I think so. I have a pair of jeans like these, and I rarely wear them, because a regular shirt or sweater is not long enough to keep me covered in them if I have to sit down or bend over. I didn’t like midriff-baring clothes when I was 16, and I damn well don’t want to wear them at age 36.
I can understand that, but these aren’t what I’d call low rise. I see low rise jeans every day, and these aren’t even close. These http://im.rediff.com/getahead/2007/jul/25keira.jpg are low rise jeans.
