High waist jeans. Yay or nay?

[Beauty Mark]

I don't like Gwen in them, either. I think it's because of what I'm used to, but I find them uncomfortable. I have a suit that sits right above my natural waist line (bought it without realizing it, but at least I can cover the waist with the jacket), and I hate how it feels.

UGH! Nay! These things are so fugly. The only person I have ever seen them look good on was Marilyn Monroe! Even Gwen only looked 'alright'. One word: cameltoe.

I'm going to mostly agree-- maybe minus the "forever"

I think for the sake of variety* it can look really fashionable and put together as an office look. It has this twinge of 70s working woman feel- that's subtly hot to me.

*variety also has to mean that they be the right size, curve, material, color, details-- so pretty much perfect for me- dare I say tailored?

those trousers are absolutely gorgeous. but high waisted jeans...not as much.

Having been raised in the generation that have worn low-waisted jeans exclusively, I would have to say NO. I would also look at you with pure horror and mortification. Then again, the high-waisted jeans that I've seen thus far included tapered bottoms, reminicent of skinny jeans.

As for trousers, I wear mid-waisted ones for work. I'd feel too uncomfortable and stuck in the '80s wearing high-waisted ones.

high waist jeans??? ewww maybe pants like the pic above are slightly cute .. high waist and super low jeans are a NO NO for me.

lol our curvy society...

 

[Chanel_MAC]

I think it depends on the person. I'm only 5'2" so they definitely wouldn't work on me. It doesn't help I'm mostly legs either!

 

[zori]

Oh gosh no ... the high waisted jeans only looks relatively good on models. I believe if they do make a come back it would be more tapered to give a lean long look - at least I hope so.

I'd stick to my mid-waisted jeans!

The clever marketing people at the Gap came up with "Reverse Fit". Described as:

High-quality denim. Sits just above the waist, full through the hip and thigh, tapered leg opening. 5-pocket styling.

http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do...679&pid=396624

Anything with a description of "full through the hip and thigh" should raise some red flags. Ohhhhh, but the ever-so-chic 5-pocket styling makes up for that though, huh? What the "F" is 5-pocket styling?

Reverse Fit, no. It is what it is....Mom Jeans! Just say no!

 

[Beauty Mark]

The Gap has been marketing the reverse fit jeans for a while. I think it's because tapered jeans are considered bad.

5-pockets. From what I figured, they mean the two in the back, two in the front, and one tiny, decorative one inside the front right pocket.

 

[MAC_Whore]

Yeah, I just I just don't understand why they can't just say 5 pockets??

They're horrid &I'd never wear them. But I dont wear low rise either. I prefer a mid rise.

 

[somethingsinful]

i burned all of my moms high waist jeans for a reason and she knows that i would kill her if she ever bought any more...

 

[Artemis]

I have a short torso..high rise stuff is a no no for me.
