    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

    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

    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.

    I'm another that doesn't do low rise.

    Hey TD did you find any?

    I have a pair of Jag 3/4 mid rise jeans - love em! Only bought them in October so surely they'd still carry them???

    Oh, I hate the low-rise, too.
    And to be honest, I often see people wearing them and think "what were they thinking?"
    It is NOT sexy when half your buttcrack shows. No matter how hot your bod.
    I also used to love men's 501's. Although they'd probably be seen as harry high-pants now, too.
    I also don't like the full-on high rise (like in the 80s). Just a normal in-between rise that you can move around in, bend over, crouch down, and sit down, without tempting someone to deposit their spare change between you rear cheeks.
    And yes, I loooove flares. I don't even know if they still suit me (they used to, but I was a lot slimmer then). But I don't even really care. I just love them.
