Is it me or is it increasingly difficult to find jeans with a "normal" rise??

Am a year post partum, and my shape has changed so most of my older clothes no longer fit.

Going clothes shopping is a nightmare. Am I going crazy or is it increasingly difficult to find jeans without either ridiculously high or super low rises? I am 5ft 3 with a short body, and I held up so many pairs of jeans today where the tops of them would have been up to my boobs!

I don't want to look like either a cartoon character or a teenager!

Any recommendations would be appreciated please!

I have some Levi's Middy Straight jeans which, as the name suggests, have a mid rise.

Agree! Ones I’ve found good are Levi 311/312/314’s, Abercrombie low rise baggy jean (they’re not too low and more of a wide leg) and some of the Uniqlo jeans.

M&S and Levi's.
