depends on the pants not on you

I'm looking for high quality chino's to replace my bonobos. Maybe some other types. I think I'm good with denim and with those I've liked more high waisted.

what is your budget, location and willingness to shop online or secondhand?

well depends on your age i guess? gen z to millennials prefer a higher rise waist to further accentuate long legs or give the illusion of em theres been a shift into mid rise jeans again but i say yea thats a very specific look if youre feeling lanky

thanks for the responses all. I am in Tokyo/Sapporo for work for a couple of months so looking to upgrade parts of my wardrobe. Millenial. Since I'm in Tokyo I'd prefer in person shopping

a good bootcut always can even out the proportions what else do ik if your looking to shorter the visual effects your proportions give super wide pants and a big baggy top can give that short vibe yk in a good way like today i m baby kinda way which pants rise doesnt matter anymore since the baggy top will cover it anyways but if were talking functionally like where should pants rise? try em on, bring it up where you usually like and if your crotch (as a man) aint dying thats a good fit i mean it could also be similar for a woman i wouldnt know

if you like high waisted look for a higher rise no it doesn't You’ve said a lot of words without really saying anything tbh anyone can wear high rise pants regardless of their height/proportions. the answer to op's question is just to try on some high rise chinos and find what's comfortable @ManuelCalavera if you provide a target budget people can drop suggestions of brands to try

beamsPLUS is an option on a slightly different bent, harvesty and sillage both have high waisted chinos, albeit with wider leg openings and shorter inseams
