Jeans that don’t touch my tits

Where the heck are all the low/mid rise jeans? Surely I cannot be the only human who puts on a pair of high rise and they go up to my boobs. Granted, I’m short waisted, but STILL…

I’m going on a jeans trying on mission next Saturday, typical high street shops, are any of them known for doing a sensible mid rise in a variety of styles?

JW Anderson for Uniqlo straight leg jeans are mid rise.

Watching with interest. I found a pair of 'mid-rise' last week where the rise was longer than my forearm.

I've got some decent low rise levis abroad recently. Don't know if they're available here.

Gridhopper · 28/09/2026 19:15

Levis do low. And the teens/youngsters are only wearing low (often too low for me!) so check out the cheaper/young uns shops

Primark do low rise. My dd won't wear anything else apart from low rise

You need to join our other thread for the midrise Queens

I feel your pain- High waisted jeans are boob-height on me too!

I've had two mid rise from Abercrombie recently including the mid rise 90s straight. Only had the high waist version in store.

I've also had mid rise from Gap, Next and H&M but most of the rises out there are FAR TOO HIGH. I want some space between my waist and my bust.

Sizing up can help if you don't mind a looser, baggier vibe as then the waist falls lower.

Mid rise is very hard to find in actual shops.

BatshitCrazyWoman · 29/09/2026 15:52

I find exactly the same. For the love of god, when will all the high rises just go away?!?

Next do a mid rise, which sits at around the belly button for me.

Sure you don’t need to buy a better bra?!

bababamama · 29/09/2026 16:10

M&S have mid rise

Waitinggame42023 · 29/09/2026 16:18

I recently bought some levis mid rise- they are higher than the mid rise pair i bought back in 2014. that extra inch or two creates a very unflattering pooch

Snugglything · 29/09/2026 18:57

Definitely Motel Rocks. I have two pairs of their parallel jeans which are low rise and love them dearly. Loads of colour options too and the parallel ones are quite wide legged if you like that style.

Zara have low rise which on me are mid rise really.
