High-rise or high-waisted dresses are designed to sit high on, or above, the wearer’s hips, usually at least 8 centimetres (3 inches) higher than the navel. In Western cultures, high-rise jeans were especially common in the 1970s, late 1980s through the late 90s, derided as mom jeans in the 2000s, and popular again in the mid-to-late 2010s and continues to be popular into the present in competition with low-rise pants.
High-waisted or high-rise fashion has made a notable resurgence in recent years, offering a flattering and timeless silhouette that complements a variety of body types. Particularly popular in bridal Nikah dresses, high-waisted designs accentuate the waistline and elongate the legs, creating an elegant and sophisticated look for brides on their special day. Whether incorporated into traditional lehengas or modern gowns, high-rise fashion adds a touch of refinement and femininity to bridal attire, making it a favoured choice among brides seeking a classic yet fashion-forward aesthetic. With its ability to enhance curves and create a streamlined silhouette, high-waisted fashion continues to be a popular and versatile trend in the bridal fashion landscape.
