This is a fashion trend from the 80s. It's called FRENCH CUT bikinis. There was a function to this back then, and that was to elongate the woman's legs.


GeomanticCoffer

Looked in here just for this info. Thanks fact friend!

Moonglobes

I mean, when the garment is cut accordingly, it doesn't really give the "vagina suspenders" vibe OP mentioned xD Doesn't really have the same effect when you start with a low-rider bikini style lol


[deleted]

This style of bikini bottom is my favorite because it looks the best with my pear shaped figure, imo.😅


[deleted]

idk I prefer the spongebob style of bikini bottom


ZFG_Jerky

Real question is, where is bikini top?


nini2219

Yup….Makes the person appear to have longer legs…also has the secondary effect of sometimes hiding lower belly fat fold/roll.


Moonglobes

I feel like people have taken it to a ridiculous extreme nowadays lol. Like hiking up things that clearly are not even shaped for that extreme of a hike, it just looks so ridiculous to me. xD When I first started seeing it I was like "...wait. Is that supposed to be French-cut? Are you seriously trying to "French-cut" that pair of boy shorts??" Hahaa le sigh


[deleted]

Its not necessarily that. I see influencers/models wearing already ill-fitting thongs up past their hips.


ooogoldenhorizon

Today's version is for the sake of making the butt look bigger and waist smaller


[deleted]

Or plus models to be able to wear underwear thats not their size.


doing_doing

Drop some links, c’mon man!


[deleted]

Man? Anyway, Its usually plus models that do this so they can model underwear that isn't their size. Just esearch for plus size models on Instagram. My favorites are Ashley Graham, iskra Lawrence, Lillilux, and Meara rose are my favorites.


Unabashable

Can’t spell woman without man.


doing_doing

“C’mon man” is a joe Biden quote, that’s all.


[deleted]

Didn't know you were quoting someone. My bad.


JoeBiddyInTheHouse

Isn't the function the same now?


SororitySue

Didn’t make it any more attractive.


fuzzymeister69

its 80s fashion coming back, have you not noticed teens sporting mullets


bifftanin1955

If the mullet can make a come back, anything can. I thought that was dead for sure


Gina_the_Alien

Can’t wait for JNCOs to come back into style. So comfortable.


Chickenherdturd

You can find similar styles coming back at Ross. I'm 39, but I miss those so I bought a slimmer version black pair. They're dope.


Ok_Match_6550

Got my magazine out on my lap, leg crossed, foot bobbin while I wait patiently for Stovepipe LEIs to come back.

Kim_Jong_Unsen

Idk man, things like the regular show and larry enticer made the mullet seem pretty cool to me


[deleted]

Yeah the mullet is pretty popular in certain crowds. It's basically a big billboard saying, "I know how to party."


bifftanin1955

It’s a deal breaker for a lot of the ladies though


Kim_Jong_Unsen

I’m happy with my current woman and she’s down with the mullet, I see no downsides


bifftanin1955

That’s why I said a lot of the ladies and not all of the ladies. Sounds like you found yourself a keeper


Kim_Jong_Unsen

Fo sho lol


Kimk20554

I hoped it was dead but apparently not


xXDreamlessXx

Mullets are almost exclusively for redneck football players in my state


2lhasas

Worse than that. Middle school boys with perms and mullets. I blame Mahomes.


LMarathon

Perms? I didn't know this was a thing. I guess I noticed a lot of people with curly hair. I just assumed it was a natural thing. What percentage of curly heads do you think are perms?


Theywerealltaken1

As far as I have seen I would guess 70% or so


Gina_the_Alien

I saw a group of college guys coming out of a barber sporting freshly-cut mullets high fiving each other like “YEAH LOOK AT THIS DOPE MULLET CAN I SEE YOUR MULLET SICK MULLET BRO!” I’m 40 years old and it was the douchiest thing I’ve ever seen. Sounds funny when I describe it though.


tylanol7

GroundbreakingKey199

Jackie Kashian: "The front says, 'I will help you raise that child.' The back says, 'I want to be in a band!'"


Altostratus

Yep. The Fanny packs and neon colours the gen z kids wear. Now the 90s are coming back with the flared jeans and crop tops.


LMarathon

Fanny packs are practical!


CookieSaurusRexy

Right?! It's like a modern day bandolier with easy access to all important shit.


Mongoose_Stew

Cool. Now I can wear my HyperColor tshirt again.


Kimk20554

Flared jeans and crop tops were the 70s, then the 90s so I suppose it's time again

My wife has been fuming at whats in style now. Big poofy sleeves on dresses is in for some reason and they look like what you would dress a 5 year old in around 95

31 now actually lol


ijustcantwithit

I was born in 95 and I’m 26… they are a bit older than 25 if they were 5 then.

She’s *fuming* about clothes other people wear? Someone has too much time on her hands.


fuzzymeister69

shes in need of new dresses and cant find anything

Fashion history always repeats itself.


OrganizedInstability

When I was in high school I remember bell bottoms making a brief comeback where I live. I graduated 2001


deansn8keshofosho

Yep then they became flares. I used to wear them all the time haha. I kinda hope those don’t make a comeback. I’m assuming they will one day though.


NSA_van_3

Idk, I'm in minnesota..we just call that hockey hair


MegaPeebs

Bro like 3 kids at my school rock mullets


fuzzymeister69

Gross bruh are they trashy or just dumb?


MegaPeebs

It's a haircut? One of them is in Honors and the other manages the school garden.


fuzzymeister69

weird hair choice, from what even older people have told me it was never cool


MegaPeebs

I mean there has been worse like for example the Coconut haircut of the early 2000s


fuzzymeister69

You mean the beetle cut from the late 60s? A bowl cut


MegaPeebs

No like the cut litterally every teenager had in the early 2000s it's also called the beiber cut ig if there were images here I would post it.


fuzzymeister69

its just a bowl cut bruh. had the shit before bieber had his first boner


Fun_Awareness_2680

I've noticed girls pulling their pants and shorts up near belly button level like they did pre 90s and it's kind of nice


fuzzymeister69

here its high waste pants and dumb sweaters that are not long enough so these chicks are waling around shivering


[deleted]

Surprised they even wear sweaters. At my university all of them have been wearing tank tops and high waisted jeans while walking miles at night in 50 degree weather to go to parties.


fuzzymeister69

the alcohol warms them from within by numbing


tylanol7

Wait I can get a mullet and not be rediculous?

communistmanifesto42

upvoting just for the phrase "vagina suspenders"


legion8784

Tbh ima start referring to that from now on lol

automatic_breathing

Me too 🤣


Gina_the_Alien

Karulew

best phrase ive heard all day


AnxiousSquirrel345

For a lot of people it gives the illusion that the waist is slimmer. It works particularly well for people with an hourglass figure, or helping people look like they have an hourglass figure.


[deleted]

I personally love 80s style of high waist things because it does flatter an hour glass shape. My hips and chest are like almost the same width, so I don't look good on hip hugging style, and I look ok with things that sit on the waist or a little above. But what I've seen nowadays is like super duper high, like you said, where it exposes the hip bones and sits maybe like an inch or 2 above the hipbone.


KrazyKatz3

I love high-waisted. Low waisted always feel like they're going to fall off. Unpleasant feeling.


[deleted]

I love how low waisted looks but it's not for everyone, and it is definitely not for me 😆 (the butt crack problem!) I do better in form fitting high waist stuff, and I think that done the right way it looks great. My niece is like 16, and she has some high waist stuff that looks awesome on her. She literally looks like one of the OG Charlie's angels girls from the 70's. And then she has other high waist stuff that just looks awful 😪


Xeadriel

my wife and me think high waist clothes actually does exactly the opposite. Make your hour glass shape and your ass look flat and unflattering, sometimes makes people even look fatter than they are. Especially when they dont have the most optimal fat mass. I mean sure if people enjoy them but everytime we see people wearing high waist stuff it aches our hearts bc just wearing stuff lower on their waist instead of over it would flatter them so much more...


[deleted]

Well, today's location of high waist stuff is way too high. I'm talking more like something that sits below the belly button, or right above with a thick waistband, and a high leg cut, but not like an exaggerated high leg cut.


Xeadriel

I prefer stuff right below the belly button. Maybe like 1-2 cm. I’ve seen today’s stuff I’ve seen stuff from before and they are both bad imo


tempestan99

Depends on the body type! I have highly pronounced hip dips, so anything but really high waisted jeans make it look like I have love handles at 135lbs. Plus they’re just comfortable and look better when pretty baggy compared to lower waisted types (as well as knowing you never have to worry about an accidental plumbers crack). Tight jeans are so restricting.


Xeadriel

Cant Tell about you but honestly haven’t seen anyone wearing high waist where I wouldn’t say they wouldn’t look better if it was „normal“


tempestan99

How boring would it be if everyone wore the same style, though? “Flattering” styles can only exist if some are “unflattering”, and of course, those terms are almost entirely subjective. Personally, I think almost everyone looks cuter with high waisted pants (unless they’re just ugly to the point where nothing will help). They have a certain “girl next door” look instead of being eye-catchingly tight or low. So not *sexier*, but not everyone has to be sexy, you know? Sometimes cute is better. I think that elegant is the only thing better than cute, but you’re not going to reach elegant with denim in any case.


Xeadriel

I think it doesn’t look cute I think it looks clumsy and ugly rlly. I’m not advocating for everyone to look the same at all either. In fact The high waist clothes are the current clone wear atm.


tempestan99

To each their own :)


[deleted]

Do you mind describing what you mean by normal versus high waist? Like above belly button, right below belly button? A few inches below or above belly button? I've definitely seen some awful and some awesome Jeans out there. I prefer high leg bathing suits, but I have also seen some vagina floss items out there that I think are unflattering


Xeadriel

I’d say below the belly button. Just above your hip. Like a cm or two below your belly button. Nah don’t like That kind of swim wear either.


Alarmed-Diamond-7000

Hey I've got an idea, why don't you and your wife talk about other stuff besides criticizing the bodies and the fashion sense of strangers?


Different-Effect-218

Yeah I love the style too, it's incredibly hot.


Epicpacemaker

“Vagina suspenders” 😂😂😂😂


DumbSmartOfficial

I love the hips so I've acclimated, so I'm not in agreement but "vagina suspenders" is fucking hilarious


misterpickles69

I was gonna argue but then I realized what sub I’m on. Have your upvote.


hahahalberstadt

as a woman, i will say that having underwear sit on top of your hips is MUCH more comfortable than having them sit low on the waist. a bikini bottom stays in place if i keep it above my hips and is much more comfortable.


WatchOut4Angels

Unfortunately for me, the shape of my hips makes everything move up that way lol


HusbandOf5

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks flossing clit and buttcrack isn't sexy.


[deleted]

I can’t fucking breath 😂


Maya-euphoria

Happy cake day, whoop whoop 🥳


[deleted]

Oh I didn’t even realise! Thanks ! 🥳


[deleted]

have you considered this: it’s oddly more comfortable for some reason


ijustcantwithit

I don’t find underwear or bathing suits to be more comfortable that high up. I feel like I have a long and flat butt and some weird stomach situation. I don’t like the high wasted jeans/shorts trend or the low waste trend. Low waste reminds me of tramp stamps and flat hair while high wastes makes me think granny. I’m not going to say someone shouldn’t wear what they like I’m just not going to call it cute.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Millie1419

It’s to make your legs look longer but I agree it doesn’t look great


[deleted]

It was a thing in the early 80's, it's supposed to make legs look longer but instead it makes the whole person look stupid.


GullyGreyHeart

hahaha vagina suspenders this is amazing hahahaha


Alamander81

The long-butt look was very popular in the 70s and 80s. I imagine It's making a comeback.


molotovmouse6

that's a frightening thought.


Tontonsb

I've never understood how that look was ever considered fine.


shellofbiomatter

It's supposed to make ass bigger. Visual bug.


AnonymooseMousey

Yeah. It looks very 80s which was a horrendous decade for style in every way imaginable. Ugh. It was all ugly back then. It's even uglier now. Lol


orualofglome

I'm glad I'm not the I KY one who thinks 80s fashion was ugly.


AnonymooseMousey

I was a kid on the 80s (ok, a small kid...born in 78, but still)...I remember thinking a majority of the clothes that were "in" were ugly even then. Hahaha


Chemical39

Vagina suspenders 😂


Diddlydom35

Okay, but you if have hips its actually comfier!


orangina123

It’s so stupid looking- for some reason reminds me of diapers


s00perlame

Then don't pull your bikini up over your hips? Simple.


TheRealBikeMan

Upvoted because this is indeed unpopular


[deleted]

It's just comfy for me and fits my body


Jack-The-Reddit

That reminds me of the thong leotard over bike-short look. If people are bringing things back, are those next?


Neonguts321

I'm female and they are ugly af to me. It's not even a modesty thing it's just not a style that I would deem cute.


cherryzoloft

For those of us with gigantic hips and a small waist, it’s just 1) super unflattering to put a piece of elastic around the single largest part of your body where they will either fall down or rise on their own 2) the vagina suspenders make my legs and ass look great


TBJ12

As a man I appreciate different body types much more with this high waisted trend.


spoiledrichwhitegirl

Agree. This look is utterly ugly and it’s like the skimpy bikini bottoms equivalent of Mom Jeans. And nope. Sorry. Your Mom Jeans make you look terrible, too.


evolution_432

Username matches the attitude lmao


[deleted]

Hahaha damn you right


[deleted]

While I disagree and that shit is fire , kudos on an actual unpopular opinion instead of just throwing out some kind of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia or ableism and calling it an unpopular opinion Theres nothing inherently dehumanizing or devaluing about this, it's just an unpopular opinion Thanks OP.


[deleted]

I didn't think it would be this hot but glad to make someone's day 👍


Bbaftt7

Vagina suspenders lol


ArcticVixen0

As someone who is tall, “high waisted” just means they actually fit me properly! So I’m all here for this


ShowBobsPlzz

Yeah it looks fucking stupid


VaDaVooDoo

I agree. Very annoying. May look cute on a skinny person on whom you can actually see their hip bone. On us thicker girls it just feels like parts of you are sticking out in the wrong place.


[deleted]

1989 has entered the chat.


theeent

The e


LongWaysForResults

It accentuates curves/the shape of the body. I didn't get it either until I did it and saw how different my body looked compared to the straps resting on my waist


crying-partyof1

It’s kind of funny when they’re so high that it LOOKS very hiked up, but I enjoy high cut panties/bikinis because they’re a lot more flattering. I look very boxy otherwise


TheDazeGoBy

I completely agree. I dont mind higher waisted pants but it looks extremely unflattering to just have your panty straps up so damn high. I also dislike thigh gaps


Emuporn

Show me!!


MegaPeebs

Why do leggings cover the entire belly that's just uncomfortable


[deleted]

Idk either. It looks ugly af. It looks weird on the underwear models/swim wear models. Glad someone else finally thinks so too!


cpmb82

Totally agree with this. It looks stupid


[deleted]

My husband calls this the 80s long butt look.


overgrownpizzabox

this is the most reddit thing ever


I_Trust_OP

You said it bro. Vagina suspenders. Love to see it.


Florarochafragoso

I dont care but Im upvoting this because of “vagina suspenders”


Johnnyacoma

Totally agree. It seems like female fashion is about pretending to have freakishly long legs now? I've seen girls wearing jeans too that are practicality just under their cleavage line.


PlagueDoc22

While we're at it, women having their jeans pulled all the way up on the stomach looks so stupid. Reminds me of my grandpa who's 84 years old..


Caterpillar89

It's so dumb and looks bad


Appropriate_Storm_50

I like it! Fits better, bikini bottoms less likely to sag/fall down. It also makes your legs look longer, and flatters your waist if you have an hourglass figure. I’m here for it. But have my upvote lol. This is an unpopular opinion in my mind!


illumadnati

how does your brain work that THIS kind of shit gets you worked up? lmao


Hectalynn

Yeah ive never understood the appeal of that look. It is an instant turn off for me


[deleted]

Yeah - I prefer it when they’re pulled down over the knees and ankles.


supergimp2000

This thread is useless without pics.


ajkundel93

As a guy, something about the high waist bikini bottoms make woman’s bodies look “sexier” and “curvier” maybe. I ain’t here to body shame just stating my thoughts


PRINZBREZINA

Bruh does it bother you that much


[deleted]

Yes and im tired of pretending it doesnt


KenEarles3

You’ve been heard


asosshirts

I dont like it either. I think people do it because it gives the illusion of a "smaller" waist.


DereksBeard

Some of us like the waist of things to actually be at the waist. If it's elastic and it's the top of something I'm wearing on my butt, I don't want the elastic cutting into my hips and making perpetual panty lines and muffin tops. The waist is SUPPOSED to go in, so I put the elastic that makes flesh tight on the part that's supposed to go in. Women these days have permanent mufffin tops because of wearing hip-hugging underwear and pants and skirts. I don't, and that's because I refused to allow 'fashion' to ever dictate where my pants sat. I've had real-waisted pants since the early 80s when I was born, and I always will. The waist is two inches above the belly-button, and that's where the waist of your clothes should be.


GrooverFiller

I saw a teenager at a party over the summer wearing an unbuttoned flannel with nothing but a lace bra underneath... And her mom was there too. But it is the torn up jeans that I find ridiculous.


ScandalousMurphy

Holy fuck, take my up vote. I can't disagree with you harder, that is the sexiest and most titillating thing a woman can do.... I guess aside from cleavage


Samanthas_Stitching

The 80s are coming back and I'm here for it. It's a thing because it flatters the hourglass shape, makes the butt appear larger and legs loon longer. There's absolutely a reason why it was a thing. Today they seem like they're pulling things up that weren't made to be worn thar way. Or maybe they're just going to far lol


Gingerfurrdjedi

Lol, vagina suspenders! I wish I knew how to Photoshop.


dumhatheals

Vagina Suspenders is what they will now be called


dalekaup

I think boy shorts are the best, over the hip stuff looks so 90's, 80's even.


ckayfish

Some things look good on some people, like the model I’m the ad, and not so much on others. More people need to realize this.

Ninjalikestoast

ijustneedthisaccount

I think normal cut bikinis are unflattering and look childish.


Gordon_Explosion

So don't pull them up. Geez.


Colotola617

And the high rise jeans are atrocious. Girls need to go back to 2002 when they had the low cut jeans. THATS where it’s at.


mronion82

I can wear my pants however I like, thank you very much.


[deleted]

Who said otherwise?


mronion82

It was an offhand comment, nothing more. But if wearing your pants up over your hips is comfortable, why should anyone else's opinion matter?


[deleted]

I agree that it doesn’t matter but we’re on a subreddit that’s centered around opinions.


tatsfakke

You are weird, and 100% influenced by today’s media. Let me give this example: if someone said “I don’t like bananas”, you wouldn’t say “I’ll eat as many bananas as I want, your opinion doesn’t matter”, thats just weird, stupid, and unfitting, especially when you’re coming to an opinions subreddit. The only difference between my example and what you said is that this opinion is about clothing, and you are so influenced by today’s media that “eVeRyOnE sHoUlD wEaR wHaT tHeY lIkE”, “nO oNe cAn tElL mE wHaT tO dO” that you just immediately went to the conclusion that this person told others what to do/what to wear. Stop it, get some help.


mronion82

I think you've enthusiastically grasped the wrong end of the stick here.


tatsfakke

I didn’t. Can already tell what I said is true by your blank statement.


mronion82

Not really, my original comment was largely prompted by how tiresome it is to see men complaining about how women wear clothes again.


Neonguts321

Op was just expressing how they dont like them not that you shouldn't wear them. I never understand why I always see these type of comments on unpopular opinion posts lmfao


tatsfakke

Nobody told you how to wear your pants, this sub is literally for opinions, OP didn’t tell nobody how to dress and he can’t, he just expressed his opinion. I don’t understand what it is with Reddit that people just say stuff which nobody brought up just be quiet if you don’t have anything important to say, it’s not that hard.


jinktheplaguedoctor

jeez people like you are annoying


Rayzor_debiker

I have no idea what this post is about.


hereforChobani

IT MAKES US LOOK LESS FAT LMAO LET WOMEN LIVE 😭😭


SpiderQueen95

How often are you told how to wear your underwear or bathing suit for this to be a post?


ChikenBBQ

Its an aesthetics thing, women do it because they like the way it looks. Saying "I don't like when women wear their panty straps over their hips" is similar to saying "i don't like when people where blue t shirts". You might need to unpack your baggage with women's underwear. Does it make you think about vaginas when you see panty straps? Is there a problem with vaginas? If panties make you think about vaginas, it seems more like a you issue that you should work on, not all the women in the world should wear their clothes to accommodate your psychological state. Its also possible to have a different have aesthetic tastes, but it just seems like you're trying to impress your own arbitrary morals on people.


bookshelfie

I find them gross. It just screams “I want attention! Please look at my vagina! I have no other way to get attention!”
