Now & Then: High Waist Pants
May 19, 2007
The toughest pants to pull off this summer are the ‘mommy pants’, as coined by a PDI 2Bu columnist. It makes even the most skinny stars of Hollywood frumpy. So girls, unless you are a stick, you better stay away from this cruel pair.

Hm, well, what’s the problem with high waist pants?
I really love women wearing them because they emphasize the woman’s behind and the contrast of hip and waist.
I never understood the long lastng fashion of low-rise jens/pants/skirts, making average legs look short and even the skinniest woman a little overweight due to cutting into the upper part of the hip instead of surrounding it.
Not convinced? Try the Google Image-search and look for pictures of Marilyn Monroe in “The Misfits” wearing a white blouse and Blue denims.
Never tell me “avoid hi waist unless you are a stick” - MM was a Size 42!

You have a point Hilo. I wrote the article after reading a pretty convincing article from the PDI. Some women can pull it off while some can’t. Maybe I was making a hasty generalization and I was just writing in the spirit of fun.

These pants are awesome. I have a similar pair as the picture but blue jean material, I have never had a pair of jeans that looked so good on me. you don’t have to be a stick. just not a very thick low waist or a very a super big butt. That looks good in everything but these.imo
