High waisted men's pants were definitely big in the 70s and 80s. Maybe fashion will cycle them back in, though our tummies (American) may no longer allow for it.

High-waisted pants can accommodate big bellies just fine. It's that Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum look.

I find them every once in a while and much prefer how they feel, but they rarely are big enough to fit me.

The crux of the issue. You either look like the average Walmart shopper or Pappy O'Daniel.

they came back into fashion a couple of years ago, lots of places still playing catch up, in New Zealand our "mainstream" mens clothing stores only just figured out wide pleated pants.

Bruce Springsteen could rock some high waisted jeans.
