Both Li and Konaté swear buy high-rise jeans as their go-to rise, mentioning how the higher waist makes them look taller and elongates their legs. The key to not getting gobbled up by the extra fabric is to find the right proportion—what might be an ideal rise on a tall figure may be too high on a petite figure. Konaté also gives this extra tip: “When you wear a pair of high rise jeans, make sure to tuck in your top because it creates a balance in your silhouette as well as giving the appearance of being taller,” says Konaté.
