I really like the rise on these trousers. Too many modern suits have trousers with too low a rise. This high rise/slim fit/flat cut looks perfect to me.Originally Posted by Baron
I struggle with rise. With a jacket, I think the rise looks a bit off if it isn't at least even with the lowest button, and preferably falls somewhere closer to midway between the lower and middle (on a 3b, or top on a 2b) button (I'd be curious to know what the "rules" have to say, if anything). But without a jacket, these pants can look almost awkwardly high on me.
I think this may be partly a function of height - i.e. someone sub 6 ft has an easier time getting the proportion right than someone 6 3 or 6 4, but maybe I'm just imagining it.
