Called high waist jeans/pants. Personally not a fan of it at all on anyone, and really doesn't work on my body shape at all, makes my butt look smaller when its not small lol 😐. Always has to be below my belly button unless its a skirt.
Some people wear it because it can be a life saver for tummy fat and keeping things looking more lean. And its completely in style right now. They sell that shit everywhere 😑20 Reply

I have a legitimate excuse!!! I'm only 5 feet ! Clothing designers don't take into consideration that there are some very short people in the world. So I can either pull my pants up to my belly button or wear them around my waist where they belong, causing extra baggage in the pelvic are which gives the illusion that I have a penis.

Lets put it this way... I'm about 5 foot 7 in height and have long legs... The purpose of high waste pants is to underline that or if you're small to make you look taller so.. that's probably why... Hope it helps...

+1 yDepends on her style. Can be to hold the hourglass shape. It defines the small waist, butt and gives the illusion of longer legs :)

+1 ylol its the style! It makes it look less slutty when you wear crop tops
12 Reply- +1 y
well i mean i own a pair and yes, I've worn a crop top. But i wouldn't say its my entire wardrobe lol
They were told it was fashionable and that it looked good by someone that wanted to sell them shit. They don't have enough common sense to realize they look foolish.
40 ReplyI'm short and have thick legs, so they're usually long. And they tend to slip down so I wear it high up
10 Replyit's just a terrible fashion trend. There's this idea that it makes their legs look longer, but it doesn't do that at all. it just looks like they have a misshapen torso and a big wedgie.
40 ReplyBecause, for some strange reason, a lot of people follow fashion trends instead of what they truly think looks good on them. Various sources in the fashion industry will change things up each decade to keep people buying their products. The bright side is that everyone can joke about how ridiculous these belly button high bottoms look in 10 years : )
10 ReplyIt's a style of clothing, you can either have high rise or low rise pants, it's just a preference.

It makes your stomach flatter and your legs look longer. Also, you don't have to worry about your underwear showing if you bend over.
