Say “Hi” to the high-waist

It is my strong belief that the high-waist style has been wrongly maligned.  Case in point:  while shopping with a friend one day, I reached for a pair of high-waisted harem pants.  Seconds later, they were on the floor because she had promptly slapped them from my hands.  “Please tell me you weren’t really interested in those.” I recall her saying, her face contorted with disgust.  Well why not? I thought.  Why can’t high-waist styles be fashionable?  She must have known what I was thinking because she quickly rattled off a list of people who, in her eyes, had decisively destroyed any chance of the high-waist ever being in fashion.  Of course, Steve Urkel was first on her list.  At that moment, I made it my life’s mission to prove her wrong.  Not only was I going to prove her wrong, but I would convert her.

…my look on the left

Friend: Not really high-waist. More of an at-waist.  You’d need to hike these up another ten inches for it to count.
Me: Ten inches! I don’t have enough torso surface area for that!

…my look on the right

Friend:  I like this.  A lot.
Me: Ha! I converted you!
Friend: Maybe…
Me: A maybe is good enough for me!
