[quote=Anonymous]Two things:

1) Wearing high rise does not have to mean wearing sling tight high rise that accentuates the roundness of your belly. I have one pair of high rise jeans that are very fitted and I save them for when I'm at my thinnest with no bloating (the belly is pretty naturally flat but it fluctuates with time of the month and other issues). But I have other high rise pants that aren't so tight and there's no "bulge" even though yes, I have a post-40, post-baby roundness in my belly. They are just pants that come up to my natural waist instead of below.

2) With low and mid rise pants, you can have the exact same problem with belly bulge if you wear them tight, only it's worse because it bisects all the weight in your midsection and can create a bulge above AND below the waistline. This is, IMO, much less attractive than the belly bulge in too-tight high rise jeans. I also find it harder to address. I can get rid of the "pooch" in high rise jeans by just sizing up one size. In low rise jeans, sizing up will result in them literally falling off. With mid-rise it might be okay but they will also wind up sitting lower. The nice thing about high rise is that the waist band sits on your waist, which is generally the smallest part of your body, and stays there. For me, at least, this is more flattering regardless of how pronounced my belly is at the moment.[/quote]
