For a relaxed, loose silhouette, Old Navy’s High-Waisted OG Loose is the clearest match among the styles reviewed: the brand says it sits at the belly button and is loose through the hip and thigh. If you want a higher waist and a wide leg, the Extra High-Waisted Wide-Leg has that combination, though its listing showed it out of stock when checked. This is a specifications-based guide, not an editor wear test; product details and customer comments below are attributed to Old Navy.
How Old Navy defines high rise
Old Navy’s 2026 denim fit guide distinguishes two rises: its high-rise jeans measure 9–9.5 inches and sit at the belly button; extra-high-rise jeans measure 10–10.5 inches and sit a bit above it. These are brand specifications, not independent measurements. Check the individual product page as well, because rise and fit vary by style. Old Navy’s denim fit guide

Prices, stock, sizes, ratings and review totals can change. Treat the OG Loose price and availability above as a snapshot, not a promise of current availability. The fit guide says its compared styles come in sizes 0–30 plus petite and tall, but that does not establish that every size or inseam is offered for every style; check the options on the specific listing.
Which style fits your preference?
Choose OG Loose for ease through the hip and thigh
The OG Loose is the most direct pick here if you want a relaxed jean rather than a close-fitting thigh. Old Navy describes it as a loose, relaxed take on its OG Straight and lists medium stretch. Product details include a button front, belt loops, zip fly, front scoop pockets, back patch pockets, a front seam and “secret-smooth” front pockets. The retailer’s listed fabric is 94% cotton, 5% recycled cotton and 1% spandex; it advises machine washing according to the care label. See the OG Loose listing
#1 Best Overall
Choose Wide-Leg for more rise and a wider leg
The Extra High-Waisted Wide-Leg combines an above-the-belly-button rise with a wide leg and relaxed hip and thigh. The listing describes a contoured extra-high-rise waistband, button closure, zip fly, scoop and coin pockets, and back patch pockets. It lists cotton denim with 94% cotton, 5% recycled cotton and 1% spandex, and recommends machine washing cold and tumble drying low. Its listing was out of stock when accessed, so check whether it is currently available before planning a purchase. See the Wide-Leg listing
Consider OG Straight only after checking its current listing
The Higher High-Waisted Button-Fly OG Straight is a possible direction if you prefer a straight leg and a higher rise, but the retrieved page did not expose readable fit or inseam specifications and showed the style out of stock. Do not assume its measurements or current availability from its name alone. Check the OG Straight listing

How to choose an inseam and compare fit
Inseams differ substantially even between the two styles with visible specifications: OG Loose runs 30.5 inches regular, 28.5 petite and 33.5 tall, while Wide-Leg runs 27, 25 and 31 inches respectively. Those numbers are style-specific. Compare the inseam on the exact wash and cut you intend to buy rather than assuming the same label—regular, petite or tall—means the same length across styles.
- Rise: Decide whether you want the waistband at the belly button or above it, using Old Navy’s rise bands as a guide.
- Leg shape: Match straight versus wide or loose to the silhouette you want.
- Hip and thigh: The OG Loose is described as loose through both; the Wide-Leg is described as relaxed. Look for the exact style wording if you want a closer fit.
- Stretch: OG Loose is listed as medium stretch. Do not infer the stretch level of another cut from its fiber blend alone.
- Length and size: Verify inseam and selectable sizes on the specific product page; availability differs by style.
What customer feedback can—and cannot—tell you
Old Navy’s fit guide includes individual customer testimonials, not a representative survey or editor testing. Sharayah W. wrote of the OG Straight: “I was pumped to find the OG Straight! I’d been wanting that ’90s look, and these fit the bill. They’re incredibly comfortable!” Another customer, Adri T., wrote about the Rockstar Super-Skinny with 360° Stretch: “The Rockstar Super-Skinny with 360° Stretch fits just perfect. Love the high waist, and they have lots of stretch without losing their shape.” These comments describe those customers’ experiences with different styles; they do not establish how the OG Loose or Wide-Leg will fit every shopper.
