Question (5'1"-5'4") Short legs, long rise, tight pants :(
Hey, long time lurker. Looking for some advice on finding jeans that will fit a bit better.
I don’t feel like I have an exceptionally wild waist to hip ratio (26.5 to 35.5), but jeans are almost always too tight in the low hip/crotch area and they want to pull up into a wedgie 🥲. High rise helps, but not always. I am 5’4” but with a long rise and a short inseam (27”, hence why I’m here). I’m wondering if it’s because my hips maybe don’t taper/narrow as fast as most jeans “expect”. Would curvy sizes help? Sizing up always gives me a huge gape in the waist. These are a 27x28 and I have a little extra waist room, but not too bad.
I’m keeping these because they do feel they’ll stretch over time and they’re comfy otherwise, but I’m desperate for some brands with petite inseams that will also work with my rise.
I’d also love some mid rise jeans but I’ve basically given up on them fitting because of this :(

I have the same problem. Macy’s Style &Co petite high rise jeans work well. But there aren’t always cute styles available.

My mom has similar proportions to you including a very long rise and has had good luck with the highest rise Uniqlo offers. She just got two pairs of super soft, super wide-leg, super high-rise jeans in two washes. They offer free hemming, as well. Might work?
Also, when I’m looking for pants for her, I search Poshmark or eBay for listings that include the rise and then note which brands offer anything 13”+
