at the waist- the "rise" of the jean (or pant) hits you at the belly button. it's very 70s to wear your pants that high.
just below- about an inch below the belly button.
low rise- two to four inches below the belly button.
ultra low rise- usually not much lower than low rise. they tend to just be more expensive.
bottom styles:
flare and boot cut have been taken care of.
trouser cut- usually these are cut like a dress-pant. they tend to flare out from the waist down.
skinny or drainpipe cut- they taper the whole way, often they really really taper.
several companies like express just repackage combination styles under new names to charge more.
length:
petite: tends to be shorter. in addition the knee will hit higher than on most other pants.
average (or regular), tall (or long), and ankle (or short) vary by store. [ Moop's advice column | Ask Moop A Question ]

Flare - At the bottom of your jeans, again, the hem 'flares' out a bit. I prefer flare jeans because they go well with all of my shoes. Bootcut goes straight down and doesn't look good with my shoes.
