I realized I had posted this before my other lengthy post so I'm just getting back to you.&nbsp; </p> <p>I did a major overhaul of my closet this weekend, especially with items that didn't fit and I'd worn too much. I found a pair of white and blue mid-rise jeans (looks high-rise on me) so will post later on, belly and all, with possible muffin top. :)&nbsp; I had ordered a pair of high rise from Everlane but it felt uncomfortably to high. May have to reconsider.</p> <p>Okay, will post soon.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2061392 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 17:42:37 +0000 Suz 2061392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You'll wear higher rises brilliantly! Go for it! Do experiment, though, until you find the height that works best for you. You might have to try a few versions.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2061379 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 16:20:09 +0000 Angie 2061379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are wise and wonderful as always, <b>Sal.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2061282 Mon, 16 Sep 2019 02:22:20 +0000 Sal 2061282@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear high ish rises too and prefer them now because I don't get muffin top.&nbsp; I have hips and some flesh in that area and I feel the jeans smooth over that.&nbsp; I am hourglass shaped but not extreme.</p> <p>For me, I don't like high contrast with the top and bottom when I tuck so I go for medium to low contrast.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I find jeans in general a bit tricky to fit - getting the waist, butt, hip, thigh, calf and length fit, in the wash I like....&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2061142 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 18:31:25 +0000 Angie 2061142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bless you <b>Inge</b> and <b>bj1111111</b> for chiming in </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2061072 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 16:00:13 +0000 bj1111 2061072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Naz! Am in dc at the mo and was thinking of you and your fab style.</p> <p>I have become the woman you describe and actually I love high rise jeans because the waist is closer to my waist size than mid rises were to my hip size. I feel they are more flattering for this reason. If you can, find ones with magic pockets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2061067 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 15:03:03 +0000 kkards 2061067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>re roundness in the belly....maybe i'm an outlier, but i'm finding that the higher rises actually work better at&nbsp;camouflaging it than the lower rises.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2061037 Sun, 15 Sep 2019 13:26:18 +0000 Helena 2061037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this thread; Angie, thanks for the reminder that a little roundness of belly is actually normal and natural and not always something to be sucked in and hidden away! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2060872 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 22:27:51 +0000 Inge 2060872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>So fun to see you again, Naz!</div><div><br /></div><div>I hear you. I was a little hesitant at first too: I definitely have a round belly and full hips, and find the semi-tuck quite flattering and don’t feel self-conscious doing it.</div><div> <br /></div><div>I’ve really been enjoying sporting my new high-rise jeans (photo attached so you can see how they look on). FWIW, I don’t have a defined waist, but do have a swayback like Angie, and find that the higher rise jeans don’t really gape or need altering on me.</div><div><br /></div><div><div>ETA, these button-fly jeans are quite soft (but don’t stretch - just looked at the fabric content: 84% cotton, 15% polyester, 1% elastane), and<br /> although the softer material is not a requisite (I’ve semi-tucked<br /> with other, more rigid jeans too), it does add to the comfort factor if that's a concern.</div><div><br /></div><div>Hope this helps :-)</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /></div></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2060869 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 21:48:37 +0000 Angie 2060869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good.

I'll have to try some jeans on, but first I'm in the process of cleaning out the closet and have found some mid-high-rise jeans that I will have to share on an outfit post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2060816 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 18:10:33 +0000 Angie 2060816@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, <b>Naz</b>. Great to see you. I've missed you.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can absolutely wear high rises, and semi-tuck. The round female &nbsp;belly is not a problem. It's real, there, and all good. Many of my clients have round bellies and semi tuck with the best of them. You need a high rise - but not too high. And some flattering tops.</p> <p>ALL my high rise jeans gape at the back (I have a sway back) - so I have them altered to fit perfectly. Easy fix. High rise pants on the other hand, have been much easier to fit at the back waist. Little need for alterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-high-rise-jeans-question#post-2060753 Sat, 14 Sep 2019 13:23:44 +0000 citygirldc 2060753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Angie,</p> <p>Hello there. It's been a long. I like the idea of a mid to high rise jean but how do you wear them if you have a larger tummy and hip? And my waist is smaller than my hips so would I have a gapping problem? </p> <p>Naz</p> </p>
