I know OT but I basically post here...

I love my Soho Skinny by DKNY - Not sure if this qualifies as pocket higher up but I love the fit of these jeans. Definitely my favorite pair of jeans!

Honestly you just need to go out and try on a bunch of jeans.

What fits one person perfectly doesn't look so great on others. Even if you stick with one brand, they will have different styles, lengths and will also fit totally differently.

There's nothing like a good pair of jeans....but it's hit or miss.

I think it really depends on your body shape.

I lost my behind and gained it in the waist. My favorite is Diane Gilman's jeans. I really like the new super stretch material. I bought a couple of pairs of her skinny jeans and they look really good. My sister-in-law even said the jeans looked good and she never tells anyone they look good.

I have several pairs of her other jeans and I like them as well. But I will say, that it might take 2 or 3 tried to get the right fit.

Thank you. I am going to try the Soho. I have tried the Diane Gilman only problem is they stretched in the butt after wearing ..not a good look. And yes I agree you have to try jeans yourself. Just thought I see what jeans were ""popular"" and go from there. Maybe jeans aren't being worn that much anymore?

Gloria Vanderbilt jeans at Kohl's have the higher placed back pocket.

I don't think jeans are going anywhere, I see them on all ages. Of course, many do love their leggings/jeggings, too.

The best thing to do (if you have access) is to spend a day shopping, trying on jeans. Wear something that is easy to get on and off and try as many brands as possible.

They are worth every penny. I don't know whether they fit the OP's requirement for higher pockets, but they are the only jeans I buy. I also have their cords and crops.
