This. Because they are the sexiest jeans for women. Nuff said.

Skinny young women who are in shape through the waist.

They do NOT look good on jiggly women or women whose waistlines pouch or roll.

They look laughable on anyone older than their 20s.

+1 In the early 2000s they were so comfortable. If your hips are the widest part of your bod it's so comfy to have things hanging there. Think about how women like to wear sweatpants, etc. Slung on our hips.

I liked them also, but I was 25 years younger then. Now I prefer a higher waist, but I don't mind if others want to wear theirs lower, unless I can see their underwear or parts of their body that I don't want to see.

Superior jeans

I like them because I'm short-waisted and they're easier to style on my body type than high-waisted pants. They're also more comfortable as long as they aren't so low that I have to constantly tug them up. I do like the elongating look of high-waisted jeans, but I'm happy to have lower-rise styles back in fashion so I can mix it up.

I still wear them because they’re more comfortable and flattering than high-waisted jeans.

Nope. You’ve got it backwards. The hips being the widest part of the body is why it’s so uncomfortable to have things hanging there. It’s much easier to rest things on top of the hips where they have support than to rely on tightening them enough to stay in place against gravity, especially when movement loosens the fabric and causes slippage.

Moreover, they really aren’t that sexy. Unless your top exposes the midriff, they visually distort the wearer’s proportions, making the legs look shorter with the waist lower and wider than it actually is. Exposing the midriff is even worse. Aside from the muffin tops that tend to form from them being cinched so tight on anyone who’s not model skinny (and the majority of American women are likely to be heavier), when they slip they also expose underwear and drag it down. I was so glad when the low-rise trend passed and I could go out without seeing a parade of butt cracks and belly rolls on other women.

High waisted jeans rest comfortably on the hips, accent the waist if you have one, help hide a belly if you have one, and lengthen the legs. They are far superior in every way.

Next up: Why in tarnation would women with largish breasts wear tight tops?

Comfortable/short-waisted/ look good except very low

They ARE comfortable if you're not a fatty. I used to wear them because my waist is naturally so high that they sort of put me back in the right proportions.

They’re comfortable

Their friends will call it cute, they will say they’re just jeans but really they are beacons for the male gaze.

Why do they wear jeans so low? Why? It's sexy, but why do they do it?
