I still have my black jeans with the fire decal going up the leg!
In every time, in every season,
You posted cringe
Prolly a boomer made this meme.
… wait no actually a jdress sounds awesome
Britney Spears pulled it off in 2001.
So what you’re saying is the comic is backwards?
No, time is cyclical. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
Comrade Spears of the Fashion Vanguard.
Woah I had no idea she was Canadian.
She’s from Louisiana, which was originally a French colony whose government was based in Quebec, soooooo this tracks.
^(He was making a Canadian Tuxedo joke)
(I know, and I was saying it tracks because of Canadian and Louisiana history.)
(ok, but why are we whispering?)
The jress
Pronounced like django.
The djress
Why was Britney Spears acquitted?
She was acting under jress.

I’m really not a fan of the high waisted era. Bring back the hipster era
I don’t disagree, but the high-waisted era works a lot better for girls with more curve to their figures, which I see as a net gain.
And considering the number of overweight/obese people continues to grow apace, it’s not a bad thing for them to be able to feel good about themselves and have fashion options that flatter their figures instead of all fashion being catered to near-impossible body types.
This should not be read as an endorsement of obesity, which can be a dangerous medical issue, but rather a willingness to see that everyone deserves to feel positive about their self image. Weight gain is a difficult issue to tackle in a country that subsidizes corn syrup and puts it in damn everything, on top of a broken education system that certainly doesn’t teach people healthy eating.
Hmm, I think the key lies in your username. Replace corn syrup with hot sauce. You can still subsidize farmers, just have them growing Carolina Reapers instead of field corn.
Peppers of all varieties are way healthier than corn, so this isn’t a shabby idea.
As someone who has PCOS belly the opposite is true. High waisted jeans are a nightmare to wear with the bloating and extra abdominal fat.
The bloating creates a different challenge from being overweight. If your waist fluctuates throughout the day, high waisted jeans become pretty uncomfortable. I’m overweight and don’t really deal with any bloating and find high waisted jeans more flattering than low-rise jeans; they also stay on better.
It’s both. I have PCOS which causes insulin resistance which leads to obesity. Separately from that, I also experience bloating as a result.
On one hand, low rise jeans were a result of the beauty ideal at the time being “heroin chic,” which was undoubtedly harmful and caused many to develop eating disorders.
On the other hand, high waisted jeans are a result of the beauty ideal now being Kim Kardashian, which is still harmful (ask all the women out there with botched Brazilian butt lifts), not the least because the Kardashians lie about their bodies being natural so they can shill useless products.
Although having a small waist is still ideal, I’m glad the window has shifted back from the time when celebrities were slammed in every magazine as fat for looking like this.
This is a high-quality comment, dingus.
Every man, woman and other deserves the chance to feel comfortable and beautiful. Just because I like and prefer something, doesn’t mean everyone or even my wife has to… I’m not Kanye West 😂
I’m not Kanye West
Ironically, probably something Kanye West would say
Obesity itself is poorly defined and the understanding of it has been determined by diet culture fads that affect the directions nutritional science goes, in a co-production feedback loop. Medicalizing adiposity is fraught with socioeconomic issues. Best to let people live and wear what they like.
I cycle, so I’m definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.
You exercise in jeans?
they probably cycle to get around, not exercise.
No, I commute in jeans. Makes it super hard to find high-waist jeans that are narrow at the bottom and also have a certain degree of elasticity, so when I find them I buy a lot.
Can I suggest wearing a WWE belt backwards?
Joking of course, wear whatever you’re comfortable in
The kids are doing 2011 again
They’re doing 2000 again.
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 .
Not only is this not true, but like others in the thread have said, the current jeans fashion is actually a callback to the 1980s.
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.
I’d we were suddenly as soon as we were

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.
Depends on whether its jeans or spandex “jeans” ie jeggings.
Getting women in spandex is always good fashion 👍
I know a few who would make you question that statement.
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.
Not OP but - California
Lotta pretty people here
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.
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.
Fashion is manipulating but some shit is just plain ugggff
…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.

I miss low-rise jeans…
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.
I miss the whale tails
It was pretty great going to high school when the interesting fashion trends were low rise jeans and thongs. I mean, the rest of high school was awful, but at least there were whale tails.
I dunno man, I had a pretty baller time watching mst3k and having huge LAN parties every weekend.
A man of class. Keep circulating the tapes.
So much crack in the streets!
Said no woman ever
I’m sure there are plenty that would love to see a guy with nice Adonis belt in some low rise jeans.
The problem with that is you can’t rely on the old trusty tuck into the belt, because well, the belt is a lot lower…
Aww, he just wants a look!
It’s more like a periscope
There would be fat guys with plumber’s crack too
Haven’t low waist pants been having a major comeback for a while now?
Yes, whoever made this is a full decade behind fashion in every panel lol
They have.
Correct. Along with crop tops. Because it’s the era of paying more for less in everything, even clothing materials.
Well this is one short term effect of our system that I can get behind for now :D
I also love me some toned abs. The guys in my skate park wears crop tops and sometimes I just sit on the ground eating cherries.

Yeah you can tell that this is a place full of coders. People talking about trends from the 80s being current and 90s arriving, when 00s has been back for a while already.
I was thrilled to pull my overly baggy skater clothes out again (then decide they definitely look bad and put them back).
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…
The future is now.
