No. No. No. No. Nooooooooooooooo. I do not like them. Legwarmers I can handle, slouchy suede ankle boots even, but these jeans. are. a. fashion freakshow.

omg. It’s not just that we got used to seeing low for so long. Those are just way too high. Those are scary. It looks like a funhouse mirror.
Why can’t we have a happy medium, people???

Those are disgusting. I don’t know if it’s the model or the jeans, but yuck.

Ugh! I am not on board with this at all. Apparently, Tim Gunn is leading the charge on this revival.

Ok, so NORMAL-waited jeans hit me at the nipple. With these, I wouldn’t even have to put on a shirt!
Bonus??!?!?!

i myself have a few pairs of 70’s style high-waisted wide-leg flare pants (in colorful prints), and i love them. i have a small waist, and i like to show it off now and then. however, my opinion is that if you’re going to cinch the waist, DO NOT DEFINE what’s below it. it should be an extreme A-line from the waist down. especially not tapered legs. jeesh! Mom Jeans!

I think these jeans are cute.
But they’re also JUST a trend.
SO if u dont like them for YOU….
then don’t wear them.
It’s that simple.
