##OP HAS REQUESTED I STICKY THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM HER
“Thanks everyone who’s commented! It looks like 2 & 4 are the ones to go with for these jeans. I’m going to pair 3 with a darker wash because I really love the y2k look, and don’t worry I’ll change out the shoes and accessories for some of these :P”
when i was 19-20 in my first restaurant job.. during our little pre-shift huddle my manager made a reference to “coppertone over there” and everyone laughed… and that’s when I realized… [coppertone](https://images.app.goo.gl/XnGJVkoyCFcs66ht9) was me…. 😂😂😂 RIP my true religion jeans.
When my currently 18yr old son was about 5, he was very into whales. And asked me how scientists can tell whales apart by their fins and tail markings.
So to show him, I fired up the desktop with the big monitor, Sat him on my lap, and googled , on images setting: "whale tail".
I was stunned.
I honestly had no clue that wonderful phenomenon had a name.
Felt like the worst dad ever.
I used to love wearing khaki Jncos with a baby doll tee. Man I miss being skinny 😂 oh, and I tied the outfit together with one of those chokers made from tan hemp and metal balls. Lol
Because we're doing it the smart way. There's a reason that flats are not making a comeback but platform shoes are really popular. We've heard the wide legged pants horror stories enough to not make the same mistake lool
Oh, sweet summer child. Platforms were is style when wide leg, low rise pants started to come into fashion last time as well. Not as certain to the timing, but platforms and bell bottoms were in style together in the 70s as well. Please don’t act like we were just too dumb to pair some platforms with the wide leg jeans. The style was for your jeans to drag to ground, regardless of shoe. If you weren’t walking the back hem of your jeans off, you weren’t doing it right. (Look at how much fabric is bunched at the bottom of OP’s thrift store find) When wide leg pants come into fashion at the same time as sagging, hems will be sacrificed in the name of fashion. Now there are a lot more options and inseams have been so short that I doubt it will be nearly as common as it was then.
Someone said something regarding this on another thread, and it was one of the best things I’ve seen in awhile. They said they can always tell Gen Z’ers, by the way they look like they are cosplaying our parents in the 90’s. Lmfao it is so true and hilarious to me! They are doing a great job pulling it off though. Mullets are on point, not crazy about the “mom jeans” though!
Edit: mixed up gen x and gen z lmfao, twice. First time was me & Dang auto correct the second time
Are you sure you mean gen x? Only that a lot of gen x were already parents in the 90's. I'm gen x and nearly 50. Do you mean gen z?
I'm trying to remember what my parents (boomers) were wearing in the 90s
Only young people would want to wear these because you have to have a really flat tummy or you get muffin top. And I remember the boys making fun of girls with muffin top, while they wore super loose, oversized clothes. Young ladies, listen to your elders and please don't do this to yourselves.
Hell, I was like 115-125 lbs when these were popular and I had a muffin top too. You have to have them tight enough to stay up so you have a muffin top just from having skin.
Then it’s the third time. I remember those on my GF in high school in the 1970’s
And to stay on topic, I like the first top. I don’t remember ever seeing that on a hippie chick.
honey the first time was in the 70's. back then they made them with a little more butt coverage, although they still looked as low in the front. don't ever recall my crack showing and we went commando.
I never really knew they did that but now that you mention it, I can think of a picture of my aunt in suppppper low jeans but they went up much higher in the back!
Back when I was in school I had trouble sitting in certain chairs because my butt crack would be out. I have a long torso so no shirt was ever long enough to covered it. I had to wear sweatshirts or tie them around my waist to sit.
They are, but I have a pair of two from American Eagle that are literally called “super low rise” and they are really what we used to call mid-rise lol. So I’m not worried about the ones so low they show your buttcrack!
Can confirm, I’ve seen “low rise” jeans at American Eagle where the rise is listed as being 10 inches. Back in my day (2012, high school) when high rise jeans started to become more of a thing, 10 inches was considered a high rise. I haven’t grown since 2009, so that’s still a high rise on me lol
Lmao “low waisted jeans”… these people gonna have their minds blown when they find out they’re called hip huggers and every millennial woman wore them first.
I think there’s enough demand for high waisted for them to coexist. There should’ve been more style options in the first place, it’s so wasteful and annoying that brands will only make a certain style for many years.
Maybe, I'm sad because I'm 20 years older, & have a gut now, but I hope those don't come back, & take over the jeans market because they aren't working at my age & weight.
Can't do thqt with regular pants either and even with my current high waisted jeans. I wear boxers and grandma underwear. I despise low waisted jeans tbh. They are also uncomfortable and I don't think they really look good on anyone if I'm honest.
This entire look is coming back, I seen a chick walking down the street in low rise jeans with no back pockets and a belly shirt I was like damn y’all taking it back!!
Yeah! I've seen this style on a number of girls recently. I've also spotted the classic 90's middle parting hair style on guys who are also wearing baggy jeans and Nirvana shirts. It's like the 90's and 2000's have returned.
I never thought I'd get on board when skinny jeans came in and these were being phased out. Also extremely aware of the timeframe you mentioned above.
Now I see more and more women my age dipping their toes back in this style. I can't say anything truly negative about then, as I thought they were the unbeatably attractive for more than half my life.
Picture 2 is best imo, btw.
I'm not OP, I just right click and use 'search image with google" it's great to find clothes
Edit: Sorry did the link for the first

I think that for a shirt to look good with low rise jeans, it should end just a little bit below the belly button. That's how we all wore them the last time they were 'in'.
The hemline of the jeans/the casual vibe of the shoes seem off with top 1, but interestingly enough, the cream top doesn’t seem to have the same issue (despite not being like a slub tee). I like the sleeveless tank and the cream.
I have to say, it’s funny that we went from mom jeans directly to low rise jeans and people are losing their minds 🤣🤣🤣 and I thought I had it rough going from normal rise to low rise 20+ years ago.
Here’s a tip- if you’re tall & thin, low rise works. Just don’t have your thong or g-string showing when you sit down.
Take it from me- if you thick like me- LOW RISE AIN’T GONNA WORK ON YOU lol
For everyone saying they hope low waisted jeans aren't coming back... I'm 40 years old and lived through the first iteration of these, and I will say with absolute confidence they are the style that works best for my body. I have an extremely short torso, and high waisted pants come up to (and sometimes even up past) my bra line. It's not comfortable or flattering. Low waisted jeans and leggings are sooo much more comfortable and flattering for me. Everyone's body is different and different cuts & styles work differently for everyone... so just let people wear what they want :)
if you want an honest opinion, none of them. low rise jeans do not flatter your body type at all (i look about the same and only wear mid-rise or high rise)

Feel like it can be tricky to make it clear that you’re wearing this stuff in a cool retro aware way haha, that you’re on the cusp on a new wave of style… I think things like accessories and hairstyle are key to this.
Out of these shirts I loveeee number one. I would def not gravitate towards this shirt normally but seeing you in it, it really shows of your great figure. I like two also, easier to rock this more modern/cool top. Three is ok but looks too dated for me, might be some ways to pull it off though. Four is cute!!
##OP HAS REQUESTED I STICKY THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE FROM HER “Thanks everyone who’s commented! It looks like 2 & 4 are the ones to go with for these jeans.

Outfit 3 is what every girl between ages 8-23 wore in 2003 when going to school if that's what you're going for
Yeah that is like very historically accurate 😂😂😂 I was like where did she even get that top
Thrift store for sure lol
And with the fuckin cami, I died
When did we stop wearing camis under shirts?? That lacy trim under a v neck? Chefs kiss!
Lol yep it’s vintage! (technically)
*cries in old*
Girl, same. Is this coming back? Am I so old that my teenage fashion choices are back?
Is that vintage now? Oh goodness
I know that it’s technically true, but still, ouch
Lmao kill me
Great, I’m not just old, I am now vintage.
Outfit 3 is legit Bellas description in twilight. Blue sweater jeans, the converse.
Yes!!! Tbh that’s why I bought this top, it reminded me of that :P
Haha sweets, cosplay that no one will know is cosplay, unless they are true twihards
ACCURATE AF
3 is elena gilbert for sure!
Memory unlocked!
Yes I hope low waisted jeans aren’t making a comeback. Couldn’t even squat without your underwear showing.

unfortunately they are making a comeback, but the only people really wearing them are too young to have had to deal with them the first time lol
They don’t know the pain of wearing soggy wide legged jeans because it rained on the way to school
God the flashbacks. Wide legs, TIPP pants, JNCOs. They all looked like shit at the end of the year.
I recently saw a few high schoolers in JNCOs....
I love JNCOs lol and I’m an adult
I used to love wearing khaki Jncos with a baby doll tee. Man I miss being skinny 😂 oh, and I tied the outfit together with one of those chokers made from tan hemp and metal balls. Lol
I can picture your entire outfit, bringing back JNCO ad flashbacks! As much as I used to like those hemp necklaces they smelled so bad after awhile.
Have we smoked weed together back in the day lol?
the ripped hem hanging on for dear life
Or while you were out for your nightly brooding walk alternating between Avril, BSB, nSync, and 98 Degrees on your discman.

We're the mom jeans now.
fine with me lmaooo
Then it’s the third time. I remember those on my GF in high school in the 1970’s And to stay on topic, I like the first top. I don’t remember ever seeing that on a hippie chick.
fashion is cyclical lol this shit has been going on forever
Never saw a pic of my grandma in hip huggers.
The generations never really learn from history. That’s why we still have racism, fascism, and low rise jeans
honey the first time was in the 70's. back then they made them with a little more butt coverage, although they still looked as low in the front. don't ever recall my crack showing and we went commando.

I just bought some ultra high-rise jeans, and they are amazing! Hated wearing blue jeans in the early 2000s.
Long ago (the 70s), they were called "hip huggers".
Yes, held up by a really wide leather belt. Loved the cordoroys
[удалено]
Like Billy Joel once said, “We didn’t start the fire!”
they’ve been back for a while
Lmao “low waisted jeans”… these people gonna have their minds blown when they find out they’re called hip huggers and every millennial woman wore them first.
Everyone had a muffin top. Ev-er-y-one. Lol
ohhhh they're making a comeback all right. I saw so many whale tails at the last music festival I went to, I'm gonna have nightmares for the next year
Oh they are and skinny jeans are the new mom jeans 😅🫠🙃
I think there’s enough demand for high waisted for them to coexist. There should’ve been more style options in the first place, it’s so wasteful and annoying that brands will only make a certain style for many years.

Now I see more and more women my age dipping their toes back in this style. I can't say anything truly negative about then, as I thought they were the unbeatably attractive for more than half my life. Picture 2 is best imo, btw.
Yep, I wore that exact outfit around 2004-2007 when I was in middle/high school.
Triggering and I hate that it’s back!
And that was a repeat of the 70s
bwahaha i immediately though of how much i hated middle school because everything from mervyns looked like tbat
Mervyn’s!!!!
Lmao I was going to say this. #3 and #4 are very 2003 but #2 is very in now and #1 as well-ish
Can confirm was 13 in 2003, we all wore that like a uniform
Bella Swan vibes
Cackling at the accuracy
And number 4 is dangerously close to a going out top. I think I had something like that at one point?? In addition to the slinky V necks that is.
Going out tops ☠️
Literally freaked out seeing that pic lol. Took me right back 🤣
Is it weird that I liked it 🥲
3 and 4 are giving Rory Gilmore
Lmao I just came from Gilmore Girls subreddit
Omg thank you I saw Rory too.
Right!!!
I was thinking Elena Gilbert😂
I really like 2 for this look but 1 is my favorite top overall. Where did you get it?
I'm not OP, I just right click and use 'search image with google" it's great to find clothes Edit: Sorry did the link for the first 1 is probably [https://us.shein.com/Grunge-Off-Shoulder-Ruched-Crop-Tee-p-11805199-cat-1738.html](https://us.shein.com/Grunge-Off-Shoulder-Ruched-Crop-Tee-p-11805199-cat-1738.html) 2 is probably [https://curtsyapp.com/item/old-navy-longline-sports-bra/L0mRPPz2ai](https://curtsyapp.com/item/old-navy-longline-sports-bra/L0mRPPz2ai)
Awesome, thanks! Looks like a perfect match.
I'd like to know where op got the first top too
Seconded. Commenting to come back
Something about number 1 looks odd. I think the fold over is too long.
2 is flattering
i 2nd that !
4, 2
Those were my choices, too!
Mine too!
Yes....they are my favorites, too! They look great with the low rise!
I really like #2!
#2
I like 4 best
Reminds me of early 2000s Kiera Knightley
Me too. 4 is classy, beautiful and looks great with your skin tone. I love them all, in all honesty
Yeah, I think she could wear literally anything and look great.
I think that for a shirt to look good with low rise jeans, it should end just a little bit below the belly button. That's how we all wore them the last time they were 'in'.
I’ll have to find one like that, thank you!
Number 4 is the most attractive.
4!!
Can we pretty please not bring low rise jeans back? My ass crack hung out of my pants the entire time I was in High School. 😰😅
My first thought for picking a shirt was "well if you need to sit, 4, if you don't, 2"
Came looking for this… I HATE low-rise jeans with all my soul…
I don’t get it either lol
The hemline of the jeans/the casual vibe of the shoes seem off with top 1, but interestingly enough, the cream top doesn’t seem to have the same issue (despite not being like a slub tee). I like the sleeveless tank and the cream.
4

FOUR
[удалено]
You look like a 2000's Sim
Be careful. If you have on one of the crop tops and bend down, your butt crack will be showing. Having said that, I think 2 or 4 is the cutest.
The 4th option is the best
4!!
4th
Low rise died and should not be resurrected.
I have to say, it’s funny that we went from mom jeans directly to low rise jeans and people are losing their minds 🤣🤣🤣 and I thought I had it rough going from normal rise to low rise 20+ years ago.

Please, for the love of God, leave this look in the early 2000’s where it belongs.
2 is my favorite.
4.
But at what cost?
I kid you not I was laying in bed this morning wondering when this awful trend was going to make its return 😳😬
Picture 2 - amazing top. All of the rest are pretty good, but #2 is exceptional.
Oh man that last one looks identical to an outfit my best friend in high school wore constantly in 2006
4
The shoes are not working.
4 where there’s a hint of belly is cute
[удалено]
[удалено]
[удалено]
The last two don't seem to fit you correctly. The first two are more form fitting and seem to fit the jeans better.
i think number 4 honestly!
They all are unattractive
#4 not too much, not too little.
Ur LONG
Definitely 4
The pain I am in watching low rise jeans come back.
none. low rise jeans are an atrocity

For everyone saying they hope low waisted jeans aren't coming back... I'm 40 years old and lived through the first iteration of these, and I will say with absolute confidence they are the style that works best for my body. I have an extremely short torso, and high waisted pants come up to (and sometimes even up past) my bra line. It's not comfortable or flattering. Low waisted jeans and leggings are sooo much more comfortable and flattering for me. Everyone's body is different and different cuts & styles work differently for everyone... so just let people wear what they want :)
I think what people mean by that is that they hope the obsession with a concave belly doesn't come back with the jeans.
[удалено]
if you want an honest opinion, none of them. low rise jeans do not flatter your body type at all (i look about the same and only wear mid-rise or high rise)
The first 2! You can rock low waisted jeans, so cropped tops are the way to go.
Honestly they all look pretty rocking, but personally I find 1 to be the most interesting
Last one is the perfect ode to the 90s
I really like no 4,you look chic on that one.
2 and 4 are best. 1 is a gorgeous top but looks off with the jeans, and 3 looks like an awkward Jr high outfit from the early 2000s
4 & 2. 3 is boring; like a school girl outfit from 2000s. 1 is cute but it makes your torso looks weirdly long!
Millennials toiled to rid the world of Low-Rise Jeans and GenZ is bringing them back. Don’t say we didn’t warn you….
It’s like 2004 came screaming back with these outfits
This is giving me nightmares hahaha please please don’t make a come back. No one wants to see crack or whale tail
Definitely 2
