You make this topic so accessible and interesting. I appreciate you talking about what fits for you and why. It helps me to think about what might work for my teenage son who still wants to wear sweat pants everywhere. I plan on sending this video to him, which he will probably ignore. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I have been sewing since I was four, worked in costume shops and made my own clothes for years. Your explanations are spot on, in my opinion.

High rise pants are also the most comfortable. Soldiers, boxing fighters, all the people who need to move easily wear high rise.

Super comfortable! I'd love to see men wear and talk about high waisted pants more in this modern fashion age

You can find them in jeans also, Levi’s 501 and 510 are pretty high rise since they sit at the natural waist.

5:35 bro you have no idea how many videos i searched to see whats the right way to wear mid rise. All other yt videos demo it fit men without belly or love handles. This was very helpful. Thank you

Dude, I love this...you go into the details that I'm always interested in. We got the exact same view on slacks and suit pants. Can't wait for part 2 #highrisegang 👊

Great to have like minded folks in menswear, I appreciate the kind words

Hi Ian! I've come here a year from when you made this video to tell you this has been the best video on pant rise Ive seen. Im right now remaking my wardrobe and I didnt know how my jeans and chinos should fit because Ive always liked high rise pants. I think Ill follow your suggestion of keeping them with a mid rise so that when I get my first suit I can be truly fulfilled and alsoi because they are made to be like that. Thanks a lot!

Good information. What was missing is with men that have a more matured waistline and going from a low or mid rise up to a high rise and having to go a little bigger on the waist size to accommodate the extra girth. I really like the actual measurements for the different rises.

I'm 6'5". I ran into some low rise pants once and had NO IDEA what was going on. P.S. I'm new here... Good Video.

I’m fairly tall, 6’2”, and kind of long waisted. I don’t like the look or feel on me of higher rise, and short rise looks bizarre on me. I compromise at mid rise-that works best. Keep the excellent videos coming.

Hate, Hate, HATE low riser pants! Lovely video keep up the great work!

This video was really helpful man! Never knew so much about these pant rises,hence would always end up looking awkward. Would definitely keep in mind these points the next time I go shopping pants ! 💯💯

You're not alone, I was there with you but through trial and error i figured my sweet spot. Glad to help in the shopping process

Great video. I picked up so much. This video is a keeper. Thank you for this. This information is so clear and helpful. You look great too, as you know. 😉

Btw I really appreciate your videos because being fit gives you some fit issues and most accounts do not address these issues. Your outfits are down to earth normal guy outfits. Your videos are educational well thought out with out the click bate and unnecessary hype.

Ian great job zeroing in on the details! Excellent point wrt maintaining a seamless transition btwn suit jacket or vest to trousers w/o shirt peaking out. That is so critical. Your Luxaire trousers look great. (Natural waist divided by 58) x 18= ideal regular rise. I think I found this formula in an article from Gentlemen's Gazette. It definitely holds true to prevent that paper milk carton spout as soon as I sit or squat or worse (dreaded plumbers crack) 😂. For myself, this comes out at 11in front rise minimum for jeans /chinos I also find in order to keep pockets from flaring out on slant pocketed trousers/chinos requires both proper hip/seat width and rise. Seat & rise are to bottoms what shoulders are to suit jackets / SC.

Oh I have to try that formula out! You might be taller than me with an 11in front rise. Did you also go through a trial and error stage to figure that out or did you just hit it right off the bat?

Fit Man Style - Much , much trial and error my friend. J.Crew, BR, BB, Asket, PMNYC, Gap, Target, Khols and most Uniqlo bottoms are 10.5in or below in casual bottoms. After discovering the formula I looked for brands w/ 11in rise or >. This is when I discovered Everlane and Spier & Mackay and a have yet to be disappointed by the fit of these brands at their price points. Ian, you have a few inches on me height wise but the formula works regardless of height as it focuses on rise to waist circumference. For ref I'm a tall 5'6" 😂 suit size 42s / 35-36 in most vanity sized bottoms, 29 inseam (27 for cropped summer styles). Now I look at sizing charts, I look at the the rise first then the waist size. You can always take in the waist about 2-3 inches but you can't add rise to an OTR bottom.

I also use a particular technique where I divide the seat by 4 and it actually works

thank you kindly!

I wear my jeans in mid rise and they seat exactly how you describe it. But my chinos or especially if i wear them in more dressier style are above hip bone(slightly higher than typical mid rise). I call this "deep mid rise" :) Its still work a little better especially with shirt tucked in

Thank you!

liked and subscribed, thanks again!

This video is right on time. I'm tired of my butt crack showing. Thanks

Where do you buy high rise pants and how do you know online that a certain pants are high rise

Hey super interesting - what do you think is best for someone who has a small waist but big upper front thighs muscles (rectus fomeris) it’s always too tight just there but ok everywhere else

I got really short legs so high rise is almost necessary. Btw, have you heard of Natalino trousers? They have the perfect RTW fit that you and I prefer.

Question, what are the lowest rise jeans that can be had in larger sizes 40 or 42 waist? Im 6'3" 260 lbs and I wear my pants under my belly.

Hi Rise looks better on you imho thanks for the info!

How can I go online and know the rise of something online ???

I have a short rise. I am about 5'6" and weight about 180lbs. I have a very hard time buying pants. Most I am now getting custom made (out of country so not to expensive). I have a 9 3/8" front rise. i am a 29" inseam. It really looks bad when my pants bunch up at the crotch or there is an extra bit of fabric that makes the crotch area look like it's a skirt. I don't like that. Buying off the rack is impossible as all pants are 12 inch rise or more.

Perfect not mid-rise for slacks & suit pants ...👍

I love your swag

Well Lordy. My poor husband is all belly and it goes al the way around his mid section. He has no behind at all. We can’t find anything to fit him. Help?

I just want casual high rise pants. Why is that so much to ask for?

I have a pot belly and no ass so high rise looks awful on me, they slide down my belly and looks like MC Hammer pants.
