Extra High-Rise Jeans FAQs

What different types of extra high-rise jeans are available?

Extra high-rise jeans are available in a range of cuts, colors, lengths, and more. Shop extra high-rise jeans in boot cuts for a touch of Western flair, or opt for a wide leg for a casual silhouette that’s breezy and comfortable. Skinny high-rise jeans are a classic choice for running around town.

How should extra high-rise jeans fit?

Super high-waisted jeans are named for their fit. Rather than sitting at the hips or belly button, these jeans should sit right at your natural waist, emphasizing the narrowest part of your body for a flattering fit.

White House Black Market carries ultra high-waisted jeans in sizes 00 to 18 and short, regular, and long inseams. Not only have we shortened their length, but we’ve adjusted the knee and calf positions to ensure a perfect fit from waist to ankle. We also offer petite jeans and curvy jeans designed specifically for different body types.

When selecting a pair, choose a size that fits snuggly at the waist and hips but isn't uncomfortably tight. Then, make sure your inseam sits at a stylish place.

What are the benefits of wearing ultra high-waisted jeans?

Many women prefer high-waisted jeans for their flattering fit and tummy control. Because these jeans sit at the narrowest part of your waist, they help create an hourglass effect that flatters every woman’s shape. Plus, the high rise adds additional smoothing in the midsection—as does our secret sculpting pane built into many of our styles.

What are the best tops to wear with super high-waisted jeans?

One of the best things about high-waisted jeans is their versatility. Pair your high-waisted jeans with one of our going out tops and elegant jewelry for a night out on the town. These jeans also offer the perfect opportunity to wear shorter-length tops that may leave you feeling exposed with a lower rise.

What shoes should I wear with women’s high-rise jeans?

You can pair a wide range of shoes for women with high-rise jeans. Show off your colorful flats by wearing them with cropped high-rise jeans, or wear heels with wide-leg jeans to lengthen the appearance of the leg even further.
