High waisted jeans aren't flattering

But if you HAVE a boyish figure and flat butt, the jeans on the right will just enforce that, whereas the ones on the left will give a more rounding illusion to a small and flat butt.

Ultra high waist give me a stomach ache when I sit down (in a variety of sizes. I just have a hard time with pressure on my belly). I’m an hourglass, so low rise meant the I was always pulling up my pants. Mid rise ftw!

I’ve had this happen too. Anything is better than low rise though, which made me look way trashier than I needed to in high school.

They make my butt look long and even flatter than it looks normally and add about 10 pounds-I can't wear them (I have a slim, boyish type shape). I think only women (primarily young women) with small waists, curvy, round rear ends and at least somewhat long legs can rock this trend well.

Thanks for sharing! Now go back to wear what you want to wear and leave other women alone. And no I don't wear them but, don't care if others do.

This is the OP-isn't that in part what this forum is about? Commenting on fashion trends? I don't understand the "leave other women alone" comment. How am I personally attacking anyone or being mean? Also, I don't care if other people wear them but I don't like feeling off trend/out of style, they are in style now and they don't look good on me so I naturally wish the style would change. Is that a terrible thing? If something is trendy or stylish and you look bad in the style isn't it natural to wish the style would change?

Also, I should have titled this thread differently. I'm not saying that they aren't flattering on anyone (as admittedly the title of this post implies-my bad). As I noted in the actual post, I think they work on women with hourglass figures. If you have a lanky, straight up and down shape like I do they don't look very good.

Even the skinny models look awful!

And why are all jeans about 2 inches too short? Even the ones that technically aren't cropped?

No. I’m 18:13 and 41 years old.

I also have what the DCUM hive would call a ‘boyish’ figure that these jeans supposedly don’t look good in but they look best on me since they accentuate the smallest part of my waist.

The debate on here about jeans ( skinny, low rise, high rise, bootcut..) is pretty ridiculous. Of course different jeans look better or worse on different body types. That’s a no brainer. But everyone here keeps acting like authorities on what looks good and what doesn’t.

Every BODY is different.

Those pants are just plain ugly though.

They are fat girl jeans.
Note: one of the models is 5’10
And the other is plus sized. She actually looks the best. They are for her.

Thank you. The idiots on here who insist that any one type looks terrible on everyone are so short sighted, I don’t know how they function in real life.

If you are this confused about fabric, I hope there are things in life you find less difficult to understand.

Listen lady the jeans aren’t flattering and you’re not smarter than everyone else because you refuse to see how distorted and grotesque people’s butts look in these jeans.

Wow-those really are ugly jeans. I'm sorry-no one would look good in those jeans.

All of Madewell's jeans are too short these days. I can't take a company seriously when they make such a blanket, bad design decision.

I wonder how their demin sales will be in the north east and upper mid-west this winter if they continue this.

Have someone take a pic of your backside in your high waisted jeans. Look at it and swear you don't look like "mom" or a pregnant spider.

Actually, they hold in my stomach pooch so I look like I've done a sit-up in my life.
