There's a fit for everyone!

The foundation to every good closet includes one very classic American item: jeans! Not only is having a great pair of jeans a staple to getting dressed for nearly every occasion, but it's even better when it's a high-waisted pair of denim.

Comfortable, shaping, and versatile, high-waisted jeans are the go-to for everyday dressing. Just like a pair of high-waisted shorts, they're designed to be flattering: this style of fit sits narrow on your waist, lengthens your legs, and accentuates your derrière while being comfortable and giving you that tucked-in, slimming look. (Sorry, low-rise styles—it's just not the same!) Because denim is so durable and comfortable, you'll find that you only need a few pairs to have on rotation, although the jeans on this list are so good you might want them all! There are so many denim brands that offer high-waisted jeans in a range of washes and inclusive sizes. Most have a five-pocket style—yes, that includes denim leggings with pockets! So, shop our favorite pairs here and find your perfect fit. Throw on your favorite jean jacket and a pair of cowgirl boots, and you'll have a look that's all-American.
