Hip-huggers are a style of pants worn by both men and women, generally made of denim and fitted tightly around the hips and thighs, while flaring out towards the lower leg.

Hip-huggers are worn in a variety of different styles, sometimes "riding" low to expose the buttocks to varying degrees. There are also variations of hip-huggers created with a material designed to stretch and tighter fitting stretch materials that vary in color. Hip-hugger jeans were popular during the 1960s and into the early 1980s. The hip-huggers of the 60s and 70s can be distinguished from those of the 90s by the tightness of the knee.

Hip-hugger jeans are not to be confused with Hip Hugger underwear, a form of female panties or swimwear that fit snugly around the hip reducing visible panty line.

Hip-huggers were first designed by Irene Kasmer in 1957 for Ardee. Ardee sold the hip-hugger all over the world.
