The not-so-simple answer is equal parts fabric and fit. Stretched out undies, silky garments, and low-quality high rise denim can all be the culprits of this often uncomfortable occurrence.
Some factors that can affect how much pant legs ride up include the pants style (the leg shape and width, in addition to overall ease); the fabric (stretch fabric may simply flex so the pants don't ride up); and your body type (a fuller derrière may take up more length when you sit, for example).
More often than not, sagging is caused by too much folding at crucial areas in your pants. As mentioned earlier, the loose fabric tends to occur at the knees or even the waist area. This usually happens because you bend at these areas the most, creating creases that stretch and weaken the fabric over time.
High Waisted Jeans
One of the most commonly known benefits of high rise jeans is the leg lengthening but the bum also gets a nice lift in the process.
If you have a shorter waist, high waisted jeans is not going to be a wise choice, or obvious reasons. Because they extend above your natural waist, they can make your already short torso look even shorter. A much better choice for you is the mid rise jeans.
High-Rise. This fit is often viewed as “retro” but the truth is, it's classic. Athletic body types with smaller waists will love this fit. Hourglass shapes on the slender side look fantastic in high rise jeans with stretch.
To calm themselves down
Rubbing certain parts of your body (see: stomach, balls, junk in your trunk) in a non-sexual way releases oxytocin, a calming hormone which reduces nerves.
Fortunately, skinny pant syndrome is usually easy to cure. First and foremost, if you are experiencing pain, numbness or tingling in the outer thigh, stop wearing tight belts and pants immediately, and switch to something with a bit more room.
Gapping at the Waist
Is there a wide gap in the back? Now sit down. Did the gap get even bigger? This is a sure sign that your pants are too big, and they're likely showing your undergarments while you're out and about.
Wearing high-rise jeans virtually eliminates the possibility of the dreaded back gap when you sit down. Designed to sit at your natural waist – at or above the belly button – high rise basically means complete coverage starting at your mid-section. But the contoured waist is truly what keeps that back gap in check.
You should be able to sit down comfortably, without the trouser fabric struggling to keep it together. If you notice a lot of fabric stress (wrinkling/pulling) at the upper/inner thigh when you sit, your trousers may be too snug.
For dress pants, a classic rise will leave the waistband sitting at the mid-to-high hip level — so just below your belly button. Your waistband should be snug enough that adding a belt or rocking suspenders would be a style choice, not a necessity. If your rise is too short, you may notice a “wedgie” effect.
YOUR JEANS SHOULD KISS YOUR WAIST.
If your jeans feel like they are falling down or you have to wear a belt to keep them up, then they are too big for you. Too Tight - If the waistband feels snug on your waist (and not in a good way) then your jeans are too tight.
How to Tell if Pants Are too Small: Waist. If your pants have a button that doesn't want to button, you are probably dealing with pants that are too small. Regardless of material, your pants should fasten comfortably around your waist, without pinching or pulling.
It may sound like a made-up condition, but tight pants syndrome is an actual medical disorder known as meralgia paresthetica. It's caused by tight pants that compress the nerve that runs from the base of the spine down the legs.
Extremely tight clothes like jeans can put additional stress on the stomach and intestines. This may then lead to digestive issues or exacerbate symptoms like heartburn and acid reflux. There is also the risk of clothing squishing your organs, which can push the acid into the stomach, resulting in reflux.
Turns out, wearing tight, high-waisted pants can indeed have an impact on your health — especially when it comes to your core and pelvic floor, a group of muscles and ligaments that support everything in your pelvis.
When they cuddle with you, they know you feel safe and secure in their arms. Even if there aren't any real dangers, guys perceive cuddling as a way to protect you. In addition, they also know it makes you feel loved, so when they cuddle you, it's also a sign of affection and warmth.
In Western culture, spouses and romantic couples often hold hands as a sign of affection or to express psychological closeness. Non-romantic friends may also hold hands, although acceptance of this varies by culture and gender role.
So why, I hear you ask, do we find our hands magnetically drawn to our genitals like iron filings to a magnet? The main explanation for our vulgar habit is quite simple: comfort. We do it because it feels nice. Not in a sexy kind of way, just in a reassuring and cosy kind of way.
For instance, while they typically do give the illusion of longer legs, on certain body types they can give the appearance of a short torso. This is especially true if you already have a fairly short midsection. For people with this body type, high-waisted pants may not be the best option.
What is this? Unlike mom jeans, which are high-rise, boyfriend jeans typically have a low or midrise, comfortably resting on the hip as opposed to on the natural waist. While a mom jean usually has a tapered cut, a boyfriend-style jean tends to have a straight cut.
To put it plainly, the best kind of jeans for a curvy woman, or anyone, are jeans that fit well. Beyond the right size, there are several styles of jeans that are particularly flattering on a curvy silhouette. High-waisted jeans should sit comfortably on top of the hip and hug the waist.
Generally, jeans should be long enough to reach the tops of your feet with a little extra fabric, but short enough that the hems aren't dragging on the ground. Jeans promote an effortless style, so their fit should reflect that.
