Pants & Shorts & Skirts

What are the differences between high-rise, mid-rise, and low-rise styles?

High-rise pants have a waistband that sits above the natural waist, usually at or slightly above the belly button. They have the longest seam between the crotch and the waistband, elongating the legs and accentuating the waist. They’re ideal for those who want more coverage or a defined waistline.

Mid-rise pants sit midway between the hips and the belly button, making them a versatile option for most body types. They provide a comfortable fit without being too high or too low, making them great for casual or professional settings.

Low-rise pants are worn at or just above the hips, sitting below the natural waistline. They offer a relaxed, casual look and are perfect for those with shorter torsos or who prefer a more laid-back fit.

How do I choose the right rise for my body type?

To choose the right rise for your body type, it’s important to take accurate measurements:

1. Waist: Measure around the smallest part of your waist.
2. Inseam: Measure from the crotch down to the bottom of your ankle.
3. Front rise: Measure from the crotch to your belly button.

If you have a longer torso, high-rise pants help balance your proportions. For shorter torsos, mid-rise or low-rise styles may be more flattering. Also, consider your hip and thigh measurements if you struggle with finding a good fit in those areas.

What is the difference between wide-leg, flare, and straight-leg pants?

• Wide-leg pants widen from the waist or hip down to the ankle, creating a full, flowing silhouette. They typically have a high rise and are available in a variety of fabrics, from linen to denim. These pants are comfortable and versatile, ideal for both casual and more elevated looks.
• Flare pants start to widen at the knee, creating a bell-bottom effect. This retro-inspired style draws attention to the legs and pairs well with fitted tops to balance the volume.
• Straight-leg pants have a consistent width from hip to hem. They offer a more structured look compared to wide-leg or flare pants. Straight-leg pants can range from slim-fit styles to more relaxed, slouchy designs, making them suitable for casual or formal settings.

Which styles are best for different occasions or body shapes?

• Wide-leg pants are great for pear and hourglass body shapes, as they balance wider hips and accentuate the waist. These pants work well for casual wear and can be dressed up for formal events.
• Flare pants are ideal for creating curves or emphasising long legs, making them perfect for taller or athletic body types. You can pair them with heels for a dramatic, elongated look.
• Straight-leg pants are universally flattering and work well for many body types. They’re suitable for both everyday wear and professional settings.
