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.
This is a high-quality comment, dingus.
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 ๐
Ironically, probably something Kanye West would say
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.
I cycle, so I'm definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.
Can I suggest wearing a WWE belt backwards?
Joking of course, wear whatever you're comfortable in
You exercise in jeans?
they probably cycle to get around, not exercise.
No, I commute in jeans. Makes it super hard to find high-waist jeans that are narrow at the bottom and also have a certain degree of elasticity, so when I find them I buy a lot.
