At what point does my stuck-in-the-80s body decide that low-cut jeans do not feel weird? I have been unconsciously hiking up my pants 1200 times a day for a few years now because I can not get used to the feeling of pants that don’t come up to my armpits. And let’s be clear, I’m not wearing ultra-low rise jeans. These are just below the waist pants, designed for those of us over 25 who want to be somewhat current and stylish but also would like to avoid flashing our underthings to the world. And I walk around yanking them up ALL DAY. I have now pulled the right belt loop off two pairs of jeans because that’s what I use to hike them up. And because all the shirts are short now, it’s looks strange to have a belt loop flapping. I think that it may be time to admit that flattering or no, I need to give up on fashion. Where’s my embroidered sweatshirt and stirrup pants?
