High waist jeans. Yay or nay?

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?

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.

At least right now. Fashion always recycles, it just depends on the consumer accepting it.


lol our curvy society...

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!

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!

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.
