Frayed Hem Slim Fit High Waist Jeans
The High Waist Jean That Goes With Everything
A great pair of high-waist slim jeans is the foundation every wardrobe is built around — and this frayed hem version adds just enough detail to make them feel intentional rather than basic. The slim fit elongates the leg, the high waist cinches and shapes, and the frayed raw hem adds an edge that elevates the classic denim formula. Dress them up, dress them down, throw them on with anything — they'll always work. For jean styling inspiration, visit Who What Wear UK and Cosmopolitan UK.

Is this true to size?
Yes — runs true to standard UK sizing. There's a comfortable amount of stretch in the denim. We recommend your usual size.
Does the frayed hem fray further with washing?
Minimal additional fraying — the hem is designed to maintain its look. Washing inside out on cold preserves it best.
Are these suitable for the office?
In a smart-casual environment, yes — paired with a blouse and smart footwear these work very well.
How high is the waist?
High waist — sits at or just below the natural waist, typically around 2 inches above the belly button.
What shoes work best?
Ankle boots, block-heeled loafers and trainers all work beautifully. Strappy heeled sandals for evenings.
