I used to love low rise - suit me best. But since bubs I now have big muffin top so have been wearing mid rise to try and tuck it all in :ROFL: I did find some 3/4 in target. But if you want a really nice pair of jeans or 3/4 pants then JAG jeans are the way to go. Myer always has them on sale. I love them to death and I can't kill them :)
I am so glad that I am not the only one who hates them! I have basically no waist and they are both uncomfortable and ugly on me. I have so much trouble buying jeans and I was starting to think I was the only one.
I'm not sure about shorts, but I have found that Jeanswest have a style that fits me well. Funnily enough I tried on a heap of their jeans not long ago and couldn't find any that fit well. Then I went shopping with a friend and tried on a pair she suggested and they were great!
i find the high waist ones suck in my gut and fat, whereas the low rise ones accentuate it as my fat sits on top.
I don't like them either! I generally go for men's shorts/pants cos they so much more comfy, with a baby bump it's not so easy though.
You can get mid rise Jasp, I have a pair of mid rise straight leg jeans from (I think) Just Jeans?
Honestly girls, check out WInd And Water Designs!! I'll get a pair of the rolldown pants for winter - you can wear them low, mid or high :)
TD ... i was gonna suggest MID RISE too ;)
When i sit down with hi-rise they hurt as they dig under my rib cage, ouch :shakehead:
BUT i'm with you there not a fan at all of low rise !!
Yup. Last winter I live in my Nobody high waisted skinny jeans, they sucked me in and nobody copped a look at my rear end when I knelt down to DS.:
Riders do a cut called bumsters, which are low rise in front but mid rise in the back. Great for if you don't want plumber's crack. Plus it has more elastine than Levi's so they're really comfy.
I can only wear low rise now because of where my lapband port is placed. I find that everywhere I shop, low rise is the hardest to get in my size!
Sad sight yesterday at docklands.....high rise denim shorts cuts off way too high at the leg. Oh bad look.
Lulu, do you mean when they have the pockets hanging out the bottom and you can just about see what they had for lunch? Lol! Seen a few of those around here too. Ew. Someone shoot me if I ever wear anything like that!
oh and tight as is apparently a must :sick:
OMG Lulu ... my Mum use to wear those shorts in the very early 80's ...
yep, 5ft short she was & great bod and she didn't have a care in the world to show off her bod, infact the overweight neighbours ' housewives ' wanted to kill her ... poor Mum always outspoken even in her clothes !!
... was even worse with her neighbours as the young guys in panel vans (Sandman) would toot her when driving by when she'd be hosing the front yard with her butt checks hanging out until these guys saw her turn around and they looked shocked as a woman in her late 30's was considered ' old ' then lol :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 like hipsters but not low rise, and bootleg preferably.
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???
