High Waist Jeans for Women

High Waist Jeans for Women

What defines a high waist jeans for women?

A high waist jeans for women has a tall waistband that reaches up to the waist, sitting noticeably higher than mid or low rise jeans. This emphasises the waist and creates a well-proportioned silhouette. At Tom Tailor, you'll find high waist jeans in a wide range of cuts, from the classic Straight Fit to the wide-legged Wide Leg Fit and the relaxed Mom Fit. The fastening is classic, typically with a button and zip, which keeps the high waistband securely in place.

Which high waist fits are available at Tom Tailor?

Our range covers a broad selection of leg shapes, so you can choose whatever suits you best:

• Straight Fit: A straight leg that works with almost any top or shoe. A solid choice if you're looking for jeans that suit many different occasions.
• Wide Leg Fit: A wide cut that makes the legs look longer and gives plenty of freedom of movement at the hip and thigh.
• Slim Fit: A close cut that follows and flatters the silhouette.
• Mom Fit: Relaxed at the hip and thigh, tapering in towards the hem.
• Culotte Fit: A wide, ankle-length leg that works equally well with flat shoes or heels, and feels airy on warmer days.
• Bootcut Fit: Gently flared towards the hem.
• Barrel Fit: Rounder through the thighs and narrower towards the hem.

There are also various lengths to choose from, from full-length to ankle-grazing and cropped styles, as well as shorter capri cuts. That way, you'll find a pair that suits your proportions and your everyday life.

What materials are high waist jeans made from?

Most styles are made predominantly from cotton, which gives them a robust, hardwearing feel that holds up well in everyday wear. Additional fibres are often used across the range:

• Recycled cotton, clearly labelled as such at Tom Tailor.
• TENCEL™ Lyocell for a softer feel against the skin.
• Recycled polyester in the fabric mix.
• A small proportion of elastane or elastomultiester for stretch and freedom of movement.
• Hemp in selected styles.

Which body types suit high waist jeans?

The high waistband frames the midsection and draws the eye to the waist, making high waist jeans a versatile choice for many different body types:

• To make legs look longer: slimmer cuts such as Slim Fit.
• For a relaxed feel at the hip and thigh: Wide Leg Fit or a loose Mom Fit.
• For effortless styling: straight Straight Fit styles.
• For petite heights: ankle-length or capri cuts, which avoid shortening the appearance of the legs.

Ultimately, the most important thing is what feels right for you.

How do I style high waist jeans for women?

The high waistband works especially well with tops that are tucked in, which lets the waist take centre stage. Cropped tops and T-shirts are also great companions for the high waistband. For a relaxed look, pair a Wide Leg or Mom jeans with a soft knit jumper or a sweatshirt. For a more classic feel, a simple shirt or a blouse works beautifully. Slim and straight cuts are easy to style in many different ways.
