The Ultra High Rise Stretch Flare Jeans are cut from denim at a weight that balances structure with wearability. New out of the bag they feel crisp; after the first two washes and a full week of wear they break in to a more relaxed hand that still holds the shape of the cut. The leg silhouette works with both heels and flat shoes — a versatility that more extreme cuts (very wide or very skinny) don't offer. Available in Light Blue, Dark Blue.
Construction & Details
- High-rise waistband sitting approximately 25–27cm from the crotch seam — elongates the visible leg line and stays in place through movement
- Flared leg opening that sweeps from the knee — pairs with a 5–7cm heel to skim the floor and create the proportioned silhouette the cut requires
- Denim at 10–12oz — structured enough to hold shape through a full day, breaks in substantially after the first 2–3 washes and a week of wear
- Stretch construction with elastane content — recovers its shape by morning with no knee bagging or seat sagging after a full day of wear
- Available in sizes XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3X — see the size guide below before ordering
- Comes in Light Blue, Dark Blue — each colorway has distinct styling potential depending on how casual or elevated you want the outfit to read
Fit & Sizing
Size to your hip measurement first, then consider the rise. The high waistband sits approximately 25–27cm from the crotch seam — for most people that's 3–4cm above the navel. If you have a short torso, the waistband may land closer to the bra line, which can feel uncomfortable when seated for long periods. Size for the hip and thigh; if the waistband has a little extra room, a belt fixes it cleanly. Going down a size to get a tighter waistband at the expense of hip room is the wrong trade. Sizes: XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3X.
How to Style
The flare leg needs a heel to look right — the hem should skim the floor, which requires at least a 5–7cm heel for most heights. A platform or block heel works because the wide base balances the wide leg opening visually. Flat shoes cause the hem to drag and the leg opening to pool, which looks unfinished. For a casual version, a platform trainer gives the right height without the formality of a dress heel. Keep tops fitted and tucked — volume at the top competing with the wide hem bottom creates an unbalanced silhouette.
Fabric & Care
Wash inside-out in cold water — this slows colour fade significantly by protecting the outer face of the denim from friction against other garments. Avoid fabric softener (it accelerates denim fade) and machine drying on high heat (which causes up to 2cm of inseam shrinkage per cycle). Air dry or low-heat tumble.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you buy
How does the high waist on the Ultra High Rise Stretch Flare Jeans affect what size to order? +
Size to your hip measurement first, then consider the rise. The high waistband on these sits approximately 25–27cm from the crotch seam — for most women that's 3–4cm above the belly button. If you have a short torso the waistband may land close to the bra line, which some find uncomfortable when seated for long periods. Size for the hips, then use a belt or tuck-in top if the waistband has a little extra room. Going down a size to get a snug waistband at the expense of hip room is the wrong trade.
Is the denim on the Ultra High Rise Stretch Flare Jeans rigid and structured or does it soften with wear? +
The denim sits at roughly 10–12oz — heavier than typical fashion denim, lighter than workwear. New out of the packaging it feels structured and slightly stiff; after the first two washes and a few full days of wear it breaks in substantially. The knees and seat soften first, followed by the thigh. Unlike raw denim, these don't need months of conditioning — most customers find them comfortable by the end of the first week.
Are the Ultra High Rise Stretch Flare Jeans long enough for taller frames — do they hit the right length at 5'8"+? +
At 5'8" the standard inseam on most styles hits just at or slightly above the ankle, which reads as a deliberate cropped length rather than too-short. At 5'10"+ there's usually a 3–5cm gap between the hem and the floor, which looks intentional in wide-leg or jogger styles but can look abruptly short in straight-leg or formal styles. The practical answer: check the listed inseam length against your body measurement (floor to hip) minus the rise, and if the result is under your inseam length, the pants will work.
Will the light blue denim on the Ultra High Rise Stretch Flare Jeans fade quickly with regular washing? +
Denim dye releases most heavily in the first three washes — washing inside-out in cold water significantly slows the fade rate. After the initial three washes, colour loss stabilises and the fade becomes gradual and even, which most people find improves rather than damages the look over time. If you want to preserve a dark wash as long as possible: hand wash or machine cold on the gentlest cycle, no agitation, air dry. Fabric softener actually accelerates denim fade by opening the fibers — skip it.
What footwear works with the flared leg on the Ultra High Rise Stretch Flare Jeans? +
The flare leg needs a heel to look right — the hem should skim the floor and cover most of the shoe, which requires at least a 5–7cm heel for most heights. A platform heel or block heel works perfectly because the wide base balances the wide leg opening visually. Flat shoes cause the hem to drag and the leg opening to pool, which looks unfinished. Pointy-toe heels or stilettos can disappear under the wide leg, losing the footwear detail — a chunkier shoe that peeks out from the hem reads more intentional.
Do the Ultra High Rise Stretch Flare Jeans work for petite frames or do they need altering? +
At a true petite height (under 5'2") these will likely need a 3–5cm hem taken up — the standard inseam is cut for an average height of around 5'5". Other than length, the proportions work well: the waist and hip measurements scale correctly to petite frames, and the cut doesn't change in a way that looks proportionally wrong. The rise and pocket placement are the more critical details for petite fits: a high rise elongates the leg; a pocket that sits too low (below mid-thigh) can visually shorten an already short.
