Jane Fray Hem High Waist Denim Shorts

So I am 51, and currently gone through lots of hormonal changes. Sadly, I put on a good 7 pounds and not quite as fit as I used to be (5’7 - 140). Prior to my weight gain, I was a standard 27 (sz 4/6) in most pants. Sometimes even going down to a 26. I was a little worried that I would need to go up a size so I ordered both a 4 and 6. Surprisingly, the 4 has been very comfortable, running a touch big. I do find that they are not high-rise, however, I do have a long torso. They fit mid rise on me & tend to stretch out slightly when wearing but overall very good length and do not feel snug. I’m very happy with the purchase.

These are mid rise at best. I have several Kut high rise jeans that I absolutely love. I'm pear shaped, with my hips 10 inches larger than my waist, and the Kut high rise jeans really cinch the waist while being roomy for my hips. These are the opposite. They were a little tight in the hips, but there was a big waist gap. And the waist hits below the belly button. Quality is nice and the length is good, but definitely not "high waist" as described.
