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

**Turkish Delight** · January 15th, 2010, 06:04 PM

I want to buy a pair of denim shorts or 3/4s and all they have are friggen low rise. I can just get them past my pelvis and can't do them up thanks to my overhang.

I can't find any high rise jeans.

Are you sick of low rise pants, like i am?? Or do you love them??

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

**Tinks** · January 15th, 2010, 06:17 PM

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

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?

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)

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.

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

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

...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

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** · January 15th, 2010, 06:24 PM

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** · January 15th, 2010, 06:27 PM

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

**Smoke Jaguar** · January 15th, 2010, 06:31 PM

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

**aussienic** · January 15th, 2010, 08:17 PM

I have the same problem but have found Target and Kmart seem to have the pants I need.. Not always but

**Fleur** · January 15th, 2010, 10:11 PM

But does it all have to be low rise or high waisted? Isn't there something in between?
I don't love high waist either, although maybe that is what my idea of 'normal' is these days.... eugh, now I feel old

**MantaRay** · January 15th, 2010, 10:54 PM

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!
