Quick answer
A high rise brief sits above the natural waist, offering full rear coverage and a smooth, tucked-in feel that stays put without rolling or digging.
How high rise compares to mid rise and hipster briefs
High rise briefs have a waistband that rests at or above your belly button, while mid rise sits around the hips and hipster styles land lower on the hipbone. The higher cut provides more tummy coverage and a secure fit that doesn't shift during movement.
If you prefer less fabric on your waist or a lower leg line, a hipster or mid rise might feel more minimal. High rise is ideal when you want a smooth silhouette under high-waisted pants or skirts.
What about sizing and stretch?
Stripe & Stare high rise briefs are made with soft, stretchy fabrics that conform to your shape without compressing. Sizing generally aligns with standard US dress sizes, but if you're between sizes, consider your hip measurement for the best fit.
The brand's high rise styles use TENCEL™ fibers and recycled lace blends that offer gentle stretch and breathability. The waistband is designed to stay in place without elastic pressure.
Frequently asked questions about high rise brief fit
Where does a high rise brief sit on my body?
The waistband rests at or above your natural waist (around belly button height). It offers full rear coverage and a higher leg cut than mid rise or hipster styles.
Will it roll down or dig in?
Stripe & Stare high rise briefs are designed with a soft, non-elastic waistband that stays flat against the skin. The fabric blend provides gentle hold without digging or rolling.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to the size chart using your hip and waist measurements. The stretchy TENCEL™ and lace materials accommodate slight variations, but choosing based on your larger measurement ensures the best fit. If you're between sizes, size up for a relaxed feel or down for a more secure hold.
Can I wear a high rise brief under low-rise pants?
The waistband will show above low-rise pants. For a seamless look under high-waisted or mid-rise bottoms, high rise briefs create a smooth line without visible panty lines.
How do I care for high rise lace briefs?
Hand wash or use a lingerie bag on a gentle cycle with cold water. Lay flat to dry to preserve the lace and elastic recovery.
