High rise is the latest trend in jeans, but some people just aren’t comfortable with it.
You may have heard of this trend and decided to try it out for yourself, only to find that your high-rise jeans are not comfortable.
This is understandable! High-rise jeans can be uncomfortable in many ways: from the waistband being too tight and cutting off your circulation to the fabric being too stiff for your body type, there are many factors that can make these pants uncomfortable.
To help you understand why high-rise jeans might be uncomfortable, we’ve compiled a list of 8 common reasons why they’re not working out for everyone.
1. They are not your style.
If you don’t like the look of them, they are not your style. While some people may not find them fashionable, others do.
If you fall into the latter category and want to try out high-waisted jeans, then give it a go!
However, if you don’t like how high-rise jeans look on you—whether because of their cut or color—then don’t buy them!
You should never wear something just because other people think it looks good on you; that’s what fashion trends are for.
2. The waistband hits the wrong spot.
If you’re looking to avoid the discomfort that comes with high-rise jeans, it’s important to focus on the waistband.
A bad waistband can cause a lot of problems for your body and mind. The wrong size, placement, or material can be uncomfortable in some instances, while a well-made waistband will provide you with more comfort than a lower-quality one.
- Waistband hits the wrong spot
The first issue that comes up when talking about high-rise jeans is how they hit your body at different levels depending on the style of jeans you choose.
For example: if you buy boot cut or flare leg jeans and find them too tight around your hips or thighs but too loose around your waist then this means that there’s an imbalance between those two parts which makes them uncomfortable over time because one part might end up being under pressure while another part isn’t doing much work at all (e.g., sitting down).
This is why it’s important not only to get fitted properly by an expert tailor but also try out various types before deciding which style works best for each individual person based on factors like lifestyle habits such as eating habits etcetera…
3. The waistband is too wide.
If you’re wearing jeans that are too wide, then they will be uncomfortable.
This is because a waistband that’s too large can’t provide any support at all to your core region, resulting in your back being unable to do its job of holding up the rest of your body.
To check if your waistband is the right size, put it on and tie it so that it’s snug around your hips but not tight enough to cause discomfort or pain.
Then try bending over—the proper fit should allow you to move freely without feeling like someone’s cutting off blood flow from anything important down there.
If this test goes well, then congratulations! You’ve found a pair of high-rise jeans that won’t make you feel like an old person trying out yoga pants for the first time (and failing miserably).
4. You’re wearing the wrong size.
One of the most common reasons why high-rise jeans are uncomfortable is because you’re wearing the wrong size.
If you aren’t sure about which size or style will work best for your body shape, always try on the jeans before buying them.
If a pair of jeans looks like it could fit in the store but feels tight when you get home, it’s possible that they were just too small for comfort.
Try going up or down a size to see if that helps with any discomfort issues.
If you’re having trouble finding a pair of high-rise jeans that fits well across your hips and butt without creating muffin top above or below your waistline, look for styles with wider waists and higher rises (which means more fabric around your midsection).
If this doesn’t help eliminate muffin top from appearing above ur waistline then try going up one more size as long as it still fits comfortably through leg opening area while also not being too big on ur hips/bum area .

5. You’re wearing the wrong fabric.
If you’re looking for a comfortable pair of jeans, you should probably stay away from denim.
Denim is a stiff fabric that will not stretch with your body, which means if you have big hips or thighs or butt, they’ll be pinched in uncomfortable places whenever you sit down.
Denim also tends to cling all over the place—depending on your build and where exactly your body parts are larger than average (if anywhere!), this can be especially precarious when it comes to high-rise jeans.
If you’re tall with an overall long torso and small legs, then these pants may look fine on paper but feel terrible once worn—the waistband will pull up over time, causing discomfort in front of friends at happy hour; meanwhile, any part of your anatomy that isn’t covered by denim will stick out awkwardly through gaps in between buttons because there’s nothing holding it all together!
6. You’re squeezing into a smaller size.
High-rise jeans are made to fit snugly, and they’re supposed to be tighter than low-rise jeans.
That’s because they don’t have that extra material at the waistband that you can easily let out or adjust when you put them on.
The problem is that many people who wear high-rise jeans are trying to squeeze into a smaller size than what fits them comfortably—but the waistband is too wide for this garment.
So not only do these pants feel constricting, but the added pressure from having too much material around your waist make them even more uncomfortable!
7. You’re not wearing the right underwear.
If you’re experiencing discomfort in your high-rise jeans or if they feel too tight around the waistband, it may be because of what you’re wearing underneath.
High-rise jeans should be worn with underwear that has a higher waistband than your pants.
This will allow for more room in the front of your pants and prevent any pulling at the back.
If you wear low-rise underwear with your high-rise jeans, it can cause issues like gaping or gapping at the top of your thighs when sitting down (if this happens to you).
On the other hand, if you wear a pair of high-rise underwear with a pair of low-rise jeans, then there will be excess fabric under where your belt loops are located which causes an awkward bulge on each side.
8. You’re cutting off your circulation.
High-rise jeans are always uncomfortable because they cut off your circulation.
When the waistband of a pair of pants is too tight, it can restrict the flow of blood and oxygen to your legs, causing pain in the muscles and feeling like someone is squeezing them really hard.
This kind of discomfort comes from wearing any type of tight clothing—not just high-rise jeans.
The solution here is simple: buy looser jeans or wear a belt!
You don’t need to suffer for fashion; just make sure that you’re comfortable in what you wear by making sure that everything fits right before leaving the house.
Conclusion
The bottom line is, high rise jeans are uncomfortable for a lot of people.
But that doesn’t mean you have to avoid them entirely!
If you’re having trouble finding the right pair for your body type, consider shopping around for styles that fit better with your unique shape.
Or try going up in size (or down!) until you find something that works well with your body type.
In general though, if they’re squeezing into a smaller size when they should be going up instead—then it’s probably time to switch brands or styles altogether.”
