I know you think you have superior style, but you actually don’t. True style is knowing what looks good on body types, and knowing the difference between tends (created by companies to make you buy stuff) and style (timeless sense of what looks good on your body).


Respectfully I don't think you can have great style if you never adjust your clothing to reflect any trends at all. I'm not saying wearing something that makes you look fat (because let's cut to the chase, flattering is code for thinner or narrower or taller) because its the new trend but all the women we think of when we talk about "timeless style" also evolved their clothes and styles along with the times. The exception is basically white denim and britton sweaters or whatever else people wear on yachts or whatever but for the most part, evolving with time is part of great style. At least throughout the decades.


Sure, to some degree, if only because the market dictates what you can actually buy. But if you go to Europe and check out the well-dressed older ladies, you'll see that they all have an extremely classic style.


""French women are not fashion slaves but rather style followers. They will carefully review the new season’s trends and select one or two items to update their look, giving solid basics a new twist."

That's what I'm talking about!

So thin.


5'9" and 123lbs, and they are the only style that truly look flattering on me.


Good lord, woman I wish. I am almost 40 lbs heavier than you (about a 29-30 waist, so I don't look bad and I'm pretty toned but still). I'd own SOOOOO many clothes if I was sub 140

I am 5'5" and straight up and down. I like wearing high waisted pants, maxi skirts, and belted shirt dresses. This woman was constantly laughing at my clothes (literally laughing, I wore a pair of high waisted bell bottoms once and she straight up laughed and told me how ugly they were).

The thing is; I didn't care then and don't care now. I wear the clothes I like.

I honestly don't think she had the self-awareness back then, but maybe she does now.

Anyway, some women are naturally thin and look good in high waisted denim. You just sound petty when you try to tell them not to wear it. People should wear what they feel good in. I'm not required to pretend I don't look good in my high waist jeans just so you can feel better about yourself.


Ugh I hope you’re not friends with her anymore-she sounds horrible.


She was never my friend. We just knew people in common and occasionally I would give her a ride somewhere or invite her to my house if I was having everyone over because I'm not a rude person. Luckily I haven't seen her in years!

I'm slightly pear shaped and high-waisted flares look really flattering on me. I also have a long torso and shorter legs and this style makes my legs look really long.

A bit of a tangent but--with the very low rise jeans what I noticed was that tops, especially jackets, seemed to have their waist darts way ABOVE the natural waist. That's always looked very strange to me but especially with the very low rise jeans.

Oldster here: we used to wear high waisted jeans and tuck our shirts in. No stretch. Ironed our clothes. Now if I wore that after years of the comfortable clothes we wear now it would seem so uncomfortable. Not to mention unflattering.

I’m 40 something and hate high waisted, mom jeans! Even though I now am the age of the frumpy moms that used to wear them when I was young.

+1
I was in Union Station the other day and so many young women are wearing casual styles that show off a trim upper hip. Yeah, I know that's no longer my best point, so I'm not thrilled for me. Still, there's no denying that hips are pretty, and they've been under emphasized in fashion for the last decade, so it's fresh, flattering, and takes nothing away from the back view. Same with runners, they're switching to styles that don't hide the hip--men and women.
