Stretch Wool Trousers

I have several older pairs of Theory pants in the Demetria, Treeca, and a straight leg style, which I loved, but there is something off about these. The rise is too high for me, hitting above my belly button in size 0, and the waist is almost 2 inches too big, while the hips fit. Taking the pants in would make the pockets too close, and it bunched funny in the front because of the rise. Granted, I am petite at 5'2", but I never had this problem with Theory before. I also think the light grey pants need a lining given how lightweight the fabric is.

At 5’9, the length is perfect with a small heel. Gives a slender, elongated look (more so than wide leg pleated pants) on my frame.
