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!!!
My wife just bought “retro” yarn which is 90’s dayglo themed. Neon is apparently the new burnt umber or harvest gold.
The 80s throwback has lasted longer than the 80s did.
Yup. Late post to this, but went shopping with our kids the other day and our daughter picked out several of the high waisted jeans that are popular now. I just chuckled looking at them and pointed out to my wife that she used to wear the exact same thing in high school - late 80s.
80s was a new era of fashion, as will be the 2030s
As a dude of a certain age, it was baffling seeing mom jeans come back into style.
I still don’t get it, I only see this this, but whatever, you do you people. I just wish fat corduroy would come back into style, they were the shit on a skateboard back in the day.

Cords will always be cool. Brown corduroy pants on a woman does something magical for me
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 .
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.
I’d we were suddenly as soon as we were
Pardon me?
How Soon is Now?
Has Anyone Really Been Far Even as Decided to Use Even Go Want to do Look More Like?
Lady, if you’ve got the same hips after 20 years, you’re either doing something really wrong, or something really right.
Isn’t the shape of hips defined primarily by bones? 🤨
Fine, perhaps I should have said “waistline”.
Which can change over time, especially when doing activities like bearing children
It’s a manequin
Looks like a womannequin to me.
Made me laugh, thanks
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?
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?
… 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?)
Comrade Spears of the Fashion Vanguard.
So what you’re saying is the comic is backwards?
No, time is cyclical. All of this has happened before, and all of this will happen again.
The jress
Pronounced like django.
The djress
Why was Britney Spears acquitted?
She was acting under jress.

i was about to combine jeans and jumpsuit
i am not a smart person
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.
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…
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.
Damn, there really is always an XKCD for everything!
the actual curve is a sine
2001??
1991???!!
430 bce?

Boku no Hero Academia ahead of it’s time
The Mean Jeans liked this post.
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
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.
Yeah. Most of the flannel we have left is only good for working in the barn…
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’m not female. You’re still an old fat guy, discussing girl pants with a bunch of other old fat guys on the internet.
Ah yes you didn’t like the response so you must be shitty in return
I think their point is they’re out of touch. In 2023 kids are wearing baggy jeans again.
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.
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.
This is a high-quality comment, dingus.
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 😂
I’m not Kanye West
Ironically, probably something Kanye West would say
On one hand, low rise jeans were a result of the beauty ideal at the time being “heroin chic,” which was undoubtedly harmful and caused many to develop eating disorders.
On the other hand, high waisted jeans are a result of the beauty ideal now being Kim Kardashian, which is still harmful (ask all the women out there with botched Brazilian butt lifts), not the least because the Kardashians lie about their bodies being natural so they can shill useless products.
Although having a small waist is still ideal, I’m glad the window has shifted back from the time when celebrities were slammed in every magazine as fat for looking like this.
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.
Obesity itself is poorly defined and the understanding of it has been determined by diet culture fads that affect the directions nutritional science goes, in a co-production feedback loop. Medicalizing adiposity is fraught with socioeconomic issues. Best to let people live and wear what they like.
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.
