These high waist pants from Zara have been a hot ticket item for years. You can find top bloggers and influencers everywhere wearing these popular pants. What’s all the hype about? Based on photos, these pants are practically perfect in every way. They hit perfectly at the waist and are tailored in a flattering way.
The photos were enough to convince me to try these pants, but I never really had a reason to buy pants. It wasn’t until I started my new job that I started thinking about buying new pants. I bought a couple pairs before finally buying the pants. My coworker had them in a few different colors and they looked just as amazing on a real life person as on big time bloggers. This was the moment I decided to just go for it.

Zara Pants Review
After trying these pants I can say with confidence they are the best work pants out there. They’re comfortable and so so flattering. In true Zara fashion, these pants run small. I’m usually an X-Small and the Small fit best (not too tight and not too loose). Also note, these pants are great for petites. I’m 5’ 2” and they hit right at the ankle. Keep this in mind if you are taller, as they might be more cropped.
- Run Small – Size Up One Size
- Perfect for Petite
- Comfortable & Ultra Flattering
Where to Buy Tailored High Waist Pants
I think the reason why I waited so long to buy these Zara pants if because there were cheaper pants options available. Not to say these Zara pants are expensive (they’re under $50), just more than I wanted to spend at the time. I now look for these pants on Poshmark before buying directly from Zara. You can find them for more than half off from some sellers.
I’ve also found an almost identical pair of pants available at Kohls for the same price as Zara. But it’s Kohls, so they’re always on sale and cheaper. I’m thinking about purchasing them to see how they compare in size and fit to Zara. They come in petite and regular sizing, and based on reviews run true to size.
The last place you can look for these pants are from Stradivarius. They are also identical to the pants from Zara, and the same price. So while they’re not cheaper, you can check their website (or ASOS) if the original pants sell out.
