These have an 8 1/2" rise I think. Anyway they are looser at top & tighter in the leg. This makes it better for me as I usually have muffin top in jeans. The only question is, are they too skinny in the leg? The next size up is too big at the top. I could wear these at home tonight to see if they stretch out a bit.
If anyone is interested they are the Vince welt pocket skinny. They come in dark olive & blue denim & are on sale as part of NAS. I know Shiny was interested in 9" rise. I think they are listed as that but maybe that is for a bigger size than I have.
I have plenty of relaxed sized up skinnies since I lost weight so I am not looking for that in these jeans.
I bought the blue denim as well, after swearing off it due to it rubbing off on things. I don't want to ruin burberry belt or coat or be stuck wearing only black handbags. I bought them anyway in case they discontinue the style before making them in other colours.
Pic 1 & 2 size 26
Pic 3 size 27, they don't look too big but feel like they will slide down as I wear them.
It seems all skinnies are super skinny these days, like down the calf area. I used to buy ones that were still skinny but not as skinny, but then they had a lower rise & muffin. I can't win.
Sorry for the sports bra shot but I wanted to show the lack of muffin for those who have the same problem as me with jeans. I will take these pics down eventually.
