My waist is 26in and I have 36in hips. I ordered the Black (with lining) in 27. It's not as slimming as the other one I bought. It's high waisted, but it doesn't fully go up and there's slightly extra room in the crotch area. The bottom of the pants legs are not hemmed so I guess it's nice if you need it to be shorter or if that's the look you want, but it wasn't what I was going for. Overall nice pair of jeans but not as slim fit as I wanted.
