Over the years, I have gone from only wearing low-rise pants to refusing to wear them at all. When I got this pair of stretch jeggings online, I was disappointed to find that they barely stayed above my hips. So here's the story of how I gave them a higher rise!

I completely disassembled the waistband, then stacked the inside and outside layers on top of each other to extend the waistline.
I added an elastic waistband to the inside, and — my personal favorite change — reattached the belt loops to the front to cover the holes where the button used to go.
After
Now I can wear these pants without having to worry about them riding down!

May your pants be always comfy!

great refashion and must keep it in mind as I have a few low rise denim that could do with updating!
That is so cool! I don't like the low rise look anymore either. This is genius because it matches perfectly and you didn't have to go buy supplies! And it looks awesome! You deserve an award for this one!
