@ossobuco,
Some of today's fashion isn't fun. I dislike pants and skirts that ride below the waist. I'm long waisted to begin with so I look like a goon in them. Besides, they're uncomfortable for me. The short jackets that barely skim the lower rib cage look terrible on me for the same reason. Besides, my belly button isn't pierced, so I don't "need" to wear those styles.
However, let's face it, every new fashion trend means some one's shape will not adjust to it. I tried to explain to an ex-boyfriend that there are many differently shaped hip structures, so that pants cut a certain way will suit some women and not others. He thought I was talking nonsense.
