Found these Jordache at the thrift store the other day... loving them

sooo jealouss.
i just had a thought. maybe the reason why twiggy girls prefer low rise pants is cuz the waists are too big often times in proportion to the hips?

Just to demonstrate the power of Kate Moss , Topshop has a new line of Jeans which are exact knock off Kates infamous high waisted wide leg jean in a sea of skinnies at the Unique fashion show....ENJOY................

i would love to try out a nice pair of highwaisted - nicely tailored. I saw the ad for Diesel with this gorgeous pair of jeans and they looked so stunning! However my bf is very california-minded and high waisted anything is "ghetto" and wants me to get a nice pair of lowrise - but then complains that my asscrack shows when I sit down ...

I'm also pearshapped, so I hope to find a perfect pair someday.

I have bought a pair of high waist skinny jeans from topshop 2 weeks ago, they cover my belly and round the waist amazingly well! They are the best jeans i have ever had!

My guy friends love the higher waisted, see anything that crapilly made will look bad be it skinny(which i think are ridiculous) ,bootcut ,straight leg, high waisted, I wore heartshaped high waisted jeans with *** details , they give my butt the apple bottom affect which I like . Low rise , well those will never go away lol but im fed up of plumbers butt.

yeah, you might want to stay away from the long *** syndrome.
the right pair won't do it to you.
i think it's going to be a struggle to find, but i'm sure with all the jeans otu there, someone is bound to hit the nail on the head.

loveeeeeeeeee highwaist jeans. bought my 2nd pair of karen walker highwaist skinny jeans yesterday, they're perfect except i have a 20in waist so the waist area needs to get taken in :-s Mala Brajkovic has some really cool ones coming out in a few weeks in her new season, will post a pic when i get one.

^ please do! i adore mala brajkovic <3 do you know if her high-waisted jeans are skinny or straight-leg?

in general, i find that high-waisted jeans suit my curves (i have a small waist) as hipsters tend to 'cut me off' at an odd position on my body that isn't comfortable/flattering.

i tried a pair of lees on the other day and they were surprisingly flattering on my bottom; lees usually make me look as if i have a bubble-butt however i'm still on the lookout for the perfect pair; preferably minimal distressing and either a deep indigo or classic blue.

 

[julz_nz]

i'll find out for you - mala's shop manager/assistant is my flatmates girlfriend. the new stuff is actually looking quite cool!

 

[LISOC]

^ lucky you! thanks for looking into it for me <3

i love those jordache ones final fashion...you definately have a perfect body to carry them.. im jealous..

 

[julz_nz]

boyfriends don't know anything. my boyfriend thinks I look ridiculous in high waisted jeans, but do I listen to him? NO!! I even bought cheap monday eifeltowers. no man will come between me and fashion..

Exactly! My boyfriend HATES my high waist jeans. Do i listen? Of course not! If I like them, I'll wear them, i doubt many guys like the look at all.

 

[lostinemotion]

yeah, but it's not like they are saying it to be spiteful, they just don't think it looks good.
especially pancake ***.

 

[disco54]

well than i love pancakes

I have big butt....so i like the fact it gives it that apple bottomish affect....anyways what do regular guys know of fashion..they just wear tshirt and jeans...

also

women in the 30s,40s,50s,70s and 80s were doing it so its all about the female form , I am fed of fat hanging out and seeing people ***es , Many women wear high waists at is , but now with better cuts and designs you will see it go mainstream plus more women can wear it as oppose to low rise skinny jeans..which only look good on coltish boyish figures...which even many top designers are now admitting like proenza schouler...

Designers say: Memo to Women Everywhere: Skinny, cigarette-leg jeans DO NOT LOOK GOOD ON EVERYONE! In fact, they look good on almost no one except size 0 supermodels, but those women would look good covered in elephant dung and wearing burlaps sacks. Skinny jeans are best suited for slim-hipped boyish figures. If you have hips and an ***, skinny jeans won't generally look good on you. Yeah, I'm talking to you. The chick whose wide hips and ample thighs look like overstuffed sausages thanks to those tight-***, tapered-at-the-ankle jeans. Do yourself a favor. Go back to boot-cut. No matter how trendy cigarette jeans may be, do not be tempted! This too will pass. Just like rhinestone decked camouflage pants, platform espadrilles, Ugg boots with mini-skirts, trucker caps and gaucho capris.
