The growing appeal for fashion garments has grown
drastically over the past years. From a teenage girl to a 50 year old woman,
everyone would want to dress fabulous and look their best. A recent survey
taken by a famous newsletter states that some of the latest fashion trends pose
a variety of risks.
Low rise jeans also known as 'hip huggers' are a popular fad
preferred by both men and women. Women of all ages are seen wearing tight, and
low slung jeans. These are generally made from denim and are worn tightly
around the hips, and the style gradually flares up towards the lower leg. Seen
in the market with different styles, these apparels are created with stretching
materials for a tighter fitting, and are available in different attractive
colors. Hip huggers created a bold fashion move when dressing became no longer
conservative, and leisure dressing was believed as prestige.
The trend of hip huggers is not new. It started initially
during the 60s when the hippie counter-culture and rock 'n' roll was on its
peak. During the later years, the apparel became an icon of disco culture.
During the 90s runway models were seen in low rise jeans. Tom Ford designed his
first Gucci hip hugger suit, and popularized it by Madonna. Celebrities like
Britney, Jennifer Lopez, and Christina made the apparel to become a popular
craze among the youngsters. It generally takes a couple of months for a trend
to live its circle, and then is diminishes naturally, once new fads spring up.
But the craze for hip huggers clings tenaciously on. Youngsters, especially
women are reluctant to abandon them.
To go with the craze of the people, new trends pop up every
now and then. A Brazilian company has introduced a new type of low rise jeans
in the market which includes a bungee cord that allows the wearer to adjust the
height of the pants according to her choice. Many of the patterns in these
apparels are suitable only for kids, and does not suit the dress code of women
in their normal life. This will prove to be impractical apparel in everyday
life. It makes sitting or bending over difficult. Low slung pants also tend to
slide down making the wearer to hitch them frequently. Wearing them constantly
also result in medical problems. They might cause numbness in the thighs by
pressing a nerve at the hip. If not identified at the right time, the numbness
might become permanent.
It is not duress to avoid wearing low rise pants, but these
apparels should be worn with the right choice of accessories to as to enable
the wearer to feel comfortable. Like any extreme fashion, this can also go
wrong and become a major fashion faux. Low hip huggers should be worn with a
wide belt to secure the low cut pants. A cool belt will not only look great,
but will also keep the pants in check. Jeans should be selected in the right
way so as to ensure that excess fat does not hang over the top of the jeans.
Shirts should be selected with the right fit, and should not be too tight.
Moderately low rise jeans can be worn supplemented with the
right choice of accessories to create and fashion statement with style and
class. Looking attractive is a great style provided how a woman selects her
garments. Low rise jeans with the right connotations will look groovy.
