I too remember when the straight legs first came into style. I left L.A. in May 1976 for a trip to Paris when I was 13. Everyone in L.A. wore flares, w/ giant platform shoes. In Paris, everyone was wearing straight leg Levis. It looked so "foreign" to me... but I bought a pair and bravely wore them to school upon my return. I was laughed at by the snobs... but by September, that's all they were wearing too. I'll never forget it. So soon thereafter, came punk and new wave, so I stopped caring what those girls thought. thanks for bringing that memory back to the forefront... -S- Hi C. perhaps you’ve noticed the times we’ve met, I wear almost nothing BUT vintage flared jeans these past few years… a return to my youth… but I find the lowrider aspect to be a pain– too much flab hanging over the sides, needing to be covered by large vintage shirts.

They are cut quite low, I suppose, but I find that's helpful with regard to the 40+ waistline. I’m not sure if they’re ‘low rider’.

But curious minds want to know: you haven't suddenly accepted the low rider fashion as well, have you? I shouldn't complain though; I can wear ten year old suits, and still look quite dressed. Boringly dressed, but still.
