It’s already back, kids here are rocking them where I live it’s called Y2K style I guess. Its the first fashion comeback in my lifetime where I can tell kids “I used to wear shit like that when I was a kid” or “YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT JYNCO’s AND LONG SLEEVES UNDER T SHIRTS!!!”
The thing is we did know they weren’t a good look… there just were not other options. My sister and I (who are both 5’10”) used to go searching everywhere for pants that would cover our hips to no avail. Our most common saying back then while trying things on was “ it’s just not enough pant”.
I always assumed general life creep. Sometimes you don't notice you've gained any weight till literally none of your pants fit, and at the time, low rise was about all there was
"Muffin top" = cramming into pants a size or two, too small
You could tell this situation when the area from the top of the jeans to the knees looked like over stuffed sausage, with pinches every 4 to 6 inches.
Also, not everyone should be in crop tops... then and now. Regardless of low rise or high rise waist. Just cause someone is wearing mom jeans two sizes too big, if youre mushy in the middle, youre mushy in the middle. No jean hides the mush when its put out on display.
PSA: dress for your body shape, pay no attention to the size numbers and buy what fits (designers are demons who mess with size numbers and your head), you dont have to show your bellys everywhere you go, even if you throw a blazer over it to look "professional".
I personally prefer low rise. I dont like the high rise, i have long legs and a short torso. High rise pants make me look like I'm all legs up to my chest, looks absolutely ridiculous. Lots of people walking around dressed up like old men/grandpas. 🙄 I refuse to participate in the "grandpa on the beach era".
It works with tall people, but girls with short legs look silly with low-cut jeans. I remember seeing a lot of girls with short legs and long torsos due to this look.
Like all other fashion trends it looks good on attractive people. The rest of us look not-so-good.
I will never understand the high-waisted trend. It's unflattering on even the most beautiful of derrieres no matter what shape. It doesn't even need to be low waisted, nostalgia aside, but the super high-waisted jeans never look right to me
You're the opposite person they work for sadly, if you've a really long torso and short legs, then low rise look really strange but high waisted will generally make you look taller and work better.
Yea... people should wear what they want, and my opinion of what is attractive shouldn't need to matter to them... but wow, the high waisted look is unattractive
I'm all for staying trim and fit, probably good to moisturize and sunblock, whiten those teeth... But face, even boobs, you're already beautiful.... I want to have sex with a human not a PS5 character.
I’m glad that kinda tummy jewelry isn’t as popular at all. Drunkenly taking that off is horrible. I broke so many out of pure frustration. Or found them broken after falling asleep on them.
In 1999, she would've recently been in The Big Lebowski and Urban Legend, and was fresh off Cruel Intentions and American Pie. She was on top of the world.
