How should I choose the right size?

Measure your waist and hips and compare them with the brand's size chart rather than relying on your usual jeans size. Check the stated rise and inseam, since high-waist cuts vary from just below the navel to well above it.

Will the rips get bigger over time?

They can. Wash inside out on cold and air dry to slow fraying, and avoid pulling at the torn edges. Some widening is normal for distressed denim.

Are these jeans good for curvy figures?

A high rise with good stretch usually works well for curvier shapes, but check that the hip measurement matches and that the fabric has enough elastane. Rigid high-waist skinny cuts are less forgiving.

Can I wear them to work?

Only in casual workplaces. Large knee rips read as streetwear, so pair them with a blazer and closed shoes for relaxed offices, or choose a pair with subtle distressing.

How do they compare with regular skinny jeans?

They fit the same way but sit higher and come pre-distressed. If you want a cleaner look or more durability, plain high-waist skinny jeans in darker washes are the safer choice.
