The big pants debate!

[xSuperMario64x]

this is a hot topic for me and my mom so I'm wondering where you all stand on this debate: low or high waisted pants?

I personally used to not care as a kid, but starting in high school I will only wear high waisted pants. they feel much more comfortable to wear; my main gripe with low waisted pants is that they always feel like they're gonna fall, even if I wear a belt. plus bending over with low waisted pants on is just a huge no for me.

this goes for all types of pants: denim, leggings, sweatpants, pajamas, etc.

Same here xD I prefer high-rise for everything really. Pajamas are probably one of the only exceptions But it doesn't matter a lot for those since you can just sleep without?

My sweat pants are sitting high waisted right now so that's my answer. It makes it feel like my tummy is a secret lmao sshhh

 

[Alienfish]

High-waist. Low waist doesn't look good on many people and I basically see it as an excuse to show off you coin-operation. And those baggy low-waist pants are definitely not "sexy" by any way.

I prefer high waisted pants, they’re just more comfortable. I can move around in them without worry!

 

[Corrie]

Mid rise? I like it right in the middle.

 

[Bcat]

High rise. I wear nothing but high rise and have no intention of ever changing that. They’re so much more comfortable and flattering than low-rise.

 

[itsmxuse]

Definitely high waisted all the way. If I wear anything else it just makes me feel uncomfortable

High waisted they’re just cozier. I like the security of knowing that nobody will see my bum if I go to tie my shoes.

high-waisted, i didn't think they made a difference so i'd buy low-waisted jeans in high school and end up not wearing them because they would always look super unflattering. i thought i just didn't look good in jeans until i got a few high-waisted pairs and then
plus with low-waisted i would constantly pull them up because they felt like they were falling or showing more than they should have even though they weren't

It depends on the type of pants for me. Pajama pants or anything with an elastic waistband are fine high-waisted. Jeans or slacks have to be low-waisted because of the zipper. I've always had this stomach pooch that I can't get rid of no matter how much I exercise and I can't get high-waisted pants to zip over it even if they fit me everywhere else. I wear long shirts and sweaters, though, so I'm not worried about showing anything when I bend over in my low-waisted pants.

I love high waisted. I always pair them with a crop top. I hate bending over with a low rise. My guts fall out, my butt crack is exposed. It shows too much when paired with a crop top. Overall just not flattering for me haha.

 

[Imbri]

I'm short-waisted, so higher waistbands are more comfortable on me.

 

[Antonio]

I would say low waist jeans but that is because I don't be wearing my belts.

 

[mayortiffany]

High-waisted all the way!

I have a long torso, so some high-waisted jeans basically are just regular jeans with a bit of height on them for me. If I want true high-waisted pants, I have to look for the pants that are marked as being extra high-waisted.

Low-rise jeans are extra low on me because of my torso length, so I try to avoid those at all costs.

 

[Aurita]

Easily high waisted for me! Maybe it’s just the way my body is but low waisted just doesn’t fit or look right on me plus no thanks to the amount of low rise pants wearing people bending down and flashing their underwear or buttcrack

but high waisted pants do sometimes give me that weird gap bc my waist & hips aren’t the same size

 

[amemome]

I have Booty Crack Syndrome so I prefer high-waisted pants. They also help me keep my tummy rolls in check LOL

 

[TheSillyPuppy]

High-waisted pants, 100%.

I don't know which big brain fashion designer first came up with low-rise pants and, furthermore, how on earth the trend caught on. They fall all the time, even with wearing a belt, and the zippers come undone way too easily with the smallest movements.

 

[xlisapisa]

I don’t mind normal waisted sweat pants and/or pajama pants or basically anything I would wear around the house can be any waisted, it don’t matter. But if I’m going out and in public I definitely like my jeans, leggings, and all other pants all high waisted. I, along with pretty much everyone in this thread, do not fancy any amount of my butt crack or undies to show up when bending over in low waisted pants. Plus high waisted pants helps keep my stomach in check and does look very cute with crop tops!

High waist all the way. Low rise jeans give me flashbacks to the horrible fashion trends of the early 2000's.
