I "collected" them right away when you showed them. I particularly like the frayed hem with the pointed toe bootie -- it's a bit of juxtaposition. I'm also really glad to see you wearing a semi tuck here. I've been wearing semi-tuck or full tuck with my higher rises and just prefer it. </p> <p>I love the button front on these. I have one pair of (hidden) button front crops (mid-rise) plus my old True Religion BFs (which are in a holding zone now). I might give this jean a try myself, although what I really think I'm after is a very dark wash one; my Chelsea 28 culottes are a medium/light wash and I am lacking a dark wash version!&nbsp;</p> <p>The culottes make me look curvier and sometimes I worry about my back view a bit. But I wear them anyway. :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779851 Sun, 19 Feb 2017 12:47:52 +0000 Jjsloane 1779851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great on you, but I'm probably not joining team high rise anytime soon. I just don't see them looking even JFE on my apple belly. And no belt?? Ack. I've been away too long. </p> <p>I am glad to see crop jeans with frayed hems are still current. I was worried a bit when I saw a pair in the Talbot's catalog of all places.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779836 Sun, 19 Feb 2017 09:48:25 +0000 Mirjana 1779836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans on you Angie, you look fab in your high rise jeans. The buttons are very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779821 Sun, 19 Feb 2017 03:42:15 +0000 MTBGirl 1779821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie you look fab in your high rise jeans! You're onto it with the buttons breaking up the expanse for you.&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;Anne, I just measured and my 11" rise comes nowhere near my waist either! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779528 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 20:52:28 +0000 Laura 1779528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ordered and feeling hopeful!

I'm imagining your whole outfit too, from the finds you've shown. How fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779490 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 18:26:59 +0000 Angie 1779490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Liz and Bijou. I'm loving the "controlled frayed hem" too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Anne, YES. You have a long waist and rise. High rise is 10 inches on my shorter rise.&nbsp;</p> <p>Laura, go get them too. And Go Team '80s.&nbsp;</p> <p>Fun memory, JAileen.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779440 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 15:49:47 +0000 JAileen 1779440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top of the pants look so good on you. They remind me of the USN sailor pants I wore in high school. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779386 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 13:12:14 +0000 Laura 1779386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic in these - the exposed buttons are very 1980s Guess denim. &nbsp;I'm experiencing a serious case of high-rise envy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779384 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 12:49:28 +0000 anne 1779384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just went and measured my high rise jeans. 11 inches! And they are still not up to my waist! I must have the longest rise ever! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779381 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 12:37:18 +0000 Bijou 1779381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that you tidy up the hems, as I do this on my frayed hem jeans too. I do like a frayed hem, just not too frayed. The fit of these jeans are fantastic and I can see them being a real workhorse over the warmer months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779366 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 11:42:29 +0000 approprio 1779366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm going to say it again. I LOVE that detail on the hem, and they look a whole lot better now that you've tidied them up. More intentional, and so much more you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779296 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 03:45:04 +0000 Angie 1779296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you fit into those jeans soon, Aquamarine. </p> <p>Shevia, thanks for the encouragement and kind words. I will wear these for you with pride. </p> <p>GF, you can get a good before pic of the hem if you zoom into the Nordies photo. Think of how mainstream distressed denim is. In fact - it's relentless and there is no stopping it, (or the body con skinny for that matter). Frayed hems are the cousin trend. Plenty of mainstream and avant-garde longevity. It's STILL on the catwalks - never mind retail.  </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779288 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 03:31:01 +0000 gradfashionista 1779288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have before and after pics of the hem change? And may I ask how long you anticipate having these in your wardrobe?--just a guesstimate. </p> <p>In general, how long do you foresee ragged hems being in style? The conservative in me worries that if I purchase a pair, they'll look dated before they've been worn out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779285 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 03:25:19 +0000 Jaime 1779285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look perfect on you Angie! I am a terrible fit in most higher rise jeans but will enjoy these on you. Maybe even the entire outfit one day . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779274 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 02:59:16 +0000 Aquamarine 1779274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you! I used to love button fly jeans, but I agree with April...too much trouble for my 50-year-old bladder these days.</p> <p>I did buy a pair of high rise cropped flares at Madewell a few months ago. I kind of like them on me. Sadly, I am carrying 5 extra pounds after the holidays that I can't seem to shake, so the jeans are shelved for now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779251 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 02:20:25 +0000 Angie 1779251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan, you are just lovely. I know you like high rise too. High five.&nbsp;</p> <p>Karie &amp; BrieN, I added pics of the hems with footwear at the beginning. They are a perfect length. Lucky! You're dead right about these NOT ballooning out at the hip and thigh, which makes them more flattering. Streamlined and tailored in all the right places.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779240 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 01:44:14 +0000 tulle 1779240@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty on you--love the sky blue wash, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779225 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 00:27:33 +0000 Karie 1779225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These look great! I'd also like to see a photo of how you neatened up the hems.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779207 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 23:42:12 +0000 BrieN 1779207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are very nice jeans - they have a higher rise without the ballooning that the 20 year olds are sporting (my DD and her friends included). I think a 10" rise is ideal for me. &nbsp;I would love to see a photo of you wearing these in full frame to get a sense of the height that you've got them cropped to. Higher rise, cropped, flared... you've clearly got it going on! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779201 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 23:24:46 +0000 Style Fan 1779201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these jeans Angie.&nbsp; They look great on you.&nbsp; I will be thinking about them.&nbsp; Very pretty colour of denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779193 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 22:59:52 +0000 Angie 1779193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dana, thank you. Really? It’s almost all mid and high rise this side. Interesting. </p> <p>April, HAH. No problems whatsoever with the button fly and loo logistics. My jumpsuit in the other hand……..</p> <p>Xtabay, I love a button fly too. High five. </p> <p>Bonnie, Cynthia and Jenni, you are lovely.</p> <p>Lisap, thank you, and you crack me up. (UO might not have been the best place to try hihj rise jeans!)</p> <p>Sally, wise words and good luck with your jeans search. </p> <p>Janet, you always look fab, and better each year. </p> <p>Joy, you also crack me up. Go tty on some him waisted jeans. </p> <p>Caro, you’re a honey, and high five on loving the cropped flare. </p> <p>Smittie, thank you. YES. A 10 inch rise, which on my shorter rise is very high. I usually take a 25 in premium denim. Sometimes 24 and sometimes 26. These are perfect in a 25 (although I stitched the back a bit). </p> <p>greycat6, HAH. I’m much more concerned about the front view, actually. Back looks just fine to my eye. I have a round bottom that fills out the high rise. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779177 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 22:25:06 +0000 greycat6 1779177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jeans on you, Angie!</p> <p>I can see how the button fly adds visual interest to the front thus breaking up the expanse of fabric inherent in this style. What about the back view? Lisap's comment about the back view of a sales associate hit home for me. My long torso makes thisstyle very appealing but is there any way to negate the expanse of fabric on the back side? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779171 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 22:11:02 +0000 cindysmith 1779171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are super cute on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779168 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 22:07:13 +0000 Anonymous 1779168@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look great! They look great!<br /> I LOVE the exposed front buttons. Is this the 10" rise?<br /> Is the sizing the same as premium denim?<br /> I know what my size is in COH and Mothers.<br /> Can you tell I'm interested in these?!<br /> Ps: again, you look really great </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans/page/2#post-1779149 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 21:22:45 +0000 Caro in Oz 1779149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love these on you Angie.

My stomach is still *relatively* flat, but I have weird back fat that I never had when I was younger. Ah, menopause. So the default styling of high waists when I was young -- snug fitted tucked tops or even bodysuits -- just don't work so well now. </p> <p>Dressing a changing body is an adjustment, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/love-my-new-high-rise-jeans#post-1779122 Thu, 16 Feb 2017 19:50:57 +0000 Sal 1779122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is fun to change it up.</p> <p>I am planning to head to a retailer with a large selection of different jeans and try on a variety of styles. &nbsp; I have to be in the right mood as it can be both physically exhausting and mentally exhausting because I know 8/10 pairs will be wrong in one way or another. &nbsp;I will be interested to see what I can and cannot wear.</p> <p>I think for those of us with a decent size bust, a short waist and being thicker through the middle than we used to be mid rise jeans are still going to be our friend more than high waists. &nbsp; </p>
