I didn't know that low rise jeans had gone anywhere because I have been buying them for years now. Who knew? LOL

'Used to be' that we would strive to minimize our tummies and bee-hinds.  

I remember those days..........

And, we all (mom, older sisters, etc.) were always trying to exactly 'match-up' sweater with skirt colors.

Boy, was that an ordeal.............

Well, gasoline was cheap, and we seemed to always be driving here and there and everywhere, trying to find an exact match.

Oh, yes, and sewing skirts when we couldn't find the right color already made.

I do not wear jeans but when it comes to pants in general, I wear mid rise.  I hate pants sitting on my waist. Though I am short, I have a long torso.

While on vacation in Italy, I splurged and had custom made slacks. The tailor said the most flattering pants fall about 2" below your natural waist. Trouser style pants sit at the waist and unless your are thin, are not as flattering. (his words, not mine)

I prefer low-rise so I’m glad to see them return.  I’m built straight up and down, not much of a waist.  If I get pants that fit my waist, they’re huge in the hips.  I pretty much avoid pants altogether because of my body shape.  Low-rise was the only thing that seemed to work for me.

I don’t like the way low rise jeans ride downward at the top when sitting. Uncomfortable, and shows too much skin, lol.

@handygal2 that’s why tunic tops are your friend.

I had an e-mail from AG this morning, some sale is going on Friends n Family maybe.  I deleted it because I don't want to be tempted to buy anything.

I like a mid-rise, but these might be too low rise for me.  Of course on the model they look fantastic cause she is so slim n trim.  I'd prefer them an inch or so higher in the waist.  I kinda like the cigarette leg tho.  I have so many cropped jeans.

I didn't realize they had gone anywhere either.  I like a mid- or low-rise in jeans (and I'm 61 so it's go nothing to do with age).  In dress pants I prefer a higher rise, but still just at or below the belly button, a little higher in back than in front.  Your actual waist is an inch or so above the belly button, and I won't be wearing those.

Someone mentioned something about minimizing butts. There's a difference between wide hips and an ample booty.  My hips aren't wide, my entire body is equally wide (not fun when trying to buy a bra).  I have an ample booty and I consider it one of my best assets.

@dex : Sometimes, inadvertently my tops aren’t long enough to cover the “gap.” Lol.
