Meaning of RISE in breeches

High school aged me would love these, they remind me of some of my favorite jeans I wore. Current age me wishes my a$$ would look that good in them. :wink: Love the colour!

This falls in into the you know you’re not young anymore when things you wore in the 80’s come around again.

The early 2000s is back “in” and I hate it - low rise jeans are NOT the vibe. Neither are low rise breeches - I’m tall enough that I buy Super Extra High Waisted just to get to my belly button or a bit over.

As a teen we used to laugh about the “amateur ladies” and their mom breeches. Now you can pry them out of my cold, dead hands!

As we all know, there is no standard in clothing sizes for women. So while the actual dimensions will vary, typically the rises from highest (up the torso) to lowest are:

High
Natural
Mid
Low
