Best dark indigo high-waisted jeans for a menopausal tummy?

8 replies

Since menopause my waistline has disappeared. Are high waisted/hi rise jeans the most flattering for a bit of a tum?

Any good recommendations please? I prefer a dark indigo. NOT wide legs, they look silly on me. I’m 5’3” and a size 12.

Thank you.

Fat face jeans have always been a good fit for me and my meno belly 🙈

They’re nice but shocked by the irritating lighting on that photo of the indigo ones. I know it’s just the first photo but it’s off putting if you’re scrolling through a lot.

Sorry bit of a derail

Just looked these up, they look great and gone down in the sale! Unfortunately hardly any sizes left, I’ve done a stock alert.

Next Lift Slim & Shape jeans, they're high waisted with a good tummy control panel.

Fingers crossed. I stocked up earlier in the year.

Personally, I find high rise the worst for meno-belly. They just give it full rein to stick out. I prefer a mid rise which hoiks in the worst of it. But mid rise jeans are few and far between at the moment, so not a lot of choice.
