The Irony of High-Rise Trousers

[ceetee.cattuong@gmail]

Hi All,

I read the first comment on the thread and immediately felt  less alone. For context, I'm 175cm and 70-72kg. BMI of 23. Within healthy range by most measures. I have a 36" chest, 34" at the waist, and 32" at the hips. So yes, they slide down without support.

For me, high rise dress trousers = suspenders. Casual trousers do not make sense to me in high rise so it's mid rise for those garments.

Done!

Just want to chime in for a bit

My body is a bit on the flatter side [170cm-66kg: 95cm chest, 85cm waist (measured just under ribcage), and 95cm hip). For context, I wear pants on-a-slim-fit-side with rather high waist (86cm total back+front rise) because, apart from the visual effects, I like how the waistband does not bunch up when I bend or sit (that under-the-ribcage point is where point body bends), or when I eat too much (the from-crotch-to-waistband part works as a pouch for my tummy ).

But, I don't like to wear braces (too much effort putting them on, plus without an accompanied jacket, they provoke a vintage vibe, which is not my taste). So, how do I keep the pants from slouching down?

1) Tailored the trousers' waist 1-3 cm smaller. Your tummy is squishy, they can endure. Remember to have belt loops as well to anchor your trousers' waist.
2) Or if that is a bit uncomfortable for you, have your pants made with a drawstring (inside) and tighten them to your liking along the day. You don't have to worry about re-adjusting throughout the day like with suspenders.

I hope that these info could help you a bit
