Long vs. Short Waisted - What Rise Works Best on Your Torso?

What a difference your waist waist line make! It is important to pay close attention to where your pants' waistband rest, aka the rise.

If you have a lot of room between your ribs and hips and your legs are on the short side, you are most likely long waisted. Wearing high waisted pants with tucked in tops is a great way to make your legs look longer.

Those ladies with longer legs and less distance between ribs and hips are considered short waisted. By wearing pants with a lower rise with untucked shirts can stretch out your torso and make you midsection appear longer.

When your waistband is hitting where it is should bem your legs and torso will appear to be in perfect proportion.
