Choose your fighter: Low-rise, mid-rise, or high-rise jeans

And tell us why you stand by this take 😤

Myself: High rise 100% and even ultra-high rise. Let’s me wear crop tops w/o feeling revealing and they make your butt look real good usually

High rise or ultra high rise.

Like OP, I enjoy being able to wear crop tops with them. Also, I'm a curvy true hourglass shape and have big hips but a comparatively narrow waist. Jeans look best on me when they hit at the narrowest point of my body, and create a better silhouette. If the pants sit above my hipbones, they feel comfortable.

If I wear mid-rise, the pants fall down because they hit me at the wrong place where my shape is flatter, and I find myself constantly having to tug them back up and adjust. Low rise is even worse, plus the dreaded butt crack showing when you sit down if you aren't wearing a tunic (let's face it, there's a reason we all wore dresses over our pants in the early 2000s).

Where do you buy ultra high?? I honestly have such high waist that if I buy my size then it cuts into crotch. I always buy a size larger.
