… wait no actually a jdress sounds awesome
She’s from Louisiana, which was originally a French colony whose government was based in Quebec, soooooo this tracks.
No, time is cyclical. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
I’m really not a fan of the high waisted era. Bring back the hipster era
I don’t disagree, but the high-waisted era works a lot better for girls with more curve to their figures, which I see as a net gain.
And considering the number of overweight/obese people continues to grow apace, it’s not a bad thing for them to be able to feel good about themselves and have fashion options that flatter their figures instead of all fashion being catered to near-impossible body types.
This should not be read as an endorsement of obesity, which can be a dangerous medical issue, but rather a willingness to see that everyone deserves to feel positive about their self image. Weight gain is a difficult issue to tackle in a country that subsidizes corn syrup and puts it in damn everything, on top of a broken education system that certainly doesn’t teach people healthy eating.
Every man, woman and other deserves the chance to feel comfortable and beautiful. Just because I like and prefer something, doesn’t mean everyone or even my wife has to… I’m not Kanye West 😂
Obesity itself is poorly defined and the understanding of it has been determined by diet culture fads that affect the directions nutritional science goes, in a co-production feedback loop. Medicalizing adiposity is fraught with socioeconomic issues. Best to let people live and wear what they like.
On one hand, low rise jeans were a result of the beauty ideal at the time being “heroin chic,” which was undoubtedly harmful and caused many to develop eating disorders.
On the other hand, high waisted jeans are a result of the beauty ideal now being Kim Kardashian, which is still harmful (ask all the women out there with botched Brazilian butt lifts), not the least because the Kardashians lie about their bodies being natural so they can shill useless products.
Although having a small waist is still ideal, I’m glad the window has shifted back from the time when celebrities were slammed in every magazine as fat for looking like this.
As someone who has PCOS belly the opposite is true. High waisted jeans are a nightmare to wear with the bloating and extra abdominal fat.
The bloating creates a different challenge from being overweight. If your waist fluctuates throughout the day, high waisted jeans become pretty uncomfortable. I’m overweight and don’t really deal with any bloating and find high waisted jeans more flattering than low-rise jeans; they also stay on better.
Hmm, I think the key lies in your username. Replace corn syrup with hot sauce. You can still subsidize farmers, just have them growing Carolina Reapers instead of field corn.
I cycle, so I’m definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.

The kids are doing 2011 again
And there are people that make more money in a year than you’ll make in your life, whose “job” it is to decide to raise that seam a half inch up from last year for fashion, to acolades and red carpet galas praising their unparalleled genius for doing it.
Then the ones that actually make the jeans that people actually wear make less in their lives than we make in a year.
Humans are soooo weird, cruel, and cruel in genuinely weird ways.
They didn’t “decide it”. If you get fat as many nowadays do, you’ll just spill over your jeans. The only way to avoid that is by raising them up high. This is one disingenuous picture because of that.
I’d we were suddenly as soon as we were in 2011, we would wear the clothes the way we did in 2011 .
Not only is this not true, but like others in the thread have said, the current jeans fashion is actually a callback to the 1980s.
Yeah, it’s been here a while and is already moving on to the 90’s, I’m seeing huge wide jeans out there. As a slim jeans wearer who doesn’t care much for fashion I am stocking up now because they are going to be like gold dust soon, I’m not making that mistake a second time.
