i don't even like them all that much on gwen. and she's gorgeous and can pull off a lot.. they shorten your torso terribly.. i like low-rise jeans cuz i already have pretty long legs, but my torso is short and out of proportion. these would just make that even more obvious. i think i've seen some in a victoria secret catalogue and they looked alright.. but even still, you have to have the body of a super model to make them look just "alright."

Well, I think super low-rise are as ugly as high-rise jeans. The best are mid-rised jean, and those are the most flattering jeans on anyone.

I'm just sick and tired of seeing people's ass-cracks or thongs everytime they bend down.

I recently bought a pair of mid-rise pants after rocking low-rise for years and believe me or not, they're more flattering then low-rise ( I'm actually thinking of getting more of those ). Also they don't show your ass-crack to the world everytime you bend down.
Plus mid-rise are perfect to hide tummy since the belt sits right on it and not under like low-rise or above like high-rise, which they makes your tummy way more obvious

Mid-rise is the way to go!

say no to crack.

But ITA, it seemes to me that somehow nice, fitting jeans disapeared and whats left is either super low dont-you-dare-bending-over Jeans or... skinny jeans. arrrrgh

 

[asian_eyes]

jeans => never ever

trousers => yes forever

 

[Bernadette]

NAY!

I have some friends that are ultra into 70's style, which actually seems to be a big thing in San Diego right now. But anyway, whenever they wear high waisted jeans I just feel uncomfortable looking at them!

I saw an ad in Elle's February Mag. with a model in a highrise pant, and she looked hot. *shrugs* Although, I don't believe I'd EVER be caught in them myself.

High-waist jeans make me think of Seinfeld episodes. Especially ones in black.

 

[EmbalmerBabe]

High waisted jeans are called "MOM JEANS" on Saturday Night Live for a reason!
Lol they are funny looking! Gwen's pants are not that bad but those
are nice expensive classy looking slacks. As far as jeans go
you don't want to wear "MOM JEANS"....lol!

 

[Cosmopolitics]

Ugh, Mom jeans are making a comeback, too?

Ugh, no. No, no, no! Thaaaaaaanks, I'll leave early 90's fashion where it belongs -- in the 90's.

 

[ginger9]

NO WAY to mom jeans but if high waisted is coming back I think it will look a lot different than mom jeans, you know slimming and fitted like carberet pants...although I think you pretty much need a perfect body to pull this look off. I wouldn't wear it unless I have a flat stomach and get my asian j-lo bum down a few sizes

 

[MxAxC-_ATTACK]

i dont think its so much high wasted Denim that is making a comeback.
its more of a high waisted Vintage polyester type pant. something like (above) gwen stefani has been sporting lately. along with Christina Augilera

 

[d_flawless]

i like the sailor-esque style a la gwen...but on her.

jeans though, no...cameltoes ain't cute!

 

[MxAxC-_ATTACK]

haha I dont think the big assed bleached Denim Elastic waistband tapered ankle denim jeans are gonna come back into style..ever.

 

[aeni]

I'd give it a try. I think high pants as long as they're patterned/draped correctly can look good, but in our curvy society - they won't make much of a comeback.

At least right now. Fashion always recycles, it just depends on the consumer accepting it.

 

[spectrolite]

No.
No..
No...!

On most people anyways. Gwen looks hot in hers fo' sure. She'd look hot wearing a hat made out of a pizza box though.

 

[kiss_love_kill]

only works if you have model like figure

 

[Katura]

If you want your bum to look as long as your legs...go for it.

Horrid. And I tell my mother everyday.

They're so uncomfortable, tummy or not.
