    Most modern pants aren’t waist-high, and the ones that are are almost always aimed at women (called “high-rise” pants). Most pants rest on top of the hips. I (woman with wide hips) usually wear men’s pants and the waist thing is a non-issue. The only issue is that the longer crotch area bunches up when you sit down.

      Depends on the shape of your hips. I wore men’s pants almost exclusively until my hips changed a lot during pregnancy and I haven’t been able to find a comfy pair of men’s pants since (and I’m far from the only woman I know with this problem). Glad it works for you, though! The huge pockets are so nice and the fabric is usually sturdier, too.
