I always wondered what CoH stood for! I'm glad that mystery is solved. I run across Acronyms all the time in my line of work. Sometimes when I see one I don't know I substitute my own words for each of the letters. This leads to interesting results. Try it with CoH and see what you come up with? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1830136 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 13:20:39 +0000 krishnidoux 1830136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, I have the exact SAME problem! Thank you for starting this thread, I will be looking into other's suggestions. Glad to know I'm not the only one with this fit issue.</p> <p>Here are my two suggestions for this matter:</p> <p>I had my Talbots jeans (and a couple of others) altered so the waist fits better: even if they are only mid-rise, it made a huge difference to have them nipped: it brought all the material upwards and what I thought were (less flattering) roomy thighs became hips, so the whole jeans is different. The alteration costs around CAN $20. You can see pics in this old post:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-power-of-alterations">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....lterations</a> </p> <p>- Citizens of Humanity Rocket-High rise skinnies (very expensive!). Love them. My CPW has been brought to almost zero as I wear them so often. They are the only ones to go over my navel. I love them even better with a larger soft leather belt and tops tucked or semi-tucked.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1830123 Thu, 27 Jul 2017 12:35:22 +0000 clicketyclk 1830123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey there. &nbsp;Delurking to chime in...jeans always pull me in I'm pear-shaped, and I need a higher rise.

I know I'm much shorter than you but I have a proportionately high rise. The trouble with these for you is that they would certainly be crops. On me, they are ankle jeans.&nbsp;</p> <p>I tried the Gap ones that Greyscale likes but they gave me a wedgie. That can happen sometimes with high rise styles.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then I tried the Rayner crops from J. Crew and those worked beautifully. If you want wide leg crops, that is. Which I did. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829855 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 20:46:14 +0000 Anonymous 1829855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gap has a super high rise, but I am looking for boot cut and they only have skinnies so I have not tried them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829765 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 16:47:06 +0000 Julie 1829765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! I have this problem too. Although NYDJ does usually work for me. I recently found a pair of "super high rise" jeans at the Gap (they were wide leg crops, I don't see them on the website anymore). They were higher than the NYDJ - definitely longer than 10 inches. Maybe those are worth a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829628 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 10:50:09 +0000 kkards 1829628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2nd Style Fan's Levi call out...the levi's website allows you to shop by rise and lenght (i did a quick high rise/34 in length and got 10 items)...and not the 1st place the would come to mind, but try LLBean...they have talls and a couple of different rises. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829622 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 10:39:41 +0000 Staysfit 1829622@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Laura G, I wish there was a Nordies in my community. The closest is a 4-5 hour drive from here, maybe more. I shop Nordies online, and when I visit my family in Michigan, I go to the Nordstrom in either Ann Arbor or at the Somerset Mall in Troy. The Troy Nordies is larger and has a better selection, especially in the shoe department. It caters to the wealthy suburbs that surround the mall.</p> <p>Firecracker, I have my eye on those Mother jeans! They look like a great option, and I'm tempted.</p> <p>I need to check out everyone else's suggestions. I have to head to work now, but I will check back later today. Thanks so much for the great ideas everyone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829599 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 08:50:30 +0000 Style Fan 1829599@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a pair of Levis that have a very high rise.&nbsp; The jeans go over my navel.&nbsp; I got them at the Levis store in Florida.&nbsp; They come in skinnies, straights and bootcuts.&nbsp; There are also lots of washes.&nbsp; I don't know what number they are because I have had the waist altered and the tag is gone.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829587 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 07:57:30 +0000 Dianna 1829587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will follow this thread with interest, since I also have a very long rise, and have trouble finding jeans that fit well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829569 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 06:51:43 +0000 Greyscale 1829569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I commiserate with this - my rise is about 11" to my navel. The Gap has some advertised as "super high rise" but I don't see a measurement on the site. However, I've had good luck with their high rise jeans because they're cut a bit straighter, which helps fix the muffin top problem for us high-rise folks. If the jeans are designed to cut in for a waist that isn't where your waist is, of course you'll get squeezed out the top a little through no fault of your own!</p> <p>I did find a magic pair of J Brand Maria high rise skinnies that are high enough _and_ don't squish my tummy yet look super slimming. And I found them for $20 at a thrift store. Serendipity. I'd looked everywhere for a good pair before that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829567 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 06:40:46 +0000 Laura G 1829567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Firecracker! I followed your Mother jeans link and saw a model with an actual butt! (By which I mean one as big as mine.) I will be checking out Mother jeans too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Staysfit, have you tried asking a Nordstrom SA to find you a brand/pair that fits? Or maybe just asking what causes the muffin top? I don't get muffin top in mid-rise jeans even though I have the raw material, so possibly the cause is something other than a long rise...? Pants fitting is so complicated.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829538 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 04:07:40 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1829538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, I looked up <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.motherdenim.com/denim/denim-high-rise">Mother jeans</a> and found the Stunner has a 10 3/4" rise, and the Hustler has an 11" rise. <br />These are higher than the Looker high rise and the Insider, which you've seen on me, and which are 9 3/4" and 10" respectively.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829535 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 03:46:33 +0000 anne 1829535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Staysfit, I have no suggestions, but commiserations. I'd need a long rise to be really high rise too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829526 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 03:11:26 +0000 Runs With Scissors 1829526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>NYDJ -- at least in regular sizes, not talls -- are typically plus-or-minus 10" in the front. &nbsp;</p> <p>I know vintage jeans styles typically feature a very long rise. &nbsp; I haven't tried any myself, but have seen Freddie's of Pinewood frequently praised by lovers of vintage fashion on the Internet. &nbsp;Their site clearly states front rise lengths (albeit in cm). &nbsp; Vintage may not be the look you are going for, but it may not look quite so retro with your proportions. &nbsp;I know many jeans that people complain are "too high rise" don't look high rise on me at all. &nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.freddiesofpinewood.co.uk/categories/ladies/6-jeans">http://www.freddiesofpinewood......es/6-jeans</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829523 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 03:01:16 +0000 Staysfit 1829523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, Talbots doesn't make a size tall that is small enough for me. I have tried a couple styles of NYDJ but the fit was not quite right. I'm not sure anymore what didn't work with them. I really need to keep notes about items that don't work and why. It would help as much as knowing why something does work. I can take a look at NYDJ again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829517 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 02:48:30 +0000 Thistle 1829517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried a more...errr...mature brand like Talbots or NYDJ? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/in-search-of-an-even-higher-rise#post-1829502 Wed, 26 Jul 2017 02:20:26 +0000 Staysfit 1829502@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently sorted through my jeans capsule again. I find that my favorite style of jeans are those with a high rise. Sadly, the fit of high rise jeans remains problematic for me. My front rise measures over 12 inches. The front rise on most of the high rise jeans I have found is at most 9.75-10 inches. I think they look good, certainly better than a lower rise does, but I get muffin top. I don't have much excess around the middle to create muffin top. I think it's caused by not having the correct rise. Do they make an even higher rise high waist jean? Of course, it would also have to have a long enough inseam......... :-)</p> <p>Would that solve my problem, or would it cause some other problem I haven't considered? </p>
