Being a new mom, I like my jeans to hold me in just a bit. Unfortunately, low-rise isn’t an option right now and let’s be real – high waist denim is much more forgiving! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is the ideal time to stock up on designer denim. And if you’re like me, you love a good pair of jeans in your wardrobe.

Below, I’ve rounded up my top picks for high-rise, flattering denim. I tried a lot of these on in-store (which isn’t so fun when you are 7 weeks postpartum but here we are!) and included details on sizing and fit for those that I tried.
