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

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.

I'll have to check out ezibuy then.

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 wear Mens 501s, well I will be wearing them again shortly when I've lost the rest of this weight.

There is an amazing 2nd hand store just near Covent Garden (London) that I get all my men's jeans from. I love the jeans they have in there.

I am looking forward to investigating and finding all the wicked 2nd hand stores like this (if they exist) when I get to Melbourne!
