[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Short torso here. Hate them. Mid rise is fine, looks like high rise on me. High rise goes up to the boobs[/quote]

Meanwhile, I'm long-waisted and mid-rise jeans feel low-waisted on me. I'm also pretty straight up and down -- my waist-to-hip ratio is not dramatic. High waisted jeans stay put because the waist cuts in above my hips and sits at my narrowest point. Meanwhile mid-rise, and especially low rise, sit on my hip. So they tend to either cause muffin top (even though I'm slim) or slip down over the course of wearing them (meaning I'm hiking them up all the time), or they gape at the back.

I basically never found jeans that fit and stayed put until high rise became popular. Even the high rise jeans I bought 10 years ago (before they were as ubiquitous as they are now, and when "high" meant a 9-10 inch rise) just don't fit as well as the ones I buy now with an 11 inch (or higher) rise.

I guess this is just a good argument for the idea that bodies are different and we need clothes that accommodate the ways they are different. This is kind of a golden age for denim because there are a lot of different styles that are considered in fashion and you can just buy what suits you. I'd be sad if we returned to that era when almost all jeans were low rise or, at best, mid rise. It was just a really unflattering era for me.[/quote]
