The one I am wearing is perhaps the best I have, should tuck it in properly tho, it looks like a baloon on the picture, was focusing on the pants instead of the whole picture. </p> <p>There are Olymp level 5, S Oliver Selection and another brand (better than those 2 listed) but they are harder to take care (are not noniron) and they tend to get spread on my chest forcing me to wear a tie and that does not look all that casual even with jeans. I will try to provide some within a day or 2 (when I have someone to take pix) and perhaps you could help me pick the one that looks best and direct me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-short-waisted-pictures-inside#post-735391 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:53:54 +0000 CocoLion 735391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually think the principles aren't so different from female to male. I am very short-waisted, I only measure a tad more than one hand's width between bottom of bust and natural waist. I look better in low-waisted pants. You too look short waisted or also "high waisted" to me. You also have a small waist. Definitely go with pants worn lower on your hips, not higher up.</p> <p>ETA -- if you wish to highlight your small trim waist, wear fitted shirts. Wearing pants higher up on your waistline is not necessary to showcase your small waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-short-waisted-pictures-inside#post-735388 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:50:48 +0000 kellygirl 735388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the pants definitely look better worn lower (right side) and I like the lower rise jeans just fine too. Why would you get rid of the pants in 2/3--I think they look very hip and current worn low. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-short-waisted-pictures-inside#post-735385 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 20:41:23 +0000 Rayne 735385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey, thanks for the replies.

I believe men in general also have longer torsos as compared to their legs than women.</p> <p>As to the pants, I prefer the lower fit in the pics. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/am-i-short-waisted-pictures-inside#post-735258 Sun, 30 Sep 2012 16:37:38 +0000 Rayne 735258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I came across this article: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2009/06/29/how-to-tell-if-you-are-short-or-long-waisted/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2009/06/.....g-waisted/</a> but I am still not certain weather I am short waisted or not. Thus I ask for your help. I prepared several images and I hope they will be enough for you to be able to answer the question - otherwise I can provide more info / measurements / pictures.

(should additional info / measurements / photos be required do not hesitate to let me know and I will do my best to provide them)</p> <p>Q2: Additional question is should I wear the pants in images 2 and 3 high (left) or low (right)?</p> <p>Thank you for your time and help!</p> <p>Best regards </p>
