I bought a pair that I love except for the fact that my muffin top is now up under my boobs instead of down by my hips.

+1. I think fit and quality go a long way.

Same here! A good fitting high waist jean is like a hug! Love that feeling.

I have a pair of semi high waisted jeans. They come to just under my belly button (is that considered high waisted?) they are comfy. Anything higher looks ridiculous. On most people. I think it accentuates a gut. And I don’t even have one I’m a size 4! Mid rose jeans are the best for me as I don’t have a muffin top. I’m glad the super low waisted jeans are out.

More comfortable for me. I hate having my midriff exposed which is what happens when I wear mid or low rise. I also feel like my pants will fall off if they are not high waisted. I have a straight body type, slim and athletic, with a bit of loose skin on tummy from babies. High-waisted holds all that in.

For me they are more comfortable. Don’t pinch the pooch.

I agree. My most flattering, best fitting high rise jeans are too uncomfortable for me to wear sitting at my desk all day, or on a plane, etc. I would wear them out to lunch/dinner or a family event or things like that.
I have some high rise, wide leg jeans that are very comfortable for any kind of use, but they are a little harder to style.
I like boyfried style for something more of an all-day wearing jean.

Op here — I have an athletic build with small hips and a defined waist but not a tiny one.

To wear for long periods of time, ie all day, on long car rides, playing on the floor with kids. Do you agree or disagree? How do you get around this and how long will they last as the dominant style? And yes as a 41 year old I know I can wear what I want and I am not fashion plate by any means but I like to look vaguely updated.
