2 Chic Ways to Style Spanx High-Waisted Flare Jeans
I practically live in white jeans during the summer. They’re just easy—light fresh, and they make everything from a casual tee to a blouse and blazer look classy. So when I spotted this flared high-waisted pair from Spanx, I was curious to see how they’d measure up.
What I found was a modern take on a classic 7o shape that is easy to wear, gives you confidence, and makes you look like you have long supermodel legs.
Spanx Makes More Than Just Leggings
Most women think of Spanx as the place to go for leggings or shapewear, but they’ve really expanded their denim game in recent years. They now offer a full line of jeans featuring the same flattering technology built in—such as their signature Sculpting Waistband and Hidden Core Shaping Technology.
What does that mean in real life? A smooth front, no muffin top, and just the right amount of hold to make you feel supported without feeling squeezed.
One of my favorite pairs? These high-waisted white flare jeans. They give you that clean, streamlined look while still being soft and stretchy, and they keep everything snug without being tight.
They’re part of a growing trend of flattering high-rise jeans for women over 50 that don’t sacrifice comfort. If you’re looking for smooth jeans, stretch, and still feel stylish, these Spanx EveryWear white Flare jeans are a great place to start.

Why White Flare Jeans Are a Fun Change of Pace
We all fall into denim routines—skinny, straight, cropped. But flares? They’re trending, and they’re more wearable than you might think. This Spanx pair is pull-on (no buttons, no bulk), which means they hug your shape in all the right places without feeling tight or fussy. And because they’re white, they add a little brightness to whatever you pair them with. Today I’m sharing two ways to style them, one which might surprise you!

How to Style Spanx High-Waisted Flare Jeans
Look 1: Nautical-Inspired Simplicity
These pants, with their big sailor flares, have a natural nautical vibe. So, I chose to go with a ship-shape navy and white color scheme. I styled the jeans with a navy-draped blouse and simple gold jewelry. A block-heel sandal maintains the right proportions with the flared leg, and the overall effect is polished yet not stuffy. You could easily swap in a nautical striped tee or a breezy linen top if that’s more your style.
Look 2: Shirtdress + Jeans = Unexpectedly Chic
Still not comfy in white pants if you have a bit of a midlife middle? Try this. Wear ar these white, high-waist, flared jeans. You heard me. Dresses over pants is a big trend that even I had difficulty getting my head around until I experimented and tried this look. Because a shirt dress is like a long shirt, this looks fabulous. Belt it and leave the last button or two undone.
These pants are long, so you will need heels. Flats won’t work with these pants! I suggested a chunky block heel or a thick wedge, such as a cork or rope wedge sandal.
Sizing Notes
If you’re trying Spanx jeans for the first time, consider sizing up. I typically wear a size 6, but I take a medium in these. They also run long, which works great with heels, wedges, or platforms. If you’re petite, you’ll likely need to hem them or opt for tall shoes.
