Wide leg jeans not high waist

Looking for some that would suit a size 6 5ft3 (I don’t normally get petite length just regular unless massively long!)? I hate high waist as I’ve a short torso and long legs 😂

Try Boden.

I think they might have some mid rise in the sale as I bought and returned a pair a few weeks back.

If anyone knows somewhere that sells jeans for short torso people please let me know. I’m 5’2” but short torso. Most places just do short leg and don’t adjust the waist height. Even petite range high waist is as the bottom of my ribs. So frustrating

Having tried on several high waisted pairs that nearly cut me in half I got a pair from Fat Face. Really pleased with them...Elise I think...?

Same here at 5’4” but short torso. I have the M&S wide leg jeans, regular, and they almost come up under my armpits 😁

I have @Secondaryschoolstress I have exactly this same problem. Watching with interest.

I've just ordered a pair from m&s. They're called slouchy mid rise wide leg.

Also watching for exactly the same reason!

Have you tried Pixie Girl? I'm 5'2" and their jeans are perfect for me. All their clothing is designed for shorter women and the proportions are good. Worth a try maybe.

My experience is that the whole garment is altered so the rise is shortened. But if you have a specifically short torso then you'll be in the same boat as tall people with short torso's. They shorten the rise but not specifically for short torso

To my surprise I got some nice wide legged ( not high waisted ) quite funky in Bon Marche

They have a range similar to Monterey , they fit me nicely - 5ft 3 , size 12
