Mavi's Best Kept Secret: Mid Rise Jeans

If you’re new to the world of denim or haven’t gotten around to purchasing your first pair of mid rise jeans, we’re here to help! We’re going to give you some tips on buying and styling your new favourite fit – mid rise jeans.

What are Mid Rise Jeans?

Mid rise jeans are one of the best fitting jean styles for women of all shapes and sizes. Mid rise jeans suit most body types because they don’t hug the waist like other rises yet they sit high enough to hold you in in all the right places.

 Mid rise jeans have been popular for years, but they continue to be one of the most favoured styles because of how universally flattering they are.

Rise length and measurements of mid rise jeans:

As the name suggests, mid rise jeans sit mid way between your natural waist and belly button. A mid rise jean typically measure between  9-11” from the waistband to the crotch seams, front and back.

If you’re buying a pair of quality mid rise jeans, the waistband should sit comfortably just below your natural waistline, becoming more fitted at the hips and following the natural curve of your waist and bum.

Which body shapes should wear mid rise jeans?

As mentioned above, mid rise compliment virtually all body types.

Mid rise jeans come in a variety of styles; mid rise straight leg jeans, mid rise skinny jeans, and mid rise cropped just to name a few. Choosing the best mid rise jean fit largely depends on your jean preference! 

What to wear with mid rise jeans?

Mid rise jeans are one of those items that can be styled with just about anything – which we love! From morning errands, to mid-morning brunch to an evening out. Mid rise jeans can be dressed up and down.
