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.
