I believe those hip-huggers were a young ladies style. Not for older women to be falling out of the top of..
Probably up until only the last decade men's trousers had a decent amount of rise. A dress shirt would stay mostly tucked in the course of a workday. Jeans fit better too. You could bend over to tie a boot and not show the world your backside.
This modern fad for low rise men's trouser and denim is for the birds..
Ive heard or hiphuggers for men & boys in the `60s. Im not sure if that term referred to the rise, more likely that the pants were cut snug at the hips. The term waspopular in the 70s too. And lowrise pants were trendy in the `70s as well. But today its hard to find pants that arent low rise.
Not Robert Plant's jeans at far right, that rise must be 4 or 5 inches below his navel
