Low Rise Jeans **free vent incl. at no charge**

[Smoke Jaguar]

Love them - I have very little hip definition and low rise sorts out the illusion!

[Tinks]

I like them because I'm short and on me they sit a little bit higher like normal jeans do on taller women.

[Trillian]

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?

[Floweryfields]

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)

[Lulu]

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.

[Lulu]

Oh Trill yeah! The last pair of jeans that I loved to death and wore to rags were from ezibuy.

[Indadhanu]

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

[Glamourcide]

...and find myself most comfortable in mid-waist (lol mid-waist I just made that up I think!).

Hehe no, Just Jeans does 'mid-waist' jeans, I bought a couple of pairs after having DD2 because I now have some savage apron-gut and need something a teensy bit higher than hipsters, but high-waisted jeans are soooo unflattering on me.

I used to love hipsters... when I actually had hip bones and a flat tummy :/ Now I have to wear one of those big baggy batwing-style tops with jeans because they're either giving me a muffin top or falling down around my ankles thanks to me having no bum

I think it's more to do with the cut of the jeans and the fabric rather than them being low rise. I've tried on every pair in just jeans to find the right cut. Also a softer denim with a bit more give when it warms up might help.

I do love the low rise jeans but they are probably more suited to my shape now.

I recall the high waisted look of the 90's quite vividly and even more vivid in my mind is how unflattering it can look when someone is chunkier in the middle region and the jeans were buttoned up over it. I can't fit into my old 501's anymore because I am no where near as slender in the middle anymore but can't bear to part with them

[Lolli]

I'm a low rise, boot leg or flare kinda girl. No skinny jeans, and no high rise- they make me look like a midget.

Good denims are hard to find. No wonder people wear them till they go all holey.

[Lily Dust]

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

[Fleur]

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'

[Trillian]

ROFL Jasp, to think that once we were the norm and not just a fashion statement. What is the world coming to?

[Smoke Jaguar]

Men's 501's...they were the best!!! High-rises feel like corsetry on me, can't deal.

[Nelle]

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?

[Turkish Delight]

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.

I'll have to check out ezibuy then.
