Fashion is a weird thing - lemm.ee

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.

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.

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.
