am i the only one that think some of the low rise jeans are to low? i like low rise jeans because i have a low navel and my pierced navel wouldn't show before. some low rise jeans are ridiculous! i bought these cute bongo jeans that had a flower design down the leg. i tried them on and my butt crack almost show! i had to take them back.

I think the fad is about over. I noticed that some of the fashion magazines are slowly introducing pictures of the "latest" syle for pants which are those with a waistband which sits on or above the waist with tapered legs. I saw this happen from the '70s to the '80s and I suspect that everyone will begin to move away from those types of jeans in a year or two. Change sells.....

If low-rise jeans go away, then maybe so will those inane Old Navy "game show" commercials!

I love them and I live in them. Some of my pants that aren't labeled "low rise" sit on my hips or below the navel anyway. They're just more comfortable for me.

I just think of it as a newer, and more fashionable, version from the "sagging" trend of the early 1990s.

Low rise jeans are for those who possess flat abs otherwise they look funny if a person isn't. I think they're just good for young girls or women who strive for attention or something. Otherwise, better stick to something you feel comfortable with. But if a person loves wearin' them, then no big deal! :)

Personally, I don't care to wear them. I do think they look cool on thin women, but seeing a pot belly hanging over the top is gross, in my opinion. Also, seeing the crack in back does not enrich my life in the least...

Hi everybody...

I wear them because I am comfortable in them. I am by no means over weight, 5'6" and 118, but I am older so I don't wish to look like a mutton trying to be a lamb. But I am modest and don't get the ones that are way low. And I wear a body suit or form-fitting tank tucked under my clothes, because I am not out to show off.

I can't stand high waisted pants!!! I have always been this way, it makes me feel like Irkel... how's his name spelled? Anyhow, I do have a short waist so high waisted pants are so uncomfortable. Between fashion waves I usually search high and low for those lower waisted jeans.

So if times are changing and high waisted pants are "in" in the near future, count me out.

Wear what is comfortable for you.

We've all heard "dress for your age." To which I say, "bull."

I'd rather see an "older" woman with a fit body wearing skimpy clothes than an obese 18-year-old stuffed into a tank top with fat rolls peeking out the edges.

I think it's much more important to dress for the type of body shape that you have, not the age of the body.

Like some girls who wear g-strings and showing some of that butt with those low, low rise jeans! How tacky can that be? It's ok if you're out to impress/seduce your hubby or bf, but not for the public!

Speaking of regular low rise jeans, I understand now. I own some of them which aren't too low to show butt crack or high to my waist. They're London Jeans by Victoria's Secret, I love them and had them since 1998 with little tear or wear.

Butts cracks are horrible whether on the smelly guy fixing your plumbing OR a gorgeous young girl. Butt cracks should be banned in any circumstance. LOL.

LOL That reminds me of the crack spackle I saw on The Man Show.

I love low rise jeans personally. I have long legs, so low rise jeans have a better chance of coming down to my ankles. I have small hips though. I have a pair of flared corduroy pants that are awesome! That have lace insets that almost make them bell bottoms. Anyway, they're hip huggers, which I think are different than just low-rise, right? I had to sew tucks in them so they really grab me tight, or they'd fall down! I always wear them with long tops, so I don't have to worry too much about crack showing. I really can't squat or bend over in them without that happening, so long, oversized tops are a must.

The super-low-rise jeans don't really look like they'd be functional IMO, and with what other posters have said about butt cracks, that bears out my opinion. I also agree with the poster who said that it's the type of body that counts, not necessarily the age of it. For myself, I've always liked pants that sit at the top of the hip instead of the waist because they fit me better(slightly short-waisted but slim and well-proportioned, 5'5" 111lbs., age 56) Pants that sit at the regular waist feel so-o uncomfortable because the waist is cut too small, usually 10" smaller than the hip, whereas on me I have a 9" difference between waist and hip - been that way lifelong, even when I weighed 20lbs. more for a brief period in my 20's!
I also think the super-lows are going to go out of style pretty soon, but one never knows. The hip-hop style that a lot of teenagers wear has been going strong for about 10 years now, along with shorter-lived fads. Just my 2 cents here1

I wear a lot of low rise jeans. But i'm really thin too. Some people are just disgusting about it though and let them go WAY too low. I also wear really baggy pants.. I mean, they're like guys pants.

People who wear them low low though.. Ehh, I just think it's gross. ESPECIALLY when they sit down. It's just like.. Yeah, cover that up. And they (highschool girls) usually don't have the underwear on to cover them up, at all.

I cant stand the things personally. Unfortunately, I have a short body and a 10" inch difference between my waist and hips so everything ends up sitting on my hips anyway. I dont wear jeans, but even other pants always seem to be lowrise. I have a pair of cords that are so ridiculous I have to tie something around my waist when I wear them, or put on a belt that's so tight I cant breathe.

I love the new satin pants with drawstrings though. They're so comfy and I can tie them so they sit where ever I want.
