

 

I actually liked low rider running pants the first time around ... but that was 20 years ago. I never liked the low ride jeans on me because it always felt like my tush was flapping in the breeze when I sat down.

 

I feel the perfect jean/pant for me hits about 1-2 inches below my belly button.

I, too, prefer high waisted jeans and pants.

 

I need the long length from the waistband to the cr*tch.  

 

Also, my tummy skin, (for whatever reason), has become very sensitive.  

 

Anything rubbing across the tummy results in slight 'hives'.  Not teeny tiny hives, and not large hives.  I guess slightly smaller than a dime, and more on the surface.  

They disappear when the fabric is removed away from my skin. 

 

Anyway, I also love the look and style of high-waisted jeans and pants.

 

Old Navy and Levi's (among other brands/companies) offer high-waisted options/catagories.  

'More or less', 'Right or wrong', 'In general', and 'Just thinking out loud ' (as usual).

I don't think that version of low riders look too low. I guess in my mind I was envisioning tight hip huggers where you saw the pelvic bone. Now as for the top...that person looks fabulous ... but I could not imagine wearing anything that short.

@Pink123    Thank  you for  the alert.  I like the high rise jeans and trousers the best so I will continue  to  stock up on them while they are still available.  Can't believe they are shifting so quickly  away from high rise.

 

also prefer boot cut.   I  am very thin  and "skinny or jeggings" don't do  anything to enhance my silhouette.

 

I like my wait band at my  naural waistiiline and my rise is about 15 inches.

 

Best,

I like mid-rise, just below my belly button.

Low and high don't work on my frame.

I've also heard low rise jeans and pants will be making a comeback. Not a fan or wearer of that style. I prefer a mid rise, but I do own a few higher rise jeans and trousers.

I'm not a tucker so it would be hard to tell what rise my jeans are.  Smiley Happy  I do not like low rise.  I'm not a fan of rectangle butts.

I think the D&C ladies aren't into that sort of thing.
