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.

The exact fibre composition of any given style can always be found directly in the product description.

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.
