Angie, high-rises are one of the most loathed clothing items for me. They emphasize the hips visually making the hips area bigger and I'm doing everything I can to downplay my hips. Also I'm not wearing fully tucked tops. Only semituck or untuck if top is short. And I prefer to have a fluid voluminous top or at least not too fitted and these not always look good with high rises around the waist. In two words I try to avoid high rises at all costs. I know that it's trendy, it might be that my eyes adjust over time but for now I'm on the bench with that one. Did buy two midi dresses though, which used to be my other no-no

Be a devil! Try high rises! You have been challenged. I think you will like them
with a semi tuck - your eyes will adjust, I’m willing to bet.
