As I predicted in my trends post:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/2022/02/14/spring-2022-trends-silhouettes-and-themes/">https://youlookfab.com/2022/02.....nd-themes/</a></p> <p>.....this is what I wrote:</p> <p><i>LOW, MID AND HIGH RISES</i> </p> <p><i>True to late ‘90s fashion, low rises are coming through, but are not mainstream. They are achieved by wearing bottoms with low rises, or by wearing slouchy higher rises with waistbands that rest on the hip bone. High and very high rises are strong, but mid rises are once again gaining momentum. This might be the first time that ANY length of rise is on trend.</i></p> <p>The first time in fashion history we will see ALL rise lengths. VERY good news :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263702 Thu, 19 May 2022 15:12:04 +0000 Dana 2263702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!! I'm hoping, too that there will be more mid-rises (which I'm seeing online) I loved low rises but now my tops and middle are more suited to mid rise. I'm kind of loving that there is so much more of something for everyone these days!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263500 Tue, 17 May 2022 21:16:14 +0000 Sal 2263500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's a funny one the rise isn't it.&nbsp; I associate a lower/mid rise with the 70s, a higher rise with the 80s (a la Calvin Klein tight jeans), a slightly lower but mid-high in the 90s (more the Mom jean and the 501), with the return to the low and super low rise in the 00s (Britney Spears style) with the rises moving up through mid to high by about 2018.</p> <p>In the 80s I would have worn high rise and in the 90s I was all over 501s.&nbsp; I hated the super low rise as it never really suited me nor stayed up.&nbsp; I honestly can't remember what I did but I did avoid denim for a couple of years and wore more cargo pants etc..</p> <p>I too support a variety of styles because we do all like and suit different rises. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263487 Tue, 17 May 2022 17:54:23 +0000 Anonymous 2263487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a fan of the high-rise, the silver lining for me in lower rises returning is (hopefully) longer tops!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263479 Tue, 17 May 2022 16:27:12 +0000 approprio 2263479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah.

I have found couple possibilities in recent years but one was bad quality ( juniors' department ) and the other color/style was less appealing to me.&nbsp;<br />I don't think anyone needs to restock high rises - they are not going anywhere but variety would be welcome in pants and jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263463 Tue, 17 May 2022 14:37:12 +0000 TriumphFlow 2263463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not into this trend, I more for high-rise and mid-rise denim </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263462 Tue, 17 May 2022 14:35:11 +0000 Kyle 2263462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I recently notice that Madewell is now offering mid-rise jeans.<i></i> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263451 Tue, 17 May 2022 13:07:28 +0000 RobinF 2263451@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's good news for me! Mid-rise hits right about at my waist since I am short, which works since I also have a thick waist. Haha I guess that means my waist is about as large as someone else's hips! But whatever works!</p> <p>I agree it would make sense to offer all rises all the time. When will they realize that bodies aren't all alike.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263445 Tue, 17 May 2022 12:43:37 +0000 cat2 2263445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet — preach.

Time to restock my high rises…. There was about a decade where I loathed all the jeans trends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263439 Tue, 17 May 2022 12:26:13 +0000 Janet 2263439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris, I have a pair of Wanderer utility pants from two years ago. They do fit nicely! The rise is a bit high on them but I can make it work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263438 Tue, 17 May 2022 12:09:55 +0000 Chris987 2263438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!! I have similar proportions to you <b>Janet</b> in terms of rise length, even&nbsp; though you are a good deal taller than me.<i><b>&nbsp;&nbsp;"The high rise era has been miserable for me — everything ends up under my bra band or the crotch hangs halfway down my legs"&nbsp; ..&nbsp;</b></i>me too! or when I sit down there is that ugly crease/fold right across the crotch area.&nbsp;<i><b></b></i></p> <p>I found these two at Anthro&nbsp; ....</p> <p>these jeans are mid rise, and look a bit more interesting and less "tough" in person than they look in the photo.&nbsp; I tried on a regular size, the rise was good, and I ordered a petite to get a shorter inseam length.&nbsp; I'll&nbsp; see how they fit when they arrive. I can't get the URL to paste here properly ... so search at Anthro for Pilcro the Wanderer Relaxed Jeans<br />&nbsp;<br />I also ordered these pants thinking they were the same cut and&nbsp; not realizing they were truly LOW rise ... will see if they work. Search for Pilcro the Wanderer Lo-rise trousers. These may be too warm-toned for your preferred colors.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>If these appeal to you (or any others on team mid/low rise) maybe take a look.&nbsp; For me I could wear them for another month before it gets too hot, but you're in a hotter climate ...&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263434 Tue, 17 May 2022 11:57:53 +0000 Janet 2263434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those Mother jeans are the style I have in cropped dark gray. I think.<br /> The rise might be a little longer than 9.5”. They’re great jeans. The cropped length makes them a little hard for me to style but when I get the footwear right, they’re really good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263432 Tue, 17 May 2022 11:53:22 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2263432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you seen the Mother Weekender jeans? They are a nice mid rise, and I like the cropped flares (they are just about floor length on me). They come in a few different washes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263410 Tue, 17 May 2022 04:10:09 +0000 chirico (Chiara) 2263410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all, great jeans!<br /> I am so happy for the return of the lower rise. It sounds stupid, but with higher rises I get stomachache when I sit at work for several hours - I try to check my posture, but I get it anyway. I still have some mid-low rises from when they were trendy. And I think they fit me better than high rises. But especially, yay for variety! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263405 Tue, 17 May 2022 03:47:12 +0000 elpgal 2263405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the best news I have heard so far. Maybe there will be pants in my future after all. Like slim at, I really need an 8.5” rise for the best fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263394 Tue, 17 May 2022 02:18:08 +0000 rachylou 2263394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess I lucked out because I still have all my low rise jeans and haven’t gotten as many high rises as I really wanted </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263388 Tue, 17 May 2022 01:55:36 +0000 Jaime 2263388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your post made me smile. I have an ongoing argument with someone I work with at the thrift store about low rises. I have been insisting they are coming back in and even have taken sneak shots of young women wearing them to prove my point.&nbsp;<br />Lowish rises are much easier fits for me because my hips and legs are more proportionate with each other than my waist. Nonetheless I will not be going there, but mid-rises, which sometimes fit like high rises on me, are welcome.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263385 Tue, 17 May 2022 01:30:58 +0000 slim cat 2263385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The website states that it's 9" rise - almost mid rise on me ( need 8.5" &nbsp;rise to fit my body - short waisted and straight ). <br />Anyway - nice to see some variety finally . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263378 Tue, 17 May 2022 00:40:38 +0000 Janet 2263378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See, this jean hits me just below the navel! That model has a LONG torso, and mine is short and squat. This is why we need all rises. All bodies are made different. The high rise era has been miserable for me — everything ends up under my bra band or the crotch hangs halfway down my legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263371 Tue, 17 May 2022 00:08:56 +0000 Kate 2263371@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Holy cow, that rise would get me arrested for indecency just by standing. I feel an urgency to shop for ultra high rises right NOW!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263358 Mon, 16 May 2022 23:29:08 +0000 merwoman 2263358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>While a low rise does not work at all for me, we need all rises available for all body types. &nbsp;Stocking up on high rises now…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263356 Mon, 16 May 2022 23:24:23 +0000 Sal 2263356@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was initially not into high rise, but I am fully on board with it now.</p> <p>Nice to see variety though - we need that!!&nbsp; Different rises look so different on us all depending on our bodies.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263350 Mon, 16 May 2022 22:58:39 +0000 Suz 2263350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes!! I'm starting to see more variety again in the stores as well. More on that in an additional post. For me, a mid rise is ideal. I think a high rise is more flattering (since I'm shorter legged) but it's way less comfortable if it gets too high. I like just under my navel when I can find it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/starting-to-see-lower-rise-jeans-again#post-2263349 Mon, 16 May 2022 22:54:13 +0000 Janet 2263349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These jeans at Anthro are really good! However, they were too short for me (shorter than the model photo here) in the size that fit best. When I sized up for more length, they felt like they were going to bag out too much. But I see that they have a tall size online so I’m going to order them to try. I love the snap hem detail. I don’t think they look as low-rise in person as they do in the model photos, but I do have a very short rise. I hope the market doesn’t go super low-rise again. Would love to see more midrise options, and continue having high rises for those who wear them well! </p> <p><a href="https://www.anthropologie.com/shop/pilcro-skater-low-rise-wide-leg-jeans?category=SEARCHRESULTS&#038;color=093&#038;searchparams=q%3Dpilcro%2520skater%26sayt%3Dtrue&#038;type=STANDARD&#038;quantity=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.anthropologie.com/.....quantity=1</a> </p>
