IT’S ALL ABOUT THE RISE…
Which Rise? The “rise” of a jean is determined by the distance between the crotch and the waist. Knowing your rise measurement is the key to perfect fitting jeans.
Let me explain… we are all different body shapes and within those body shapes our proportions make us different again. So the key is to find the best rise for you. (see how below).
Knowing the measurement of your rise, will give you the confidence to play around with different styles of jeans.
TIP: Your rise measurement also applies to trousers, knickers & swimwear
HOW TO FIND THE BEST RISE FOR YOU
With your jeans on take a tape measure and measure from the crotch seam up to two fingers below your belly button. This will give you the measurement of the rise that will be comfortable for you. Or if you don’t have a tape measure use a ribbon or a piece of string. Take this shopping with you and use it as a guide when picking out jeans to try on.
