Basic Definition

Mid rise jeans sit 1” below or just below belly button, depending on the length of your torso. For the average woman, a mid-rise trumps a low-rise because of the coverage it offers and the way it visually divides the torso and lower body.

History

For the vast majority of people, a mid rise jean is the most flattering. Mid rise jeans were created long before the low rise popularity for women who don’t like risking their behinds being exposed.

Style Advice

The mid rise style is great for those who want to hide the ‘tummy troubles’. They will keep your curves and rear covered and hide that muffin top; when buying a pair of mid rise jeans, chose a basic wash and a simple cut since they will go with everything else in the closet.
