I think low-rise is alright as long as your tummy doesn't hang out, and same goes for your ass and underwear. But I don't like seeing some chick with blue jean camel toe either, and I don't like when my jeans rise past my belly button. I feel like Urkel.

High fashion also says that Urkel jeans are back in. :p So I'm not sure how seriously I'd take them.

Tell that to the old hag who gave me a stink look as I went down the escalator at the mall the other day. :rolleyes:

Maybe she wanted to hit it too...you know?

lol@sugarnspice,

Hon, high fashion brought the low-waisted jeans to our malls..i'm sure the urkel jeans are going to be the new arrivals for next season...and who knows maybe even take-over the low-rise madness..

LOL, I don't mess around with those whose body parts are sagging or ready to fall off. :)

I don't mind low waisted jeans if they're just low-waisted. I mind the jeans that have 3" between the crotch and the buttons. The only place it could possibly be a appropriate to wear those is out clubbing or something. Today there was a girl in my Macro class wearing a pink cropped sweater and uber low rise jeans - we could see from her hipbones about a foot up of skin. It's 40 out, put a damn shirt on.

The main difference being that most women, excluding those who are so insecure that they follow every whim of fashion simply because it's "in," realize that there is absolutely no one that looks good in high-waisted jeans. If runway models can't pull it off, how can the average American woman expect to?

High fashion does influence everyday fashion, but it doesn't dictate it. Every year there are plenty of "trends" that don't make it off the runway or out of the stores because average consumer thinks they're ugly. And I think that the legacy of Steve Urkel is still in enough effect that the average woman won't want to be seen wearing his pants for at least five or ten more years.

And to continue on S&S's trend, the couture trends that do make it down to the lowly regular people are toned down. For example, on the runways this year people were showing a return to the 60s mod look. My store sold some pieces with geometric patterns and lots of black/red but nothing you;'d see on Twiggy back in the day.

The other day I went to this coffee place in the mall to get a drink. I was standing there and the girl behind the counter turned around and bent over. HOLY CRAP! I think I witnessed the first female plumber's crack EVER!

I know that's the style/fashion, but seriously, some of these girl's pants look like they shrank in the dryer :rolleyes:

I wonder what her employer thinks of those pants?

Easy...
 

If you are fat, stubby, or even the slightest bit thick, they look horrible, but if you have a perfect, SLENDER body, they look great. It isn't fair, but true.

That said, if the person is overweight, or thick, or just has 5 pounds to lose, and THEY WANT to wear them, go ahead... It looks bad, but why not? Wear what you want..

SAme for guys by the way... Don't go buy super low jeans if you have a huge butt

Gross... I am no longer hungry for dinner...

Perfect example of who shouldn't wear low riders....
