Amen to that! There is only one body type that looks good in those and 99.9% of women don't have it. If you are anorexic with hips, then go for it. Everyone else needs to wear something else.

My brother lives out west and he says everyone is wearing high-waisted now (which he hates due to the pancake-ass effect).

American Eagle has some pretty high-waist jeans in stores right now.

I like your attitude! I have found that some of the jeans at Loft or Ann Taylor offer a bit of a higher waist. Not so high they are unattractive, but they definitely don't show butt crack or anything. If they don't have your size in the store, try their online site.

Totally agree! I've had some great luck at Ann Taylor Loft especially for higher waisted jeans. They help SO much with the muffing top situation. I just bought 3 pairs of their Modern Straight Leg Jeans - they are perfect on the waist and still straight leg - not skinny, but still trendy.

Stretch fabric high-waisters? Um, let's hope they don't exist!! Spend some time with the stylist at Nordstrom's or something, they'll help you

They exist. They are in style right now. Try Madewell and Gap.

the old navy sweetheart jeans are pretty high-waisted. and cute, and keep their shape, unlike other old navy pants i've had.

Ha. I wish you were my friend, OP.

J Crew has those cool, high waisted ones with stretch. The Point Sur Hightowers are amazing.

Lane Bryant. I bought size 16 stretch high waisted jeans there.
