The All in Motion brands from Target has short, regular and long lengths. I have 3 pairs of their flare style pants and love them.

Thanks everybody for your suggestions! I will check them out. I think one of the main problems for me is that all of the tights/leggings these days have that big band around the thickest part of the hips and abs, and I'm looking for something with more of a conventional waist band. I'm going to be 65 in about a month. Maybe I'm getting too old for "tights".

Not even! I'm 74, and I still wear them — either cropped or 7/8 length. Just look for some with no more than 10–12% spandex.

So you're definitely not too old for leggings and not sure there IS an age

Now I haven't purchased any leggings from Ori active ( yet ) but they do offer a regular or "standard" waist band in several styles instead of the wide waistband.

You might post and see what people's thoughts are on them?

I am 66 and wear them everyday to work. I dress them up with sweaters, flats etc. Except in the summer, I go with t-shirts, sweater and my Keds. Right now I have on a flannel shirt and some low boots. I have to be comfortable while working all day. I struggle finding what I like as well. I have tried a lot of brands and the sizing is just so inconsistent.

This is a wildcard but, have you checked out 5 Below? I have found leggings/tights just like you described. And, I have found some at Dollar General too. I'm 5'6" so, again, you may run into the same issues still. Just wanted to throw this in here for you. <3
