Women's High-Waist Pants with Close-Cut Tapered Leg

These high-waist pants have a close-cut tapered leg, creating a shape that narrows as it moves down from the waist. The cut gives the pants a clean outline and makes them a useful counterpart to both relaxed tops and more fitted layers.

Try them with a blouse tucked at the front to show the high waist, or use a longer relaxed top when you want a looser outfit above the leg. Loafers and flats keep the line practical, while a heel adds a more dressed-up finish. A simple top lets the cut of the pants do the visual work.

• Design details: High-waist construction, close-cut tapered leg.
• Styling note: Balance the narrower leg with either a defined top or a relaxed layer, depending on the look you want.
