American Eagle AE Super High-Waisted Flare Jean review

American Eagle's AE Super High-Waisted Flare Jean is the most reviewed jean on this list, with 2,615 reviews averaging 4.7 out of 5 and 97% of reviewers recommending it. AE lists a super high 10.25 inch rise, a 32 inch inseam and a 23.25 inch leg opening, fitted in the thigh before the flare. The denim is AE's Next Level Stretch, which the page rates as High Stretch with Medium Support and says holds its shape, so the waist should move with you rather than dig in. A Curvy version adds room through the hip and thigh for women whose waistbands gap. The list price is $69.95 and it was $41.97 on sale when we checked, and AE has extended holiday returns through February 1, 2027. The rise is lower than Everlane's 12.25 inches or Citizens of Humanity's 11 inches, and very stretchy denim can loosen over a long day, so women who want structure should pick rigid cotton instead.
