I've been looking for ages for trousers with a low waist but everything in the shops is high waisted (or labelled mid-rise but still high). I can't wear anything high or mid waisted as I have a complicated patchwork of scars on my mid-stomach and low rise trousers are the only that don't aggravate them. Everything I see that's low rise arm is skin tight and really low, and I don't fancy my rather well padded buttocks being on show. My favourite pair of trousers have an 8 inch rise from crotch seam to waistband which is perfect for me, whereas my other trousers have a 10inch plus rise between crotch seam and waistband and feel horrible to wear.
I've had some success with Next, I have a pair of boot cut cords which fit really well and are the perfect place on my stomach. Everything else I own is painful to sit down in, as the waistband cuts into my scars. I have a pair of elasticacted waist-but-smart trousers, which are mid rise but don't hurt my scars as they're soft, but make me look very "matronly", maybe as they have pleats at the front, not sure, I may just have a matronly stomach so I think I need something more structured/fitted, like the cords.
Have you seen any 7/8 inch rise trousers (preferably ok for work) in any shops? I've tried most high street places but they're either too high waisted or low waist and skin tight which would not be ok for work
