These are low rise jeans which will add shape. Yes, they are 32 inches in waist length but I found these to be a bit too thigh-hugging. The color is good and they fall well around the ankles, I just had difficulty walking and doing daily activities. Maybe I should try a size big but then all my other jeans (even other Levi's I own are 32")

I wore them with brown clovers and although they looked good, I felt very uncomfortable. Do make sure you try them out a few times before deciding to keep them. They're tight (for lack of a more apt word)
