The Jeans Shopping Guide For Petite Women

by Aaron Kok  /   November 8, 2017

Jeans are a woman’s hardworking best friend, but what happens when you’re too small for most off-the-rack designs? That’s a reality that many denim providers are slowly responding to, with their improved selection of jeans made for petite women.

In the past, you’d have to buy something already available, then spend a good hour in front of a mirror trying all of them on for your tailor to make amends (it was either that or have it drag behind you on the floor). That’s why we all love that retailers are slowly rolling out more petite-friendly options for women under the 1.6m height-marker.

Check out these six pairs of jeans that will fit and fulfill everything you wanted for your denim wardrobe, without having to pay a visit to your tailoring shop.

The Jeans Shopping Guide For Petite Women
1. Petite slim boyfriend jean in Silverwood wash, $247.10, from J.Crew.

You’re looking at your new classic here. Boyfriend jeans are tricky for petite women to pull off, but the offering that J.Crew has gives you a more tailored fit and a higher waist, which means your legs look longer and the jeans doesn’t overwhelm you.

2. Mid rise perfect boot jeans, $96, from Gap

The boot cut is generally a more forgiving cut, especially if you are looking to cheat your proportions and elongate your figure. Plus, a darker wash allows you to easily dress it up.

3. Rich indigo Jamie jeans, $89.90, from Topshop

Skinny jeans are awesome because you can literally wear them with everything and to every occasion that might arise! The most common mistake that petite women have is to buy regular-sized jeans and have the excess material scrounge up at their ankles. This not only looks sloppy, it actually makes you look shorter and stumpy.

Which is why we recommend these jeans from Topshop. They graze the ankles, and fit you like a glove.

4. Split hem Jamie jeans, $106, from Topshop

That added split hem is not only super flattering, it’s also great for pairing this pair of jeans with high cut sneakers or a pair of boots.

5. High waist slim Mom jeans in hazel soft acid wash with arched raw hem, $68, from ASOS
image

Definitely on the trendier spectrum of denim trends, have a little bit of fun with this pair of distressed denim jeans. Pair it with a muscle tee or your husband’s shirt for a cool, LA-inspired look.

6. Black embellished Frankie jeans, $76.90, from Dorothy Perkins
image

One of the woes of being petite is that most of the time, you have to lop off a good chunk of the hemline, which means that anything interesting that happens below the knees automatically get’s truncated.

Which is why you’ll love these embellished skinnies from Dorothy Perkins. Because they’re already sized to fit petite shoppers, you don’t have to worry about having to cut off too much of the hem—which is where the drama’s at.
