[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When i wear low rise, the jeans are tightest on my hip bones on either side. But i have no fat there, so the jeans lay flat along my hip bones and just kind of lightly stretch across my flat stomach. There's no fat or excess skin that pokes above the top of the jeans.

When I wear high rise jeans, your natural waist is all soft material - soft tummy, soft sides. So even when you're in excellent shape, jeans are typically pulling in against the softness a little - and (at least on me) that results in excess skin/fat being pushed up above the waist band, and the skin across my stomach being smooshed in unflattering ways.  I'm in really good shape with a pretty flat stomach, but unless i am standing perfectly straight and flexing my stomach, high rise jeans just don't sit flat or flatteringly on the skin and stomach.

Low-rise jeans do.

And this was the case for me even when I was 25 years old and too skinny.  Now that i'm late 40s and have had kids, it's more pronounced, but it's always been a thing. [/quote]

I learned that I have to go a size up in high rise or everything looks bulgy. I love how they look when I get them styled just right, but mid and low rise are so much easier for me to get right. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're responding to, and i've tried this - going up a size. But in my case, it doesn't help - either the rest of the pants are now too big, or more likely.... it's still just smooshing across my skin. Because reality is that modern jeans serve the purpose of holding stuff in. And so if i've had lunch, or drank a glass of water or i'm not standing perfectly, my soft stomach will distend out a bit -- and if i got jeans that literally didn't put any pressure whatsoever on my stomach in a fully relaxed position, they would be huge and look silly.

DP. This is just how your body is built. High rise and mid rise are much better for me. I find low rise very annoying. Isn’t it great we have all the choices now.[/quote]
