One of the aesthetic and practical benefits of these high-waisted trousers was that they usually overlapped the uniform's upper outer garment (DS9/NEM "captain jacket," DS9/NEM "captain vest," or VOY jacket) by a few inches, thus preventing any "peek-a-boo" from the DS9/NEM division shirts or VOY undershirts on the wearer - indeed, this may have been a big part of Blackman's decision, aesthetic purposes aside!
Note how the Sisko's DS9/NEM "captain vest" and duty trousers overlapped by a few inches:

| DS9, 5x10 "Rapture" |

| First Contact |
Captain Picard's did too, though by not quite as much:
Some of the Sisko's DS9/NEM "captain ensembles" didn't overlap by quite as much either, though it may just be an illusion due to the size of the display mannequin:
Worf's DS9/NEM jacket and duty trousers overlapped quite a bit, perhaps the most of anybody's:
Bashir's overlapped several inches as well, though not nearly as much as Worf's:
Ezri's DS9/NEM jacket and (spandex) duty trousers overlapped quite a bit, too, like Worf's:
As did Lieutenant Neely's:

Colonel Kira's overlapped too, but not as much as Ezri's or Lieutenant Neely's:
On Voyager, the 2-piece uniform was rarely seen, but there was still notable variation amongst the cast.
Tom Paris' VOY jacket and duty trousers, for instance, overlapped a bit, about like Bashir's:
Tuvok's, however, seemed to barely overlap, if at all; as noted previously, his duty trousers didn't seem to extend as high as other characters'/actors':

| VOY, 5x13 "Gravity" |
Oddly, the amount Janeway's VOY jacket and duty trousers overlapped varied amongst her various uniforms:
On-screen, though, her VOY jacket and duty trousers appeared to overlap plenty, in a similar manner to Ezri's:
