Alert: Low Rise Jeans Are Making a Comeback

Yes, you read that correctly. Fashion trends are taking a nostalgic turn once again, and low rise jeans are officially back in style. As someone who has faced challenges with body image and self-esteem largely influenced by early 2000s fashion, I take this news very seriously.

So, why are low rise jeans returning? This trend quietly made appearances on runways as far back as 2017 and 2019. Recently, however, Bella Hadid has been spotted wearing low rise styles multiple times, reigniting this controversial trend.

Some of you might be excited! You loved the low rise look that flaunted your toned midriff. Bring on the belly chains! But for those of us who weren’t fans the first time around, brace yourselves for a wave of nostalgia (and perhaps not the good kind).

My aversion to this trend is rooted in two main reasons. First, it reminds me of a time when my curvy figure felt more like a burden than a blessing. Second, as a parent now, I can’t help but worry about how this trend will affect my kids, especially since they share my body type.

The Impact of 2000s Low Rise Jeans on Body Image

When you think of low rise jeans, who comes to mind? Britney Spears? Christina Aguilera? Perhaps Lindsay Lohan from “Freaky Friday”? These figures often represent a body type that is not reflective of the average American woman. Back then, the average size was around 12-14, while today, it’s more like 16-18. This shift doesn’t mean that anyone over a size 00 can’t wear low rise jeans if they choose to. However, it has taken decades for many of us to embrace our bodies as they are, and the resurgence of low rise pants feels counterproductive to the strides we’ve made toward body inclusivity over the past 20 years.

Are We Doomed to Relive Past Fashion Mistakes?

It might seem excessive to worry that this trend could undo years of progress in body acceptance. For many, achieving self-acceptance has been a significant journey. Additionally, I’m concerned about how trends like this will shape the self-image of future generations. As parents, we strive to cultivate a positive body image in our children, yet they face a world filled with mixed messages about beauty. Fortunately, unlike in the 90s, we now have inspiring body positivity advocates like Ashley Graham reminding us that fashion is for everyone, regardless of size.

Whether you’re eager to embrace low rise jeans or feel a sinking dread at the thought, remember: just because a trend returns doesn’t mean you have to follow it. After all, many ridiculous styles have made comebacks recently, and not everyone has jumped on those trends. So, let’s hope low rise jeans don’t gain momentum. But let’s face it, even if they do, we probably won’t be reaching for real pants anytime soon.

In summary, the return of low rise jeans is stirring up a mix of nostalgia and concern. While some are excited about the trend, many of us are still grappling with the body image issues it can evoke. With modern-day body positivity role models and resources available, there’s hope for fostering a more inclusive narrative regarding fashion and body types.
