The fashion world, where the rotation of what’s in and what’s out changes faster than a TikTok cooking trend. I’ve heard a sprinkle of low-rise jeans coming back in, and mostly from people which a pushing back on. Today, I find myself at a familiar crossroad, a denim dilemma of high vs low. With the rumbles of low-rise jeans coming back it has me wondering how popular low-rise jeans were and the sales volume for them to come back into style. Personally, I’m team high-rise jeans and desperately want them to stay in style. Shoot! If they still are?

Low-rise jeans arrived on the runway between 1993 and 1994, when Alexander McQueen debuted his Bumster pants, which were essentially an early version. Where, high waisted jeans first came into style when Levi’s produced jeans for women working on the land and in factories for the war effort in the 1940's.
