A high-rise or high-waisted garment is one designed to sit high on, or above, the wearer's hips, usually at least 8 centimetres (3 inches) higher than the navel.
High-Rise. This fit is often viewed as “retro” but the truth is, it's classic. Athletic body types with smaller waists will love this fit. Hourglass shapes on the slender side look fantastic in high rise jeans with stretch.
How do you know if your jeans are high-waisted?
High-rise jeans generally sit right at or above the navel. The rise can run anywhere between 10 1/2-12 1/12″. For a true high-waisted fit that hits at the smallest part of your waist (and is the most flattering), almost all brands have a “super high-rise” that is guaranteed to have at least a 12″ rise.29 Aug 2015
