Heights are a typical guide. Your own inseam matters most, so go by it if your legs run longer or shorter: measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". How to measure
True to size with medium stretch. Most women wear their usual department store size.
Two quick questions and we'll pick your length and size. You can still change either one.
Crossed out means sold out in that length. Tap it to get an alert when it is back.
Between sizes? Size down for a more fitted, still comfortable look. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too; they will be a bit more fitted.
Rise is 10 3/4" in size 3 and 13" in size 18W.
How to measure your inseam
One minute and a tape measure. This number matters more than your height.
- Stand straight, barefoot, feet slightly apart.
- Hold the tape at your crotch and run it down the inside of your leg.
- Stop at your ankle bone. That number is your inseam.
- Lay them flat and smooth out the legs.
- Measure from the crotch seam down the inside leg.
- Stop at the hem.
Laura is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam and wears the Short 29". Many women like a little extra length, especially with shoes.

Full product details: rise, fabric and care
Most women don’t hate wide leg jeans. They hate when the length is wrong.
Too long? It overwhelms.
Too short? It cuts you off.
No support? It clings.
The Shelby fixes all of it.
These are women’s high-rise wide leg jeans with built-in tummy control and three inseam options. Designed to smooth through the midsection, balance proportions, and create length without sacrificing comfort.
Wide leg denim. Done right.
Feels like: Structured stretch denim that supports without stiffness.
Looks like: Balanced wide leg jeans that actually fit your height.
Why You’ll Love It

- Built In Tummy Control: A hip to hip shaping panel creates a clean front and supportive midsection. Structured, not restrictive.
- Relaxed Wide Leg Fit: Room through the hips and thighs with a balanced wide leg that elongates and creates easy movement.
- Timeless Medium Wash: A clean, versatile wash that works year round and pairs effortlessly with everything from tees to blazers.
- Subtle Lived In Distressing: Light distressing at the pocket edges and hem adds character without overpowering the look.
- Premium Stretch Denim: Cotton blend with stretch that holds its shape while staying comfortable throughout the day.
- Three Inseam Options: Because the right length makes the difference. Short (29"), Regular (32"), Long (35"). Ideal for women searching for tall wide leg jeans, petite wide leg denim, or jeans in multiple inseam lengths.
Designed for Real Life
Workdays. Weekends. Travel. Everyday styling that still feels elevated. This is wide leg denim that transitions seamlessly from sneakers to heels without losing structure.
Fit & Fabric
Fit: True to size with medium stretch. Most customers find this matches their usual department store jeans size. For example, if you are typically a waist size 26 in Levi's, you should get a waist size 26 in The Shelby.
Shopping boutique brands? Most customers prefer to size up one size from their usual boutique size. If you wear a size 5 in Judy Blue, you will wear a size 7 in The Shelby.

Questions women ask us
Straight answers from our fit team.
Will the Shelby gap in the back?
No. The Shelby is fitted through the waist so it does not gap at the back.
Do the Shelby jeans have tummy control?
Yes. A built in hip to hip panel smooths and supports your midsection without squeezing.
Are the Shelby jeans true to size?
Yes. They are true to size with medium stretch, so most women wear their usual department store size. If you wear a 26 in Levi's, choose a 26 in the Shelby. If you wear a 5 in Judy Blue, choose a 7 in the Shelby.
What if I'm between sizes?
Size down for a more fitted, still comfortable look. Curvy sizes 14W to 24W can size down too. They will be a bit more fitted.
What makes the Shelby different?
It is one of our stretchiest wide legs, with great rebound so it holds its shape, a timeless medium wash and three inseams.
What is the rise of the Shelby?
The rise is 10 3/4" in size 3 and 13" in size 18W.
Which inseam should I choose for my height?
The Short 29" typically fits 5'4" and under, the Regular 32" typically fits 5'5" to 5'8", and the Long 35" typically fits 5'9" and up. Your own inseam matters most, so measure from your crotch to your ankle bone. Laura, our founder, is 5'2" with a 27.5" inseam. She wears the Shelby in a size 1, Short 29".
Will I need to hem the Shelby?
Everyone is built a little differently, so measure first. Your inseam runs from your crotch to your ankle bone, and many women like a length a little longer than their measurement, especially with shoes.
Are the Shelby jeans good for petite and tall women?
Yes. The Shelby comes in three inseams: Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35". Petite women can choose the Short and tall women can choose the Long.
What sizes does the Shelby come in?
Sizes 00 to 15 and curvy sizes 14W to 24W, each in Short 29", Regular 32" and Long 35".
What is the Shelby made of?
62% cotton, 36% polyester and 2% spandex, with medium stretch. Machine wash cold inside out and tumble dry low.
