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
.
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.
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.
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.
This is the correct answer. It's sinosoidal and the frequency has to stay low enough that the time between peaks and troughs will necessitate that people continuously buy jeans and can't reuse the ones from the prior peak or trough.
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..
So 2 datapoints = the trend forever? I mean today I parked my car one space to the left of where I parked it yesterday. So I guess in a month it will be in the middle of the street.
I noticed 90s high top jeans are back in fashion lately, lots of 20 year olds walking around looking like my mum haha, but eventually they'll lower again, and then go up, down, up, etc, it's just a cycle is all.
Yup. Lots of 90s fashion is in right now. My daughter is wearing flannel shirts. I told her I could have loaned her some of mine but I got rid of them all about 20 years ago.
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.
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 😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
...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.
Nah, this is objectively incorrect. We all know 2021 was the start of paying more for less. 2021 fashion was crop top, crop jeans, crop everything, even our crisp packets had less crisps in it. Over it all, you wore a jacket that used to be your Dad's blazer that he used to wear for work (the super boxy one).
I think the high waisted stuff became fashionable as part of the marketing blitz to celebrate obesity. Shame, because healthy (thin) bodies in low rise jeans look fantastic.
I miss low rise jeans, but I'd be a tray of muffin tops these days. That being said, when I was in my teens and early 20s they may have fit me perfectly around the front with my flat stomach and narrow hips but my big kaboose (that was not in fashion back then) really struggled to stay in! Avoiding plumber's crack was a daily struggle. They were made for a very specific body type.
Exactly what I thought of lol
We're living in the future
What is that from
Naruto Sandstorm

My hero academia : P it's actually a great anime and also a great TCG

The current female waistline fashion is 1980s throwback
Does that mean 90s fashion is going to make a return soon? I am all for that to be honest.
It already is
Havent you noticed all the midrifs yet?
there was a lot of BAD 90s fashion, be cautious about what you are asking for!
Yes. Bring it all back. All of it.
Kids wearing 3rd generation Spencer Gifts Bart Simpson "Don't have a cow man" shirts and Kris Kross coverbands!!!!
The 80s throwback has lasted longer than the 80s did.
80s was a new era of fashion, as will be the 2030s

Cords will always be cool. Brown corduroy pants on a woman does something magical for me

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.
Pardon me?
Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
How Soon is Now?
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.
Said no woman ever
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…
It's more like a periscope
There would be fat guys with plumber's crack too

They haven't been paying attention for long enough to make such a prediction.
The waist height vs time function is approachable to a sinusoidal function with a period of about 20 years.
This is the correct answer. It's sinosoidal and the frequency has to stay low enough that the time between peaks and troughs will necessitate that people continuously buy jeans and can't reuse the ones from the prior peak or trough.
Right. Who else remembers when bell bottoms came back what, 18 years ago?
Lady, if you’ve got the same hips after 20 years, you’re either doing something really wrong, or something really right.
It's a manequin
Looks like a womannequin to me.
Made me laugh, thanks
And yet, I'm sure the pockets can't fit a phone.
If a phone fits in a pocket, how will we sell women handbags?
We've already seen the upward evolution of high wasted jeans, and it's coveralls.
Haven't low waist pants been having a major comeback for a while now?
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.

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.
🫶
Yes, whoever made this is a full decade behind fashion in every panel lol
So 2 datapoints = the trend forever? I mean today I parked my car one space to the left of where I parked it yesterday. So I guess in a month it will be in the middle of the street.
relevant xkcd
Damn, there really is always an XKCD for everything!
the actual curve is a sine
2001??
1991???!!
430 bce?
... wait no actually a jdress sounds awesome
Britney Spears pulled it off in 2001.
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.

If you did this comparison from the 70s to the 2030s you'd have pants around the ankles.
It fluctuates, wear whatever makes you happy. Don't try to slippery slope fashion, they're way ahead of you already
ITT: 35+ year, out of shape, men.
Ah yes you didn't like the meme so it must be sexist which demands sexism in return! Sorry they don't make jeans in your size 😔
I think their point is they're out of touch. In 2023 kids are wearing baggy jeans again.
I'm not female. You're still an old fat guy, discussing girl pants with a bunch of other old fat guys on the internet.
I noticed 90s high top jeans are back in fashion lately, lots of 20 year olds walking around looking like my mum haha, but eventually they'll lower again, and then go up, down, up, etc, it's just a cycle is all.
Yup. Lots of 90s fashion is in right now. My daughter is wearing flannel shirts. I told her I could have loaned her some of mine but I got rid of them all about 20 years ago.
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.

This is a high-quality comment, dingus.
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.
I cycle, so I'm definitely not a fan of low waist jeans. I want my lower back to feel warm and covered.
Can I suggest wearing a WWE belt backwards?
Joking of course, wear whatever you're comfortable in
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.
Hey thats the #3 pro hero show some respect

Fashion is manipulating but some shit is just plain ugggff
Depends on whether its jeans or spandex "jeans" ie jeggings.
Getting women in spandex is always good fashion 👍
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.
Not OP but - California
Lotta pretty people here
...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.
Isn't the 2031 one a real thing already? I'm pretty sure I saw humans wearing something like that in the past.
These two were 30 years ahead of their time. From 2001: https://www.eonline.com/news/729308/britney-spears-justin-timberlake-s-denim-date-happened-15-years-ago-today
Everywhere in the seventies.
dae kids pants too damn high these days
Cover up your forehead, you trollop
I still have my black jeans with the fire decal going up the leg!
I live in the start of the 2031 - noticed such dress several times on the streets
Prolly a boomer made this meme.
Nah, this is objectively incorrect. We all know 2021 was the start of paying more for less. 2021 fashion was crop top, crop jeans, crop everything, even our crisp packets had less crisps in it. Over it all, you wore a jacket that used to be your Dad's blazer that he used to wear for work (the super boxy one).
The start?
Coming out of lockdown, remember?
I think the high waisted stuff became fashionable as part of the marketing blitz to celebrate obesity. Shame, because healthy (thin) bodies in low rise jeans look fantastic.

I fail to see the problem there
High waisted jeans don't do heavy people any favors, as it makes their fupa more pronounced if they have their shirt tucked in
You posted cringe
