We’ve already explained why high-rise jeans are universally flattering, but today we’re revealing why the style it here to stay. After attending Project, a denim convention in Las Vegas where top brands showcase their Fall '15 styles, one popular design update stood out: an even higher high-rise. While the typical inseam for high-rise jeans is from 8.5 to 9 inches, that's about to change. Brands are taking the rise to the next level, increasing the inseam from 9 inches all the way to 11.5 inches. And guess what? The higher version looks even better.
