As someone who has PCOS belly the opposite is true. High waisted jeans are a nightmare to wear with the bloating and extra abdominal fat.
The bloating creates a different challenge from being overweight. If your waist fluctuates throughout the day, high waisted jeans become pretty uncomfortable. I'm overweight and don't really deal with any bloating and find high waisted jeans more flattering than low-rise jeans; they also stay on better.
It's both. I have PCOS which causes insulin resistance which leads to obesity. Separately from that, I also experience bloating as a result.
