Hi everyone! I am 5'2 and I am searching for some good midrise/lowrise jeans because highwaisted makes me look weird. However I dont know any good quality brands that are also affordable, and offer good sizing for my height. I heard Levis 501s and Madewell jeans are popular but I am unsure because there are so many options. Thanks everyone!

With such a short torso, high rise jeans look tacky on me. But I struggling to find mid-rise jeans that aren’t skinny jeans😩

I love the fit of the Abercrombie ankle straight jeans, but hate how high waisted they are.

Any leads on my unicorn pair?? Ideally:

• 25” inseam, but could do up to a 26.5” if everything else about them was perfect!

• Mid-Rise

• I prefer at least a little stretch

• Somewhere with a storefront or an online shop with easy/flexible return policy

• $50-$75 is most ideal, but would go $100ish for an amazing pair!

• I am open to other styles of jeans besides straight leg. I don't love overly baggy jeans though and definitely don't want skinny jeans!

For reference, my Abercrombie size is 29, extra short in curve love. I am 5’0” and 132lbs, carrying most weight in my belly

Update: Sorry to leave so many of you hanging for so long lol, but I wish it didn’t take me nearly a year to find an answer worth sharing. These are my 3 favorites right now!

Old Navy Wow Crop Wide Leg These are the darker pair. Baggier and less fitted through the hips. I’m wearing a 6 petite, which is a very generous 6 btw. Garment measures with a 23.5” inseam and 10.5” front rise https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=655904002&tid=onma000014

Old Navy Mid rise OG Straight Ankle These are the lighter, ripped pair. More of a straight/slim fit, which you can definitely see through the hips. Wearing a 6 petite in these as well. Due to their style, they are more fitted than the others. Garment measures with a 25” inseam and 9.5” front rise https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=732291002&tid=onma000014

Abercrombie Ultra High Waisted Ankle Straight (Curve Love) These are the lighter non ripped pair. Also a bit tighter through the hips. Wearing a 29/8 in the curve love style in a short length (The extra short was a bit too short and more of an ankle length on me). So soft, and you cannot beat Abercrombie jeans if willing to pay that for them. If they weren’t as high rise as they are, I would buy a couple more. Garment measures a 24.5” inseam and 12” front rise.
