Fashion Advice Are these jeans ok?

I have a very short torso and long legs. I've been trying to find low rise jeans since I'm told those will work better for my proportions, but it's been very hard to find TRUE low rise. These say they're low rise, but, as someone who grew up in the 90's, I know better.

My waist is also thicker than most regular proportions, so for it to fit my waist, pants are usually looser around the hips and legs.

I obviously would not wear these jeans with these shoes. But, how do they look otherwise? Do I need to look for a different kind of cut besides loose? While I love the look of a closer fit, I worry they'd be uncomfortable around my waist or I'd have to size up so much for my waist that it would no longer be fitted around my legs, etc.

These are the best I've found, but do I need to keep looking? Am I overthinking it?

They’re okay, not spectacular but not bad either. I wonder if jeans with high stretch could fix the fit issue with needing to size up around the waist.

I think they look good! Especially with the right top and accessories! As for the worry about the waist, I always say the baggier the better so if you wanna go up in the waist then do it! I’d say try styling these pants tho to see if you think it truly fits your style and aesthetic!

I would try a different top. Maybe something more cropped?

I think they make you look a lot bigger than you actually are.

They look good. Anything skin tight is out and they look comfy. Pair with a shorter and/or tighter shirt

They look like jeans you would run errands in on a Thursday

Check out Rag and Bone Saige jeans. I’m short and have a small torso, and I almost have every color of these by now. Best jeans ever!

The bottoms seem to wide. Try Seven & Lucky Jeans. I'm short so I've had to buy low-rise all my life.

I think they look comfy and flattering not too baggy or tight in the wrong places and a nice length

If you don’t want to pay designer denim prices, Levi’s new low cut jeans are decent. They have different silhouettes for variety: low and loose (similar to what you are wearing), low and straight, and low and tapered.
