Denim Analogy #1: Hi-waist jeans: Jainesse :: Hummingbird: Jamaica….
The hi-waist blue jeans (top row, 2nd image from left–available at Intuition online) are from Jainesse and there’s more hotness where that came from too Kelis, Jessica Alba, Eva Pigford, Maria Bello, and Mandy Moore have been rocking Jainesse signature hi-waist styles before it was a “fashion revival.”

You’re giving yourself a shout out? That’s neat as shi*! lol Do you design only jeans??

I question the comfort of those extra high pants, but Elise is killing it! Fabulous! I figured this was something I could never wear, but there was a girl in the store much shorter and curvier than me, and she had on a pair of wide leg ones, with this crazy blouse. She looked great. I don’t know if I’d buy them (I actually don’t know what stores have them), but I’d try them before I diss them completely.

FAT WOMEN PLEASE, DON’T TRY THIS STYLE, PLEASE FOR THE SAKE OF ALL OF OUR EYES. FAT WOMEN WHO CALL THEMSELF THICK, STAY WEARING SHIT THAT SHOULDN’T BE CAUGHT DEAD IN. IF YOU ARE EXTREMELY HIPPIE WITH BIG BUTT AND THIGHS, THIS LOOK IS A NO, NO FOR YOU.

I have these already (the ones Kimberly Elise is wearing). I love them. They only look cute on smaller women.

Love this lool, this style makes your ass look nice and round! But not for the thick or fat ladies!

LOL… It’s so funny, but all the trends lately have been for skinny girls… The drapy mini dresses, the skinny jeans…. And, then you’ve got the more body conscious silhouettes coming up for Spring…
I’m a thick girl, thick enough that I don’t do pieces that are unflattering on larger bottoms… That’s why I was never into those bubble dresses or potato sack dresses (see Beyonce in that Catharine Malandrino bubble dress, to see why I didn’t go there). But, as I am a Southern girl, I’m not averse to having a bigger bottom… So, I indulge myself. I’m into layering. I’m into jersey dresses, pencil dresses, pencil skirts… I’m into all these things lauded as “skinny girl trends…”
So, I will agree with you ladies, some things are meant for waifs, some pieces, either you’re 90 lbs or you can’t begin to look even okay in them; but, others… it’s a matter of opinion, and as our culture (and especially my southern heritage) celebrates stout bottoms and big legs, I see nothing wrong with wearing many things traditionally believed only for spectral girls…

THE END OF MY RANT lol

KELIS is such a trendsetter and style ICON.

high waste jeans are so cute…so 70’s…but i dont think all kinds of high waste jeans look good on me, im short and so i would need heels. and plus…im not so cuuuurrt round the low waste area..LMAO

Speaking from a UK point of view, high waisted jeans have not “triumphed” over low rise jeans. Here in the UK we have atleast 10 different fashion styles going on at once. High wasted jeans stand next to low rise jeans among others, they don’t cancel them out. I noticed American fashion is probably the slowest in the World. And you all only have one fashion going on at once, that everyone feels they have to copy. No individuality.

Some of you really need to travel, you could learn a lot from others. Not only in fashion.

I have the jeans Megan Good has on and she go them from Bare Feet. For $30.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I hear you #84. It’s why I don’t bother even window shopping anymore–every store sells the same exact thing these days. I don’t ever remember it being this bad before. That’s why I’m like “screw it” and am designing my own clothing.

I’ve been looking for a pair of those jeans for the LONGEST. Thanks for posting that site up..I’ma go order 2 pairs now. lol

You should try shopping online, then… I mean, your own designs are inevitably the best, but you can find a variety of oddities online… I would say go thrifting, because I’m addicted to it, but it has become such the cliche lately (nearly every conceivable vintage style has been reproduced and is now available at every shop (both high and low end) you can think of)… I plan on putting a directory up in a few days (the site is pathetic now, because I’m busy writing, but I’ll have it in order soon), I’ve got quite the list of online shops, but you can do a “boutique” search on google and find some too… That’s if you’re interested in finding some unique pieces online… Anyway, I get what you’re saying…

that was to #86… anyway *sigh* back to the grind… ——>

Gotta get me some cause I definetly have the body for it.

I like that look . Especially Ciara’s suspenders. I’m glad I can wear that style cause my body type is just right for it :)!

I like it better than tha lowrider jeans.They all look good especially Elise Neal.

they really do work for damn near everyone. i am not really hippy but i gota big behind so it makes my hips pop out more! plus its almost like wearing a girdle or something cus it sucks EVERYTHING in

Eww they biting “The Queen Of R&B” Ciara’s style Ciara rock’d it better tan all their asses cu she look the BEST and is more vilogsous

High waist jeans are HORRIBLE!

Maybe it’s because I live in London, but you guys are a bit late with this one. High waisted trousers have been around for about a year!?!

I’m sorry but I am having a hard time reading the web addresses since they’re on the pants. If you’re able to make out what it says, can you please let me know???

Thanks!

they making the mom jeans cool. ha!
