I think low-rise pants have gotten lower over the past couple of years. The last time I bought jeans, I tried on what I thought were the exact same style I was replacing, but they only came about halfway up my hips so I ended up going with what was then being called "natural waist" or something.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
You just gotta be difficult, dont'cha?? (Hee!)
I *live* for it!
Fatty McMe likes to have higher jeans for the pseudo-girdle effect it gives me. I may have muffin top, but at least I don't have a camel toe.

Yeah. I finally had to replace my one pair of jeans (from 1997!), and I had to find them in the men's department. Low-rise bootcut Levi's, baybee, for $16.99 at Target. I love Target.
BECAUSE WE BROKE UP.
Best part? NEVER DATED. I didn't even get *sex* out of this trainwreck of a man boy.
Also, word on the ultra-low-rise. Though I must say I like the regular low-rise, cause it means my pants don't cut me funny round the abdomen. I'm a fan of sitting comfortably.
Not familiar with the Chinese sandals.
I'm a little weirded out by the "shave off your eyebrows and draw on a tiny little line" thing I see on teenagers around here. It looks cool if you are doing a whole retro thing and have the proper hair, but by itself it can give an odd impression. Quite popular with the Hispanic kids, though.
"shave off your eyebrows and draw on a tiny little line"
One of our lunch ladies did that. I was afraid of her.
She was an odd, tense, woman. Her daughter was a haemophiliac. (I suppose that's enough to make you tense)
3) Ultra-low-rise jeans. These flatter no one. NO ONE!!!!!
I can't stop squirming when I see these. How on earth is that comfortable?
When I lived in Brazil, I used to see little (in size) girls/women wearing jeans with a 1 inch zipper all the time. It would never work for me, but they looked great on them.
Working from the other direction, so to speak, my freshman year in college one of the older girls routinely wore shorts that were jeans she'd cut as short as possible and then slit up the outsides. She looked good in them (dammit).
