Pedal pushers aren’t bad. They are cooler than pants and cover the upper leg. I’m 59 and shorts don’t cut it anymore.

Exactly. And sorry about the cankles on some days, but I'm not wearing them to upset you, honest. I'm doing the best I can to be comfortable and covered on these 90 degree days!

I definitely agree with the poster upthread who would love to buy new clothes but can't find any until this hideous hip-hugger fad blows over. I've yet to see a gal they are actually attractive on, but I KNOW it ain't me.

Actually I get elastic waist jeans at WalMart. They fit and come up around my waist. I have a spinal curveture so zip jeans "zig" funny and hurt.

I was also getting summer dresses there, White Stag and Bobbie Brooks. Nice demure, at the knee or below... don't carry them anymore. *sigh*

Btw, 24 yr old daughter hates skinny jeans and hip-huggers. She is slim and willowy enough but she just hates the style.

What's hilarious is the teenagers, even some who are not heavy, who wear the low rise pants, but STILL have a 'muffin top', that is, their belly pooches out above the waist of the pants. Makes me wonder if they even OWN a full length mirror.
