High Waisted Jeans

High-waisted jeans come in all styles and levels of stretch. So you can truly find your perfect pair of high-waisted jeans that will stretch how you want, hug your legs how you want (or not hug your legs, if you prefer), and look great doing it.

The trick with high-waist styles is to avoid having your top rest on the front rise of the pants or it may look bulky. Show off the cinched waist you’ve got going on, and plan your tops to balance out the jeans.

High-waisted pants go all the way up to the navel, so most people choose to wear short, cropped shirts or fitted tops to let the waistline show. Tight tanks, cropped t-shirts, tucked-in tops, or bodysuits (short-sleeved or long-sleeved) all work well with high-rise jeans.

For the winter or cool weather, try layering your top with a chunky cardigan or cute blazer to stay warm and get that versatility in your look.

Straight-leg high-rise jeans are classic enough to be styled in tons of flattering ways. For a casual, everyday look, tuck in a t-shirt or choose your favorite bodysuit and, for your feet, lace up your sneakers and off you go.

For a more elevated look like dinner with friends or a casual get-together, grab a flattering tank top, a cropped sweater, or a corset top, and pair with flats or sandals. 

If you want to take it up a notch, choose your favorite pumps and cutest clutch, then go with a women’s vest, a sparkly tank, or a poplin button-down shirt, depending on your final destination.

Well, we’d never call them plus size unless the plus stands for extra curves. Curves are our core! We’ve got your perfect fit covered with high-waisted styles like the Power Stretch Pull-on Jeans, with body-sculpting, curve-loving stretch denim that feels like a second-skin. Wear high-rise styles with your favorite t-shirt or a sculpting bodysuit. If you want to wear a layer over your top, add a cozy cardigan or faux leather jacket to reflect your personal style.

Our high-waisted women’s jeans have a front seam between 9”- 11”, although anything that sits at your true waistline can be considered high-rise, with the waist being the smallest point above your hips (usually right at your navel).

The “rise” technically measures the front seam of a pair of pants. In this case, when a pair of jeans has a high rise, that makes it sit high on your waist—as a result, you can use the terms high-waisted and high-rise interchangeably.

Absolutely. Women’s high-rise denim is flattering and appropriate for casual office wear. Pair your best high-waisted jeans with a sculpted blazer, tucked-in button-down shirt, or other powerful bosswear.

Yes, you can certainly wear a belt with high-waisted jeans. If the waist needs a bit more cinching or you want the put-together look that a belt creates, go for it. Try a tucked-in white button-down shirt with a dark belt for a classic vibe.
