Hip pants are low-rise pants that snap on the hips rather than the waist, popularized in the 1960s. They accentuate the waist, stomach, and hips and are often worn with a wide belt. They are made from various materials and were popularized by pop and rock music icons.
Hip pants are a low-rise or low-rise style of pants that first came into fashion in the 1960s. These pants snap on the hips rather than the waist. When worn with a crop top or midi top, its low cut reveals the upper hip and navel area. Hip-hugging pant styles sit perfectly on the hips and thighs.
Many late 1960s versions of hip hugger pants feature wide, flared legs that flare outward from a fitted top section. The fabric of these flared pants was often boldly striped or covered in the abstract patterns and bright, wild colors that were all the rage in the late 1960s. Later iterations of the hip-huggers include sweatpants that taper instead of widen downward. These guys often have sporty stripes on the outer sides of the pant legs.
Since hip huggers accentuate the waist, stomach, and hips, they are a style worn by young adults with slim or muscular figures. Flared or flared pants or jean pants are still often associated with a “rock star look” for both men and women. From the 1960s to the mid-1970s, many young women wore sleeveless tops with hip clamps. Sonny and Cher, as well as the lead singer of the rock band The Rolling Stones, Mick Jagger, helped make hip huggers popular in the pop and rock music genres.
A wide belt is often worn with jeans or blue pants. Adding a belt not only adds personal flair to the look of the garment, but also helps keep these very low-rise pant styles on the hips from riding down too much. Fabric with at least some stretch is often used to help keep hip huggers in place. Since the fabric is stretched and most of the stomach and upper hips are bare, excess body fat in these areas is likely to hang over the edge creating an unflattering appearance.
Hip huggers are made from many different materials, including denim, khaki, leather, and cotton. In the mid to late 1970s, with the popularity of the disco scene, hip huggers in bold materials like metallic gold became all the rage. The 1990s saw the return of the hip hugger, but this time the fabric used was primarily denim for blue jeans. Singers like Madonna and Britney Spears popularized the low-rise jean look for girls.
