I don't think I have a long waist, so I was expecting these jeans to be a little higher. I have a pair of high rise jeans, and these landed about 2 inches below the navel. They are well made and true to color.  I did order a size up (28) and maybe could have even gone to 29. They have a nice give to them. I am returning them for two reasons: 1. I had purchased a pair the same color from Victoria Secret for $32 (These jeans were $167) and was going to return them because they were low rise. I ordered the True Religions hoping they would be a higher rise jean. But I can't tell that the rise on these jeans is that much higher than the low rise from VS, so for the price, I might as well save a little $. 2. I like the softer fabric of the VS jeans,TR jean the fabric is a heavier, coarser fabric, like a Levi jean. Nothing wrong with that, just between the two, I like to soft one better. Would I recommend these jeans? Yes. But try two sizes bigger than you normally would order. Also realize that depending on how long your waist is, this is more of a mid rise jean.

Note: since reviewing this product, they changed the description to read mid-rise.
