When you try to get the same effect by wearing pants up at the waist, it just looks ...stupid.
My Dad was in the army in the 60s. He gave me a few pairs of NZ Army trousers that are worn at the proper waist. They also have a lot more room in them. They are probably the most comfortable trousers I have. I do hope you would not think I look silly. But then, it doesn't really bother me if you do. :-)

Most trousers that are available in the shops don't have nearly enough room in them to be comfortable even when worn at the hips. I know, if you try to wear this type of trousers at the waist, it is very uncomfortable.
