Construction worker shouts to passing woman in low rise jeans…
“Hey luv! Show us your back fat!”
Look, the problem I have with low rise jeans is that it’s a total recycling of the Brigit Bardot era of fashion. Or, alternatively, the Ursula Andress moment in the first James Bond film.
I honestly believe that history will show that a tasteful high cut clothing which compliments a womans hips and curves in that region, as averse to exposing it awkwardly, will prove to be the more desirable.
The best analogy I can think of here is that the old rule of thumb if you’re a guy, and you have a weight problem, is that you should never wear a shirt with horizontal stripes, but rather one with vertical stripes - insofar as the former accentuates your weight the wrong way.
Same deal with low rise jeans - they accentuate your hips the wrong way - but holy fuck. THe fashion industry… it leaves me bewildered sometimes how a universal dsiplay of poor taste can become so popular.
I think the most important rule to follow when wearing low rise jeans is to make sure your hips are wider than your waist. I can’t tell you how many girls I saw during high school wearing low rise jeans with absolutely no hips and their waist just spilling over the top of their pants. They weren’t fat girls, just girls that were poorly proportioned. I’m on the bigger side and I own a pair or two of low rise (about an inch or two below my belly button) and I think they look great on me. I just make sure to wear shirts that meet the top of my pants so I won’t be flashing anyone by mistake.
Wow!!!
I’m 40, 5’8", a size 12, and love super-low rise jeans, especially with a halter top or a tube top.
Maybe it’s because I’m in denial about my age, and the alternatives all have to do with long black dresses and sensible shoes.
What REALLY bugs me are the women who wear tops with thin spagetti straps or something off the shoulders with a bra. Those bra straps are nasty. If your boobs aren’t perky enough to wear something that shouldn’t be worn with a bra - THEN DON’T WEAR IT!
I even went so far as to get a couple pairs of the men’s, put out by Levis. I like them, they’re really comfortable, but they don’t look radically different from the usual. Being made for guys, these don’t have the radically low cut, which I also think looks bad on women.
Today at work, I saw a girl whose lowrisers were SO low, I wondered how on EARTH she was able to keep them from falling off her non-hips to the floor.
I’m beginning to find this current fad as offensive as last year’s baby thongs from A&F that read ‘eye candy’, ‘wink wink!’ and ‘scratch n sniff’. :rolleyes:

My first disgusting encounter with a wearer of these pants was at a car race. The girl was two rows in front of my husband and me. You could see all the way down her crack. I would have preferred to see at least some underwear compared to a nasty crack! The man in front of me (right behind her) was joking by pretending to extinguish his smoke in her crack and then use it as a beer can holder. The poor girl had no idea that we were joking at her fashion flop at the time. What is so terrible about this ordeal, is not only did I see someone’s crack, but that my husband worked with this girl. He made sure to tell her and his co-workers what he had seen.
