Ahead, shop the 22 best petite jeans for women Ive found over the years.
But there are workarounds!
Secondly, she recommends shopping cropped.
Itll mean theyre the right length for you.
This ankle-grazing pair has a 27-inch inseam, which would be a full-length look on petites.
I have a pair from Citizens of Humanity and Mother and theyve both fit me perfectly without tailoring.
It also comes in a variety of washes, from true black to a faded blue-grey.
They have a frayed hem, and work great with flats orballerinas.
Wear something roomier or more relaxed on top to balance out the proportion.
Not only do they hit the ankles perfectly with a 27-inch inseam, but theyre comfortable for all-day wear.
Shop them in a variety of shades, from classic blue and washed black to white and more.
(Id then style these with pointy heels or boots for a leg-lengthening look.)
There are three washes to choose from, but Im most partial to this darker blue.
Theyre full-length, with a tapered leg and high-rise waist.
(Of course, theyre also perfect for weekend wear.)
We like to style these with a pair of boots or high heels for added height.
Note, the inseam on these jeans are on the higher end of the spectrum ( 30).
For the best petite jeans for women at the best price point, look no further than Gap.
I especially like this light-wash vintage version.
Just remember to pay close attention to inseam lengths, as they do vary by style.
Style it with your favoritestriped sweaterand loafers for a no-fuss weekend formula.
Its technically a cropped regular style, but on my frame it fits like a full-length.
Its made of 100% cottonrigid denim that gets better and softer over time.
A word of caution: Size down.
Theyve raised the denims knee placement and adjusted the proportions to feature shorter rises and inseams.
The cropped hem offers a shorter inseam at 27 which is helpful when paired with flats.
The light-wash is equally perfect for summertime when styled with a set of espadrilles and a breezy white blouse.
