I want to buy a pair of denim shorts or 3/4s and all they have are friggen low rise. I can just get them past my pelvis and can't do them up thanks to my overhang.
I can't find any high rise jeans.
Are you sick of low rise pants, like i am?? Or do you love them??
Im with you Turkish Delight. I hate them! Have a bit of a phobia of sitting down and looking like some girls who let the whole lot hang out (my niece is terrible for this!). I cant get shorts in high rise but the jeans I wear are Levi's, can get them in all sorts of shapes and sizes! Although being a shorty the always seem to be too long
I"m with you! I hate them as I am short waisted, so they just look foul on me, I mean really foul and yeah, they don't look good with a belly at all. ezibuy have loads of high rise capris, maybe google them and have a look?
I don't like them at all, they make me look short(er), but I also don't like high rise.....so I wore mens levis for years. They seem to be juuust right.
Eurgh. I cannever get them to stay up, they always fall down. And I am totally paranoid about flashing in them
On the funny side...DD was going through my bag of old old old clothes a few weeks back..she found my old Levi501s & squealed 'oooh, you have high-waisted jeans!' and I just laughed & said 'honey...not high-waisted ... that was normal then'
OMG before I got pregnant I LOVED them, now I hate them. But I don't like high waist because then I can't breathe (or are my high waists too high? LOL! I am a short-ass) and find myself most comfortable in mid-waist (lol mid-waist I just made that up I think!). Thanks 'overhang' and damn hip fat! lol

I like them, but they're rubbish for parenting small children, you can't crouch in them unless you have a long top on. Or a really really trusty belt. Or a long stretchy singlet that's tucked in.
I agree that 3/4 stuff seems to be mostly lo rise. Hm. Could you get a pair of high/mid rise normal straight leg jeans and then roll them up to be 3/4?
So i'm a nanna Plus i can't wear my nanna or bridget jones undies either with them
Yeah Nelle, you can't crouch as your bum shows, and that is definitely not a good site on me.
But why are they so the go?? What about the elderly ladies who want to buy 3/4 jeans?? Okay, that sounds silly, i've never seen elderly women in denim 3/4s.
LOL I've been trying my darndest to get my MiL into some funkier clothes...but all 73 years of her conspire against me and she gets into those elasticated waists with the narrow ankle all the same...!
I have a similar story to Jasp's - DP saw a pair of jeans of mine I wore in my early 20's and laughed at them for being 'harry high pants'...ummm, these were the original low waist jeans before you could find them in every jeans outlet - my trusty Gas Station hipsters from 1996! Then hipsters got cut even further and now they should be called Crotchsters.
Definitely specialty underwear! I wear everything low (skirts a size up so that I get the style, but not sitting so high) so all I own are hipster undies.
I recall my friends rejoicing when high-waists were making the catwalks two years ago - where did those styles go?
TD - you might like the clothes at the Wind and Water Designs website (google). Shorts with a higher waist And made in Brisbane - email the lady, she'll take in extra details to match you to a style or size. I've got her Grace Pants, and they are the only pair of higher waisted pants I have but that is completely offset by the maddest flare ever!
I don't like them because I always seem to end up with a muffin top - no matter what size. I got some good mid rise 3/4 at Big W. I still always have to take the waist in cause I have a larger bum and thighs than waist.
I cant stand high waisted pants i feel like im suffocating so im all about the hipsters though skinny leg jeans seem to be much more flattering on me (well i like to think so)
But does it all have to be low rise or high waisted? Isn't there something in between?
I don't love high waist either, although maybe that is what my idea of 'normal' is these days.... eugh, now I feel old
