I used to be on this train but I got a pair of cowboy jeans at the thrift store with a really high waist that never pull down when I sit and now I don't really wear anything else. It's so frustrating that there's not more super high waisted pants available when they are so comfy.
I'm still not sure how I feel about high wasted jeans. When I was doing the club/bar hopping scene low rise were in and that was kind of trashy and never seemed comfortable. I'm not a big fan of "mom jean" type pants but the high wasted but 80's esque baggy ones that seem to be in right now can be cute as hell tho for some reason. Maybe because it sort of touches on grunge?
We are sort of post-trend at the moment. Anything that you feel hot and comfortable in is going to be read that way. Like if you can confidently do something cohesive, that's what matters.
In general though, high-waisted pants are a flattering silhouette regardless of trends. IMO low-rise/hip-huggers are just to scream 'I'm very thin!' You can also get high-waisted without bagginess.
