J Brand

A high rise sits at or just above the natural waist, lengthening the leg line and holding flat under a tucked blouse, which is why it suits cropped jackets and shorter knits. A mid rise sits an inch or two below, softening the hip and reading more casual, so it works better under anything long or oversized. Rise also changes perceived length, so a high-rise crop can look close to full length on a shorter frame.

Wash cold, inside out, on a gentle cycle and as rarely as the pair will allow. Heat is what kills elastane, so hang to dry rather than tumble; a stretch skinny that has been through a hot dryer loses its recovery and starts to bag at the knee. Dark indigo and coated finishes are best washed alone for the first few cycles. If a pair has relaxed out of shape, a short cold wash and air dry will bring most of it back.
