Love that super skinny jean look but want a higher waist? J.Crew Mercantile's Toothpick Jean in a high-rise cut is your answer. These jeans sit above your hips for a flattering, nipped-in waist. They're called 'Toothpick' for a reason – they're fitted through the hip and thigh and then go into a super skinny, leg-hugging fit all the way down. The leg is cropped, with a 28-inch inseam (based on size 25), so they hit right at the ankle – perfect for showing off your shoes. The magic is in the fabric: it has amazing stretch and recovery. That means they'll hug your curves comfortably all day but won't bag out at the knees or waist by the end of it. They hold their shape! The front rise is 10 inches, and the leg opening is a narrow 10 inches. They're the kind of jeans you can dress up with a blouse and heels or keep casual with a t-shirt and sneakers. If you're after a modern, sleek, and comfortable skinny jean with a higher waist, these are definitely worth trying on.
