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!)

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
