We always love high-waisted leggings [1] (so we don't need to tug them up mid-workout), but that affection also extends toward jeans. After all, despite the return of low-rise [2], a higher-than-high cut is especially flattering on the waist, especially with a cropped or tucked top.
Since we're never not looking for a new pair [3], we popped over to Old Navy to find the ones that would offer front snaps that literally kiss our bellybuttons. Whether this style is tried and true or new to you, see our top 19 favourites including straight-leg, wide-leg, boot-cut, and skinny, too.
