Which type of levis are high rise?
hey so I dont really own any pair of jeans except for one from ASOS and I was hoping to get some levis I mainly like to wear high rise pants and would love some high rise jeans so any recommendations?? I guess I like a rise of 12.5"/31.75 but could be flexible as long as it gives the high rise look
I’m a 34” waist

Hard to know without your waist size to reference to
I’m a 34” inch didn’t know that mattered lol
Rise is gonna vary with the waist size. A 12 inch rise on a 28 inch waist is pretty high. The same rise on a 42 inch waist is not
So I’m just gonna have to try random stuff on and there isn’t a certain number that means high rise?
It's all subjective, really. Maybe try some 505's and see if those are high enough. You may also want to look into more vintage cuts because they tend to have higher rises
But if you're limiting yourself specifically to Levi's, the options for an actually high rise are pretty limited
thx 🙂
Any brand you recommend u Particular for high rise denim?
Pants are hard. It's normal to try a bunch out and figure out what works for you
Yh I guess thanks I’m so used to buying mainly from olive clothing that normally do high rise they have jeans can check them
Muji 32x30 straight fit jeans have an 11.5” rise if that is suitable for you
will check em out thx
Here’s a list of specific pants models and their rises from the MFAD substack: https://malefashionadvice.substack.com/p/high-risers-a-list-of-front-rises

I remember that the Twitter fashion guy once recommended Wranglers as the primo high rise jeans. No idea if that's commonly accepted wisdom.
