      Yup. Late post to this, but went shopping with our kids the other day and our daughter picked out several of the high waisted jeans that are popular now. I just chuckled looking at them and pointed out to my wife that she used to wear the exact same thing in high school - late 80s.

    And there are people that make more money in a year than you’ll make in your life, whose “job” it is to decide to raise that seam a half inch up from last year for fashion, to acolades and red carpet galas praising their unparalleled genius for doing it.

    Then the ones that actually make the jeans that people actually wear make less in their lives than we make in a year.

    Humans are soooo weird, cruel, and cruel in genuinely weird ways.

      They didn’t “decide it”. If you get fat as many nowadays do, you’ll just spill over your jeans. The only way to avoid that is by raising them up high. This is one disingenuous picture because of that.

      I’d we were suddenly as soon as we were in 2011, we would wear the clothes the way we did in 2011 .

          Yeah, it’s been here a while and is already moving on to the 90’s, I’m seeing huge wide jeans out there. As a slim jeans wearer who doesn’t care much for fashion I am stocking up now because they are going to be like gold dust soon, I’m not making that mistake a second time.

      Well you’re in luck because this meme is completely wrong. Low rise jeans are in style and have been starting to go on trend for a couple years, they’re everywhere now.

      It should be:

      Late 90’s to 2000’s low rise jeans

      2010’s high waisted jeans

      2020’s low rise jeans

      2030’s Best Jeanist?

      Whoever made this is a full decade out of touch with fashion.

    They haven’t been paying attention for long enough to make such a prediction.

    The waist height vs time function is approachable to a sinusoidal function with a period of about 20 years.

      This is the correct answer. It’s sinosoidal and the frequency has to stay low enough that the time between peaks and troughs will necessitate that people continuously buy jeans and can’t reuse the ones from the prior peak or trough.

        Haha I feel you. My theory is that once the trends and styles of your own youth reappear/are recycled by the younger generations, you are usually out of the game. That’s when you stop going with the trends. Because you cant ‘ironically’ wear the clothes you wore seriously 20 years ago, again. I can’t, at least…

    So 2 datapoints = the trend forever? I mean today I parked my car one space to the left of where I parked it yesterday. So I guess in a month it will be in the middle of the street.

    High waisted jeans are some of the most hideously unflattering clothing I’ve ever fucking seen. It’s an instant cringe whenever I see some poor soul wearing them. I get everyone wants to follow fashion, but some fashion is just straight up ugly whether it’s in or out.

      That’s almost word for word what I was thinking about low-rise jeans when they started replacing high waisted jeans. And now when high waisted jeans came back I think they look so weird.

      Depends on whether its jeans or spandex “jeans” ie jeggings.

      Getting women in spandex is always good fashion 👍

          I thought about that, but in the end, it’s worth the majority that can pull them off wearing them to endure those relative few that cannot.

            Ability to pull them off, so to speak, does not factor in to the expanding foam beast’s decision to wear them. I’d like to know where you live that curdled milk in a bag isn’t the majority of spandex wearers.

                That tracks. I live in the south. I also seem to have offended a few ham beasts. I like a girl with some heft to 'er, but if you look like you are perpetually wearing a twin sized matress under your clothes, you need to fix some shit. Not even from an attractiveness standpoint, that shit will kill you young.

      …says an overweight man in cargo pants. You miss the teenage days when you weren’t fat and ugly, and young girls in low waist pants would give you some attention. You miss those times, don’t you.
