mid rise

Neither low-cut, high-cut

Mid rise describes pants or shorts that sit at the natural waist or slightly below—higher than low rise but not as high as high rise.

The term appears mainly in clothing retail: These mid rise jeans are comfortable for everyday wear.

Mid rise offers a compromise between coverage and a modern silhouette.
