How should high-rise jeans and denim fit?
Women’s high-rise jeans are designed to sit just at your natural waist. Many women find that high-rise jeans accentuate the smallest part of their body, giving them an hourglass figure. Another benefit of high-rise jeans is the slimming effect the style provides to the midsection.
Many of our high-rise denim pieces include built-in shaping. These feature a special hidden panel that slims and smooths the tummy area.
How can I style high-rise pants for different occasions?
High-rise jeans for women are versatile pants that can be dressed up or down for a range of different occasions. Get inspired with these outfit ideas:
- Casual outfit. Pair high-rise wide-leg jeans with a simple tank, metallic sandals, and everyday jewelry for a breezy, comfortable outfit.
- Professional outfit. Wear high-rise pull-on pants with a long-sleeve blouse in a colorful print. Finish with a comfortable yet professional pair of flat women’s shoes.
- Formal outfit. Wear high-rise denim jeans for women in a dark wash. Add a silky blouse for a touch of elegance. Finish the look with heels for a bit of extra height.
Are high-rise styles suitable for all body types?
High-rise women’s jeans and denim often look flattering on all body types, but are typically best suited for pear-shaped or apple-shaped torsos. This is because jeans can accentuate the waist and pull attention away from the midsection. Those with shorter torsos may struggle with a high-rise fit. The cut may fit too high and shorten the torso too much, giving a truncated appearance. Women with this figure often find that midrise jeans look much better.
What is the difference between high-rise and high-waisted?
Generally speaking, high-rise and high-waisted are used interchangeably, but there are some differences between the two cuts. High-rise jeans refer to the rise of the pants, which is the distance between the crotch seam and the top of the waistband. In contrast, high-waisted jeans are characterized by the placement of the waist, which is at the natural waist. In most cases, high-rise jeans and high-waisted jeans will fit similarly, but there are exceptions.
