Taking care of your women’s jeans helps lock in their fit, colour, and character so they keep looking great wear after wear. Generally, to keep women's jeans looking fresh, wash them inside out on a gentle cold-water cycle and avoid harsh detergents that could impact fabric integrity. Hang them up to air dry in an airy and shady spot and then fold or hang on a pant coat hanger to maintain shape and fit. These expert tips should help preserve the fit and colour so you can wear your favourite pair of jeans for longer. However, please refer to the individual care instructions on the product page for further instructions relevant to the product.

The best fabric for women’s jeans will depend on your desired look and comfort requirements. At Target, our women’s denim jeans are often crafted from cotton for a breathable, durable and comfortable feel for all-day wear.

The amount in which your women’s jeans will stretch over time comes down to its composition. If you are searching for a relaxed or baggy fit, we’d recommend sizing up. Or, for a structured and tailored finish, shop your standard size.

Rigid jeans crafted from our ‘zero-stretch’ or ‘airy denim’ fabrications start firm and will stretch slightly and mould to the shape of your body over time. While women’s jeans with elastane and stretch will provide instant stretch.

The rise determines where a pair of jeans will sit on your waist and refers to the distance from the crotch seam to the top of the waistband. Low-rise jeans sit low on the hips and is often used to elongate your torso. Mid-rise jeans sit on your waist balancing coverage and support. High-rise jeans sit above the waist to create the illusion of longer legs. Choosing the right women’s jean rise will depend on your desired look, fit and feel.

If you’re in between women’s jean sizes, the right option for you depends on your desired fit and feel. For a relaxed fit opt for the size up and for a more tailored look choose the size down, as denim can often stretch over time to your body.

Denim lengths are tailored to different body types for a more flattering fit. Petite jeans often feature a shorter inseam (around 72cm) and narrow rises for women under 160cm tall. Regular jeans suit average heights with a standard inseam measurement. Plus-size jeans have a larger inseam for a more flattering and comfortable fit.
