I purchased these for my girlfriend because we were sick of sweatpants which have a crotch so low you could pull them up to your chest and imitate Pee Wee Herman.

I had hoped the "low rise" mentioned in the title here would make them  different.  It did not.

If you are trying out to be gypsy this summer, this may be your thing.  Otherwise I don't know.  At any rate these are definitely NOT "low rise".
