Low Rise Jeans!

Low-Rise jeans have a deliberately low-cut waist intended to sit low on, or below, the hips. They are also known as low-cut jeans, hipsters, hip-huggers and low riders. Low-Rise jeans are intentionally cut lower on the waist,  covering less of your body in the front  and the back. Usually the jeans sit at least three inches lower than the belly button. Although Low-Rise jeans have existed since the 1960s. They are the it Style among Fashion Conscious Women and Men Today, and are the Jeans of preference for those who want to show off that lower back tattoo.

                          

Measurements

Low-Rise jeans are designed to expose a considerable amount of the upper body or the torso. The "rise" of a jeans is determined by the distance between the bottom of the crotch and the top of the Waist Band and is usually around ten to eleven inches on regular Jeans. In comparison, the average measurement of Low-Rise jeans is roughly seven inches (18 cm), with some as little as three to four inches (7.6–10 cm). these are classified as" Ultra Low Rise Jeans". On many "Ultra Low Rise Jeans" the  zipper is so small  it no longer has its traditional function, but rather becomes a display of fashion.

                                       

Whats The Deal?

Here is an example of the number one question that we Receive on our website. Why does the picture and your description say size 27 but you list the waist size as size 31 ? The answer is always because it's a "Low-Rise or a Mid-rise" JeanIts not a dumb question, its just that many people simply have never taken the time to measure the actual size of Low-Rise and Mid-Rise jeans  in INCHES! And why would you? Well until now you wouldn’t! After all when You go to the Department store You really don’t need to even look at the size of jeans you try on, Just Grab a stack and try them on! The top three that look and feel the best go home with You!

So just to Clear it up a bit, when a seller lists the "Actual" Measurements of a Low-Rise or a Mid-Rise Jean, the Waist Band Measurements will Not be the same as the Size on the tag of the Jean. A typical Low and Mid-Rise Waist Band will always measure 3-6 inches larger than the size of the Jean. This is because the Waist Band sits On,Under, or Slightly above your Hips, Depending on how Low the Rise is.

Learning to Buy the Jeans that fit and flatter your body is the goal and at the same time saveing Hundreds of dollars in Retail Pricing, Gas for your Vehicle, and Lunch breaks wont hurt either! Lets face it, a trip to the Mall isn’t just the cost of what you Buy, You and Your vehicle need fuel to keep You going! Lets not even mention the hours upon hours it takes! (Especially around the Holidays).

While Purchasing A Pair of jeans that Costs $98 at the Mall, the average person will spend between $120 and up to $180 when the day is done. And some of us even MORE!

Some Rules To Remember!


1) Low-Rise jeans worn with a Longer-Form fitting Shirt will make you appear Thinner, and at the same time will also make your Butt look Smaller and more Petite.

2) While Low-Rise Jeans look great on most all body types, those of  you that are short waisted benefit even more! Low-Rise jeans make your torso look longer and leaner.

3) How low should I Go? You must find a happy medium! On a Saturday Night out, Dress to impress with your Low-Rise jeans. But going Grocery shopping you may want to try a Mid-Rise. It's good to have choices in your closet. Lets face it some days you feel like a nut, and some days you don't!

4) Most of us have a favorite pair of jeans that flatters our body or that we just simply love! Measure the Waist, Rise and Length of these Jeans and use them as a Guide!

5)When Buying jeans, buy them in different Lengths also! Jeans look very sexy with High Heel Shoes, but not if they stop at your ankle! At the same time Jeans and Flip-Flops go together like PB & J! So learn to buy jeans in the right lengths for the right occasions also.

 6) Every Company makes different styles and fits of Jeans! And just like the fact that there isn’t ONE weight loss pill that works for every Person, The same is true with Jeans, there also isn’t going to be ONE Jean that fits all women!  

                                   
 7) If you are able, visit a Department store, try on different Styles and Fits  so you know what your looking for as you shop online.

                                                                                   
 8) As we all know a New Style and Fit of Jean is always just around the corner! So ask the seller Many Questions, this is a good way for you to learn about New Styles and Up and Coming fashions and Trends! It's also a good way to see if this seller is Willing to help you in your efforts. If the seller isn't able or won't help you with the item they are selling, Move on! Look for one that can and will! A Seller That Knows his/her industry is worth it's weight in Gold!
