The purpose of jeans is to look proportional, to make you look good.

Low-rise jeans – or so they called hipster, hip-huggers and low-riders – are meant to wear quite low on the hips, either its’ to sit low on, or below the hips. Usually they sit around 3-inches lower than the belly button. With lower cut on the waist, these type of jeans will definitely display more skin at the waist, torso, and hips. Accordingly, they are sometimes worn in combination with shorter crop tops, giving a glimpse of skin between the jeans and the top, or (more commonly in the summer or in warmer countries) showing their entire midriff including the belly button

Low-rise jeans give the illusion of shorter legs, but a longer torso. For this reason, low-rise jeans look best on people with a short torso and long legs, in order to elongate the body while keeping a proportional look. Also, the buttocks is supposedly said to appear smaller in low-rise jeans.

If you are interested in low-rise jeans, then you will find it easy enough in the market, almost every brand has their supply of low-rise jeans (both for men and women); name it Diesel, or Lee, Levis – and even those designer jeans such as Guess, they all have that type . Currently, low-rise jeans are manufactured in many styles, and though tight jeans are usually the most popular, they also exist in loose, baggy, flare and destroyed style. And believe it or not, since low-rise jeans have become so popular, manufacturers have also begun making low-rise styles of other kinds of pants. Check out your local stores, you will see tons of variety available. Indeed, low-slung jeans, especially tight black styles, have become increasingly popular in the more recent hipster scene.
