If you have thick thighs and are on the shorter side, I highly recommend these jeans. They say they're midrise and they hit me slightly above the belly button. I'm 5'3, 170 pounds. I just wish they satlower, but they fit perfectly in the size 33, inseam 30. I did not find them too big as other reviewers are saying, i think they mean "bigger" in the sense the thigh area is much more roomier than a regular 501 highrise. I would like to get more of these, but I'm hesistant only because I'm in the middle of my weight loss journey - in a year I'd love to grab more pairs in different colors, same inseam of 30.
