the higher-rise jean compendium

Hermes

my abs jeans are higher in the back, and I totally dig that. I wore Antiks the other day, and it was a constant battle to cover the skivs. I would like at least some that are higher in the back, myself.

that's my issue too.. every mid-high rise cut i find is higher in the front than the back, it seems. ugh. i tried on frankie b's for the hell of it (totally my mistake), and oh my god, it was scandalous. i felt dirty just trying them on.

anyone know if COH has a mid-rise cut?

awhile ago i tried on a pair of christopher blues and they were a nice higher, but not too high rise. (the cut i tried on didn't work for me though)

i, too, need to find more higher rise jeans. i have some unsightly stomach stretchmarks and i don't like always having to find really long tops to cover the low-rise jeans.

these are mid rise- so they may be pretty high on short torsos- they fit really well though (nicely fit my thickish thighs)- comparable to the joe's muse:

ooh. lynnie, how is the backrise on the james jeans?

I've found one of the Paige cuts to have a slightly higher rise, though I would call it more low-mid than straight mid-level. Hollywood Hills is it, I think?

a little higher. the back is actually the best part- makes my butt look better than any other pair of jeans i own. pretty big claim =)
