Product Description

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

  • High Rise Structure: Sits at your natural waist for a secure, flattering fit that smooths without pinching or digging in.
  • 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.

For full measurements, please refer to the size chart.

Rise:
Size 3: 10.75"
Size 18W: 13"

Inseam: Short 29", Regular  32", Long 35"

Fabric: 62% Cotton, 36% Polyester, 2% Spandex. Stretch denim designed to maintain its shape while offering comfortable flexibility.

Care: Machine wash cold, inside out, tumble dry low.

The Why Behind the Design

Wide leg denim should not feel like a gamble.

The Shelby was designed to eliminate the guesswork. Support through the waist. Room through the leg. Length that actually matches your height.

Because when proportions are right, everything else falls into place.

Love the fit of these jeans. I would have liked them to be an inch longer because the next longest length would have been too long. They do fit beautifully though!

Hi Char, we're thrilled to hear you love the fit and that they fit beautifully! 💕 We totally understand wanting that in-between length. We’ll definitely keep that feedback in mind as we continue working on our denim lengths!

Thank you so much for your amazing review, Karen! We're so happy to hear you're absolutely loving your Shelby jeans! It’s wonderful to know you're enjoying the comfort, stretch, flattering high rise, and the different inseam options for taller shoppers.

Hight recommend. Very slimming and flatering. I sized down because of the other reviews I read and they fit perfect. Im a 5ft petite women and weigh 115. I ordered these in a 0. Another pair i have just like these and ordered a 00 and they fit great as well.

I’m so happy to hear you found such a great fit! It sounds like these were a perfect addition to your denim collection.

Love these! I am a short girlie, and losing weight, so wanted a stretchy fit and tummy control. These feel so good and check all the boxes. The wash is perfect and not too distressed. They look and feel a bit structured but the stretch is there for the comfort. The wide leg is proportional and the length was perfect. Add to that some beautiful packaging and WOW! Perfect!

This is everything! The Shelby by Ava Lane High-Rise Wide Leg Tummy Control Denim really checks all the boxes, that perfect mix of structure and stretch with a balanced wide leg. So good to hear they worked out just right for you!

Ava Lane Boutique Exclusive - The Shelby - Denim is nice and soft. Very comfortable. I ordered the 18W 35” inseam. It fits perfect. It’s a great height for a high rise and the wide leg isn’t too wide. The only thing I would change is I wish I could have ordered it in a dark wash, although this medium wash looks very nice on too.

This is so good to hear, especially with that fit working out perfectly for you! Love that the fabric feels soft and comfortable, that makes all the difference. The wide leg balance on these really hits just right too. A dark wash option would be so good, I’ll definitely pass that along to our team!

LOVE these!

I ordered the size down so I could have a more fitted look on the bum. They were perfect! My husband complimented me on them right away, which means they must have looked good! Highly recommend!

Stephanie this is so fun! I love that you went for that more fitted look and nailed it. And getting that instant compliment? That says it all! Such a great pick for your closet!
