what about this idea of
wrangler and lee making a comeback?...
those are both higher waisted generally and were HUGE in the 70's....
has anyone checked them out recently?...
i don't even know where they are sold?...
...
wrangler and lee are ALL over the place here in sydney atm.....
all kinds of washes......high-waisted skinnies are here too.....
EVERY kind of skinny is here.....
......
there's lots of girls still wearing tsubi, bettina liano and sass & bide.....
but they seem to be the under-25's and the 'sheep'.....
the women in their late 20's and 30's who are truly chic (and ahead of the 'trends', imo...) are wearing these high-waisted skinnies with little blouses and delicate cardigans.....its winter here at the moment.....
my fear is that you have to be rather long and lean to pull off the high-waisted jean, especially when its so tapered.....
although i'm sure YOU could master it, softie.....as you seem to do all looks....
its just that the high-waisted pants here right now are rather exaggerated.....
they look higher than a regular waist (not hipster)....i do think stella mccartney did a pair that may have triggered this......i'll have to look in the shops.....
