Maybe it's just me, but I am having a hard time getting used to the differnt fits of the clothes available in ladies sizes. I am recently into a 14/16 and was given a bag of freebies from a younger, hipper friend. (I'm 30, she's 23.) The bag was filled with all kids of goodies!

Well, most of the pants were low rise. These are strange to me! My undies keep showing in the back (I am wearing a longer shirt, but what kind of panties are you supposed to wear with these things??? I have hipsters from Lane Bryant.) Also, although the pants fit well, they tend to slide down, so I need to wear a belt with them...

Is anyone familiar with these things called low rise pants and can you please give some fashion/fit/wear advise to those of us that need it (maybe just me) that are newly entering the world or ladies clothing again!

Please help if you can!

I prefer a mid-rise. There is just something about seeing everyone's coin slot or muffin top in those low-rise that grosses me out.

But I have a muffin top in just about anything I wear (at least when I sit down).

Have you noticed that high-rise is now back in style....only about another year before low-rise is totally out.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

I like low-rise. Not SUPER low-rise, but I just can't do "mom jeans." They look horrible on me and feel awful! I just make sure my shirt is long enough to cover everything. I don't like showing off my coin slot. :eek:

Excellent suggestions! I know there is an Old Navy near me...I think I just need to go shopping and be prepared to actually try stuff on!

I love the "Jeans Rules"
