Built for More Structure

High-rise sits higher on the waist than a standard cut, which means more coverage and a cleaner line through the middle without a shapewear layer underneath it. It's the rise to reach for when you want the jean to do some of the work the rest of the outfit isn't doing, smoothing through the middle, holding the leg's line from hip to ankle.

Our high waisted jeans are not one single silhouette. Some run straight through the leg, some flare out into a wide leg jean, and others land somewhere in between with a barrel jean's curve at the knee. What they share is where they sit, at or above the natural waist, which is what gives high rise denim its flattering fit no matter the leg shape underneath it.

What Makes High-Rise Different

• Sits at or above the natural waist for more coverage and support
• Follows the body's natural line, flattering a wide range of body types
• Holds its shape from morning meetings into an evening out, with just enough stretch to move with you
• Pairs cleanly with a cropped or tucked-in top

High-rise runs more structured; mid-rise runs more relaxed. A high waisted wide leg jean or a pair of baggy jeans offers that same secure waist with a completely different silhouette below it.

Styles to Explore

• The Jamie Jean is the classic high-rise, clean and versatile
• The Drew Jean relaxes the shape slightly without giving up the structure
• The Parker Jean stays tailored enough for the office and beyond
• The Jessie Jean pairs high-rise structure with an easy, everyday feel
• The Brooklyn Crop adds a cropped length for a shorter, more modern finish

Easy to Style, Every Time

Tuck a soft blouse into the Parker Jean and add a blazer for the office. Pair the Jamie Jean with a fitted sweater and ankle boots for a cooler day. Keep the Jessie Jean casual with a cropped tee and sneakers. High-rise already does the structural work, so the rest of the outfit doesn't have to.

Because the fit does most of the heavy lifting, women can build an outfit around whatever tops are already in the closet, a blouse, a sweater, a simple tee, without worrying whether the proportions will work.
