Jeans are a wardrobe item that suits everyone, you just need to find the right style. Fashion is cyclical, quickly loses relevance and becomes relevant again. Not so long ago, low-rise jeans seemed outdated, now they are starting to return to the peak of popularity. Ten years ago, girls did not take into account their physical characteristics and wore such pants regardless of their body type. Current fashion has become stricter, it dictates the rules for who low-waist models suit and what to combine them with. Today, such jeans are loved by representatives of the stronger sex.
What is low rise
Low rise jeans mean that their waistline is below the standard mark, which is level with the navel. Low rise pants have several variations.
- Medium rise — the waistline is 2 centimeters below the navel. This is the best option for people with extra centimeters at the waist, which applies to both men and women.
- Low rise — the waistband edge is located 5 centimeters below the navel. This option suits slim people, but with a short waist area, as it visually stretches it.
- Brazilian fit, or Ultra low rise - the waistband edge is 10 centimeters below the standard area. Initially, this model was loved by Brazilian women, which gave it its name. The pants are held on the hips, the waist is completely open. To wear this model, you need to have a figure without a gram of excess weight and a flat stomach. In jeans of this fit, the pubic area is partially exposed. In everyday life, styles with a super low waist are rarely worn, most often they are used for staged photos and video shoots.
In addition, there are other types of plantings:
- Regular rise — a standard model and the most common fit. The waistband is at the navel level. Popular among people of all ages.
- Original rise – the edge of the belt is located just above the navel and is at the level of the natural waistline.
- High rise — super high fit, the waistband edge can reach the lower ribs. Helps visually lengthen the legs. This style is not popular among men.
Men's low-rise jeans came into the wardrobe from African-American rappers, who had been wearing such models of trousers for a long time. But the musicians did not invent this style themselves. Initially, low-waisted pants were worn in poor American neighborhoods; pants slid down significantly below the navel, not because of fashion. Teenagers were simply forced to wear the clothes of the older generation. And also among the poor, crime was rampant, especially young men who often ended up in prison. In prison, they were not allowed to use belts to avoid suicide and murder. Even after leaving prison, men continued to wear loose trousers without support.
Nowadays, young people most often wear low-waist jeans, which is often accompanied by the edge of their underwear sticking out. This has even become a kind of fashion, especially if the underwear is a well-known brand. It is important that it is clean and in good condition.
Men love low-waisted trousers because the waistband does not restrict their movements, they feel free, and there is no pressure in the abdominal area.
What to wear with
During the previous wave of popularity, low-waisted jeans were worn with everything. Modern fashion dictates stricter boundaries.
Any low waisted items have one major drawback: when bending over or squatting, your underwear is on display for everyone around you to see. There was a time when ladies did this on purpose, but now chastity has taken its place. Girls can be advised to wear low-waisted panties, but in this case, when bending over, the upper part of the buttocks will be on display. For this reason, it is not recommended to wear cropped and fitted tops and blouses with such models, which, however, has lost its relevance.
To avoid such embarrassments, you can wear combined underwear or a bodysuit. There are body shirts and body blouses, in this type of clothing the girl is absolutely sure that she will not appear in an indecent form.
To hide slipping trousers, women can use long shirts and cardigans, which are fashionable this season. Girls are recommended to combine low-waist jeans with voluminous sweaters of small knitting and plain oversize shirts. You can tuck the edge of the shirt into the belt, leaving the other side free. In cold weather, voluminous sweatshirts and parkas look good with low-waisted models. Boyfriend trousers go well with any loose-fitting shirts and T-shirts, and in winter you can buy a long coat or a hooded jacket.
Low-waisted items visually shorten the legs. If the girl is not a model type, it is better to combine them with platform or heeled shoes.
Men who prefer this model should wear it with casual outerwear. This style implies freedom, comfort and modernity. The trousers will look great with loose shirts and untucked T-shirts. Those with a pumped-up torso can afford to wear a pair of jeans with tight T-shirts and vests, provided that the edge of the T-shirt reaches the waist. There are no significant restrictions regarding shoes and low-rise men's jeans; you can wear any that suits the overall style.
There is an important restriction regarding both women's and men's low-rise jeans. They are absolutely not suitable for business style, and are not meant to be worn at formal events. Even if there is no dress code at work, wearing such trousers is a sign of disrespect for colleagues and a deliberate demonstration of sexuality. But Low-rise jeans are indispensable in everyday life, active pastime, at parties and on dates.
How to choose to fit well
Any denim trousers should be chosen carefully. If the item is purchased online, the main criterion is the correctness of the measurements: take measurements of the waist, hips and the distance from the groin to the edge of the intended leg along the inside of the leg.
If there is an opportunity to try on the product in real life, you need to make sure that the pair is not too tight. Men's jeans that are the wrong size will wear out much faster. If you are choosing between two sizes, it is recommended to choose the larger one, provided that the jeans are not stretchy. If the fabric contains a high percentage of elastane, it is better to choose a smaller size, as such trousers will quickly stretch and sag at the waist and knees.
Low-waist jeans look best on tall and slender girls, but other representatives of the fair sex should not give up on this fashionable model.
Women with plump legs will suit dark-colored items. And ladies with slender legs are recommended to wear white and pale blue models. Slender people can experiment with colors: green, orange and even red shades will look good on them.
For those who have a pronounced problem in the hip area, we can recommend flared trousers. This feature of the model will balance the heavy upper part of the leg.
Some plump people try to hide their true size by choosing jeans that are larger or smaller. This is one of the main mistakes, you can choose a product for any type of figure. But clothes that are too tight will only highlight the flaws that they are trying to disguise.
People who are overweight should choose jeans made of thick fabrics with a minimum spandex content. Firstly, such a thing will hold its shape better and will not reveal figure flaws. Secondly, the trousers of plump people tend to wear out faster, especially in the groin area. Clothes made of natural cotton will serve their owner longer.
Skinny guys and girls increasingly prefer wide, baggy models that hang loosely on the hips. Boyfriend jeans have become very popular, and they can be worn by both sexes. The advantage of this model is that it suits both skinny and plump people. But wide, low-rise boyfriends look especially attractive on girls with a boyish figure type.
For several seasons now, models of trousers with turn-ups have been popular, but they, like low-rise jeans, visually shorten the legs. Therefore, only tall and long-legged guys and girls can afford such types. For men of any build, the best option is a low rise with a straight cut of the trousers.
Who is not suitable
Despite the popularity of the model, people try to adequately assess their physical characteristics, since trousers of this cut do not suit everyone. But when going to buy a new pair, it is best to resort to the help of a sales consultant or take a friend who could give an honest assessment. Who should not choose such models:
- Definitely, low-waisted trousers are contraindicated for ladies with the "apple" and "triangle" body types. Owners of the "pear" figure should approach with caution.
- Low rise jeans imply a beautiful waistline and no extra cm on the sides, as well as a flat and toned stomach. For this reason, it is strongly not recommended for plump girls to buy such a product. It will look unaesthetic, and the owner of the thing will experience discomfort.
- Men with a beer belly are best advised to choose classic jeans with a waistband at the navel, made from durable fabrics with a minimum amount of elastane.
- Short girls can choose such jeans only in combination with platform shoes or heels. Otherwise, the jeans will stretch the waist and reduce the length of the legs by a considerable number of centimeters, this applies even to ladies of a fragile build.
- Short men should choose trousers with a medium waistline if they do not want a low waist to make them look even smaller. After all, the stronger sex cannot correct this flaw with high shoes.
- It is not recommended to wear such jeans for those whose upper body is much longer than the lower body. The style of such a cut will make the figure disproportionate.
- Since low-waisted pants imply a display of open skin, you should not wear such a thing after 35 years, even if you have a fit figure. You can feel young in your soul, but age imposes its own limitations, and maintaining decency implies respect for others.
Low-rise jeans have many disadvantages: you need to have a good figure and be tall, when wearing them, awkward situations often arise in the form of underwear that is revealed to everyone's eyes, and in cold weather, you can freeze your kidneys. But at the same time, such models skillfully correct the disproportionate length of the torso, creating a beautiful and sexy image. When choosing denim trousers, you need to decide right away what is more important: beauty or comfort. The main thing is to realistically assess your figure and its type. What is fashionable does not always suit everyone, in some cases it is better to stick to the classics.
