If by high-waisted you mean coming up to the waist, then that's what I always wear - can't stand hipsters or anything that a belly can hang over the top (yes, I bellydance, but I wear a power net body stocking to hold my wobbly bits in). I also hate when women wear thongs that come up higher than the waist of their jeans - looks skanky in my opinion.
If you mean coming higher up than the waist, then I'm not so sure. I'm short, so would look even shorter in those - I'd imagine I'd look like a toddler.
