Trousers

Key Features

• The Rise: Refers to the distance from the crotch to the top of the waistband.

  • High-Rise: Sits at the natural waistline (near the belly button); classic and elongating.

  • Mid-Rise: Sits just below the navel; the most common contemporary fit.

  • Low-Rise: Sits on the hips; popular in casual and Y2K-inspired fashion.

• The Break: The amount of fabric that “folds” or rests on the top of the shoe.

  • No Break: The hem just touches the shoe; clean and modern.

  • Full Break: A distinct fold of fabric; traditional and conservative.
