My breeches always seem to ride up
My leg higher than the top of my riding boots and pinch , when I either do a lot of sitting trot or have a cross country seat out of the saddle . Several makes do it my decathlon kipwarm, hy performance full silicone seat, interestingly not my John Whitaker anyone have any advice how to prevent this . I wear Ariat grassmere riding boots so full length.

Does it only happen to the ones that have silicone/grippy seats? Have you tried wearing long socks over the top of them?

I don't particularly get this problem but I do find that a pair of long, tight but stretchy socks (proper riding boot socks, mine are Noble Outfitters but there will be loads of others) keep everything anchored down where it's supposed to be. Maybe try that? My usual problem is that my socks wriggle down and part company from my jods that way. Proper riding boot socks solve that.
