    I think the high waisted stuff became fashionable as part of the marketing blitz to celebrate obesity. Shame, because healthy (thin) bodies in low rise jeans look fantastic.

      I miss low rise jeans, but I’d be a tray of muffin tops these days. That being said, when I was in my teens and early 20s they may have fit me perfectly around the front with my flat stomach and narrow hips but my big kaboose (that was not in fashion back then) really struggled to stay in! Avoiding plumber’s crack was a daily struggle. They were made for a very specific body type.

      High waisted jeans don’t do heavy people any favors, as it makes their fupa more pronounced if they have their shirt tucked in
