You know how the default trouser position is low waisted these days? Well, how are you supposed to keep your midriff warm, since tops seem to be correspondingly a bit on the short side?


Is it time to resurrect the body suit from the early 90s? Or should I just be searching out high waisted trousers?


Seriously, I had to use my jacket as a draught excluder down at The Magdala last night.



Personlly, I would quite welcome the return of the bodysuit.

Why don't you post a pic of yourself and let the forum decide?

Moos, I'm shocked. For such a stylish girl about town, how have you missed the high waisted jeans trend? It's been going on in the mags n that for over a year now, and Top Shop's certainly been feeding it onto the high street.


However I think they're considerably less ubiquitous than the low rise skinny because they're somewhat less flattering unless you're super super slim.


Also, bodies are back - up and down the land you can hear the the popping of press studs as crotches burst free at inappropriate moments...


There's only one thing for it - jumpsuits - they've been around a while, but they're going nowhere yet. DVF has a particularly lovely one that I have my eye on if I can save the three or so hundred pounds


Alternatively, and hopefully helpfully, invest in a vest from American Apparel - they're long enough to cope with a low rise and thin enough to wear under something else

Am I allow to fillip your response, or whatever the techie word is for splitting up someone's post into bits and replying one by one? Otherwise, I shall get very confuzzed.


Yes, I have seen the high-waisted jeans, and I was deliberately ignoring them, because they are vile. Thing is, I was hoping that they would pair up with the previously-ubiquitous low-waisted jeans and give birth to jeans that sit at the natural waist and behave themselves properly. But so far so no good. I'm relying on Serfontaines at the moment, but it's a very expensive habit.

No! Say it's not so. Oh dear, brings back unfortunate memories of hopping around a lavatory cubicle half-cut trying to cope with doing up a body... oh no oh no.

I dunno. I have seen them on model-types and they still don't look good. What chance, etc?

the high waister jean (as they call it the trade) has, as others have mentioned, been in for some time... but are in my view about to be out again for some time


you know my views on the matter... do your own thing, if it feels good do it, if the cap fits... etc. etc. etc.


seems like the high waisters are giving Keira a stiff neck... have a look... if you think they don't look good on her then...

No, I think you will find that high waisted trousers are a firm favourite with dodgy members of the clergy. Nautical look, high waisted trousers are very popular this year, but I am shocked to hear that DVF have a jump suit for ?300! I never realised they had become so affordable. I buy all of my jump suits at Wickes in Catford. They are a must-have in my line of work.


There are lots of lovely long line t-shirts about, to wear with low rise jeans. Try Question Air dans le village.

God - Given that KK looks DREADFUL here, what hope can there be for us older uglier chunkier persons?

Ladies. If you are looking for the high-waisted trouser, these are rather fetching....(and the model too!)

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
