The BEST High-Waist Jeans and Pants from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale has some amazing high-waisted pants on sale right now.

Please note my picks are NOT for the 23-year old gal who is wearing high-waisted mom jeans in an ironic, 90’s retro way, but for my lady friends who need the extra material to cover her crack when she sits down. If you’re looking for “mom jeans” for a younger person, check out our what your teen wants from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post.

Make sure you check out our giant Nordstrom Anniversary Sale post here if you’re looking for some non-high-waisted pant recommendations.

High-Waist Straight-Leg Jeans

Wit & Wisdom Ab-Solution High Waist Ankle Straight Leg Jeans — $44.90 + FREE shipping ($68 after the sale)

Regular and petite sizes 00-16. 10″ rise, 28″ inseam. The site says they are true-to-size but I always size down in Wit & Wisdom.

NYDJ Marilyn Stretch Straight Leg Jeans — $69.90 + FREE shipping ($109 after the sale)

These have a great uniform wash. NYDJ stretches out so definitely size down. Sizes 00-16. 10.25″ rise, 33.5″ inseam. Also comes in plus sizes 14W-28W.

BlankNYC The Madison Ripped Fray Hem High Waist Crop Straight Leg Jeans — $57.90 + FREE shipping ($98 after the sale)

I’m intrigued by the hem of these jeans. Sizes 24-31 which is kind of lame. 10″ rise, 26.5″ inseam.

rag & bone Nina High Waist Raw Hem Straight Leg Jeans — $149.90 + FREE shipping ($225 after the sale)

Sizes 00-34. 11.5″ rise, 27″ inseam.

High-Waist Bootcut Jeans

Wit & Wisdom Ab-solution Itty Bitty Bootcut Jeans — $49.90 + FREE shipping ($78 after sale)

I honestly believe every woman should at very least try these jeans on. They have this wide band at the waist that smooths everything out and keeps your muffin top from folding out.

I’m disappointed that they don’t have a uniform blue denim wash in the sale this year. I’m going to give the black pair a shot and see how I can style them.

Comes in regular, petite, and plus with a 10″ rise. The site says they are true-to-size (TTS) but I size down as these stretch a bit. The inseams are LONG in Wit & Wisdom so you’ll probably have to have them hemmed.

Kut from the Kloth Natalie High Waist Bootcut Jeans — $59.90 + FREE shipping ($89.50 after the sale)

I love the wash of this year’s Kut option. This will look good on everyone.

Comes in regular and petite sizes 00-18. 10.75″ rise, 33″ inseam. Comes in plus as well with a 12″ rise.

Hudson Drew Crop Bootcut Jeans — $129.90 + FREE shipping ($195 after the sale)

Comes in sizes 23-34. 9.5″ rise and a 28″ inseam.

Joe’s Honey Curvy Bootcut Jeans — $99.90 + FREE shipping ($158 after the sale)

I love the wash and the slim cut on these jeans. Comes in sizes 23-34. 9″ rise, 34.5″ inseam so most of us will have to have them hemmed.

High-Waisted Skinny Jeans

Articles of Society Sarah Distressed Skinny Jeans — $48.90 + FREE shipping ($64 after the sale)

Comes in sizes 24-34. 9.5″ rise, 30″ inseam. These will stretch, so size down if you’re between sizes.

Wit & Wisdom Ab-Solution High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans — $49.90 + FREE shipping ($78 after the sale)

I love, love, love the gray color! Comes in regular and petite sizes 00-18. 10.75″ rise, 28″ inseam. I typically size down with Wit & Wisdom.
