The concept of the 'natural waist'
I'm quite perplexed by the natural waist. Some says it's where your navel is, some says it's the thinnest part of your middle body.
For example, the size guide on Natalino's site says: 'Our trouser is intended to be worn at the natural waist so please measure firmly around the navel. '
My waist size is 32" around my navel. That's not the thinnest part of my waist, though. 1.5" above my waist is only 31", but that's very high up on my body.
I need a 12.5" rise for the trousers to reach the 32" inch (navel) area on my waist. I'd need at least a 14" rise for them to reach the 31" area.
And I see trousers with a 9.25" rise (from The Armoury, e.g.) advertised as high rise.
WTF is going on? Is my body weird or do I not understand something?
