I have been in favour of higher rises. I am long waisted, I don't like worry about anything showing when I bend over, I don't like the almost inevitable digging in on the side of my hips that means I only wear low rise with tunics, etc

But

I do have one pair of low rise jeans because I couldn't find high rise skinnies and I have found that they are great on days when I have a sore or bloated tummy which is too sensitive to my normal higher rise jeans. They cut across so low there isn't any disturbance. And because the sides of the jeans are on the hip bones it isn't cutting in to soft parts of me. I still have to wear a tunic, but those are the sort of days when I'd want to wear that anyway.
