    Shopping for the perfect pair of jeans can feel like solving a Rubik\u2019s Cube, but for those who are petite (5 feet, 4 inches and under), the search can be extra difficult. Most jeans are modeled on taller figures, so online shopping becomes a guessing game of squinting at the screen and trying to imagine how much longer those jeans will look on you. Sure, you can always take a pair to a tailor for hemming, but wouldn\u2019t it be wonderful to have them fit just right from the get-go?\n<\/p>\n

    According to stylist Jessica Smith, you don\u2019t just have to rely on eyeballing it; by paying attention to the inseam, rise, and opting for petite sizing, you can find the right fit on the first try. As someone who is petite myself, I set out to find the best petite jeans that deliver on that promise. I also recruited other petite editors on my team to test out different styles and brands across body types. Here are the best jeans for petite women that actually fit and flatter our figures.\n<\/p>\n

    Jeans are very personal, so it\u2019s hard to pick the best pair for everybody, but I do think the Ren from Agolde is a universally flattering pick. First, the style straddles the line between straight and wide-leg, giving you the best of both worlds. Because they are specifically designed for petites, the high-waist isn’t too high that it touches your ribcage\u2014which can often be the case with standard jeans. On our tester’s 5-foot-1-inch frame, the hem hits an inch above the ground, which is not too short nor too long. And we\u2019ll admit it\u2014we love the button fly since it has that vintage feel and zero risk of zipping open.\n<\/p>\n

    If you struggle with jeans fitting your hips but gapping at the waist, you need a pair specially designed for curvy figures. Let us introduce you to these Levi\u2019s, which we can confirm don’t gap at the waist. Copy Editor Cher Checchio says they were her first foray into wide-leg jeans after a bit of a hiatus, and she was impressed with how the 25-inch leg opening lengthened her silhouette without being too wide. She went for the 30-inch inseam and found them the ideal length for her 5-foot-2-inch frame. Despite the smoothing tummy panel, these jeans are extremely comfortable and stretchy, so you can wear them every day.\n<\/p>\n

    Cher Checchio, 5-foot-2-inch copy editor:<\/strong> \u201cIf you’re looking for a wide-leg alternative to skinny jeans, opt for this pair that hugs your curves and flatters any hourglass figure. There’s no waist gap, and the medium stretch makes it easy for all-day wear.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Ahh barrel jeans\u2014the trend that has taken over\u2014yet also divided\u2014the internet by storm. If you\u2019re are supporter of the trend and looking for the perfect pair for petites, we recommend this one from Rag & Bone. Byrdie writer Amanda Rosenthal was hesitant to try the trend due to her petite frame, but quickly fell in love with this pair. Instead of drowning her in fabric, the style hugs her curves in all the right places. There\u2019s also no gapping in the waist, a win for curvy women. The cropped cut makes for the perfect length, and the 100% cotton makeup means these feel breathable yet rigid in the best way.\n<\/p>\n

They hug your waist perfectly, and because they are designed to be cropped, the style hits your feet like a normal jean would. They are super comfortable, durable, and will become a timeless staple.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    If the Rag & Bone jeans are for those ready to dive first into the barrel trend, this pair from Madewell is for those still testing the waters. The silhouette is not as curved, so they won\u2019t overwhelm petite figures and can easily pass as mom jeans. This design specifically comes in petite sizes, so it hits right at the ankles and below the belly button. Madewell is known for making quality jeans at an affordable price, and these don’t disappoint with details like the vintage denim and spiraling side seams for an elevated feel.\n<\/p>\n

    Cher Checchio, 5-foot-2-inch copy editor:<\/strong> \u201cThe barrel leg look is quite popular these days, but the silhouette can be difficult to style. Although I’m a fan of the look, I don’t like barrel leg jeans that are too wide and bowed out. That’s why I love these petite Madewell jeans so much! They offer a slight opening that\u2014to me\u2014resembles more of an elevated mom jean.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Some people love the high-waisted, baggy jean trend while others prefer the classic bootcut and low-rise. If you prefer the latter\u2014which, btw, is harder to find these days\u2014we recommend this pair from American-made Just Black Denim. The bootcut magically elongates our figure, especially since the 31-inch inseam grazes above the ground, which helps create the illusion of one long line compared to a cropped style. Sitting right below the button, the low-rise hits our hips at a flattering spot without feeling too revealing. The pair features minimal pockets in the back, yet the curved yoke is working overtime to enhance our backside, which is really all we want in a jean.\n<\/p>\n

    Everyone needs a good pair of polished jeans that they can wear to dressier occasions like the office or a first date. Thanks to the chic wide-leg, lack of distressing, and gorgeous dark washes, this designer pair fits the bill. Made for those under 5 feet, 4 inches, the jeans won’t overpower short frames but instead elongate the figure by hitting your waist at the perfect spot and being long enough to wear with heels. Predominantly cotton with just a touch of stretch, these jeans keep their shape without feeling too stiff or uncomfortable. Yep, you can wear them at your desk all day without regretting it.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    If you don’t think comfortable and jeans belong in the same sentence, that\u2019s likely because you\u2019ve never tried AYR jeans. Fittingly titled \u201cThe Secret Sauce,\u201d these jeans are shockingly comfortable thanks to the brand\u2019s signature super soft denim, making us think there is something in the LA waters\u2014or factory\u2014that distinguishes them from the rest. Besides the comfort factor, these jeans earn points by offering three different inseam lengths, with the S being ideal for those who are petite. On our 5-foot-4-inch tester, the hem just touches the floor, so they can be styled with anything from flats and sneakers to boots and kitten heels.\n<\/p>\n

    While Kendrick Lamar may have put the world back on flare jeans, the reality is that petite girlies have loved them way before. If there\u2019s one style of jeans our petite friends have consistently recommended, it\u2019s the Mother Weekender Fray. We consider it the perfect flare\u2014the silhouette plays up your curves without being too exaggerated that it looks like you\u2019re cosplaying the 1970s. Soft and stretchy, the denim blend hugs your curves without losing shape or sagging over time. The regular inseam fits us perfectly on my 5-foot-3-inch frame, though the brand offers a petite version as well.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

That’s why I love these flares from Mother. The slim fit shows off my legs and elongates my figure, while the details like the fading and curved yoke play up my curves. I’ve had so many petite friends recommend Mother Jeans, and now I know why.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    No, we haven\u2019t forgotten about straight and skinny jeans, which still serve a valuable purpose in our closets (Think tucked into boots)! This style has that vintage ’90s feel thanks to the rigid fabric that has just the slightest touch of stretch. The brand\u2019s signature magic pockets help support and smooth you out\u2014which is crucial in a formfitting style\u2014while the mid-rise creates the illusion of longer legs.\n<\/p>\n

    \n

    Ally Hirschlag, 5-foot-4-inch associate editorial director:<\/strong> \u201cI’d say they’re between a straight leg and a skinny leg on me, but they definitely fit comfortably (think your favorite worn in denim). Love that they’re mid-rise and hit right at my waist. But the best part?

    What to Look for in Petite Jeans <\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • Inseam: <\/strong>If a pair of jeans is dragging on the ground, that’s usually because the inseam is too long. The inseam is the measurement from the base of your zipper to the bottom of your leg opening, Smith says. Petite style expert Chi Li explains that skinny jeans should have an inseam between 24 and 26 inches, while a straight-leg jean is perfect between 25 and 27 inches for petites. Meanwhile, flares and wide-leg jeans can be a bit longer, somewhere between 26 and 30 inches. If you have a favorite pair of pants, you can measure their inseam to hone in on the length you prefer.<\/li>\n
    • Rise:<\/strong> While choosing a rise\u2014where the pant hits you on the torso\u2014ultimately comes down to what you feel comfortable and confident in, Smith points out there are different pros and cons to each. \u201cWhen it comes to jeans, low-rise tends to make hips look wider and legs look shorter. This is not always the friendliest fit for petite women. On the other hand, mid-rise jeans are generally a go-to for petite women. This rise keeps the body proportionate and creates a slimming silhouette,\u201d says Smith. \u201cIf you\u2019re looking to elongate your legs, high-waisted denim is your choice. The higher rise lengthens your waistline and provides definition and balance to your ensemble.\u201d<\/li>\n
    • Wash: <\/strong>\u201cDark wash denim is the perfect in-between colorway and flattering on an array of figures. Medium wash denim is known to be the most seasonless of the bunch and a staple amongst denim fanatics,\u201d says Smith. \u201cThe most versatile denim wash award goes to our favorite black denim. Why? It\u2019s best for elongating legs and goes from casual to cocktail hour in a snap.\u201d<\/li>\n
    • Reviews and Size Guide: <\/strong>When shopping for jeans online, read customer reviews and use the model as a guide to help you gauge whether they fit true to size. You can also measure your inseam for a more exact comparison. Using the measurement you recorded, you can filter through reviews and use the brand’s size chart to find your best match.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      To find the best jeans for petite women, we recruited several editors who identified as petite to try out different denim brands and styles. We wore the petite jeans in our everyday lives for several months and took note of the following:\n<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Fit: <\/strong>First, we chose jeans that fit us without tailoring. That doesn’t just mean not being too long\u2014we also paid attention to gaping at the waist, a rise that fit just right, and the correct placement of pockets and fading.<\/li>\n
      • Durability: <\/strong>After regular wearing and washing, we evaluated how well the jeans held up. We eliminated pairs that were too stretched out, ripped, or faded drastically.<\/li>\n
      • Comfort: <\/strong>We selected jeans that were comfortable enough to wear all day while still offering enough support to not sag after several hours.<\/li>\n
      • Versatility: <\/strong>As petite testers, we’re used to having pants we can only wear with high heels. So we looked for pairs that were the perfect length that we could wear with both short and low heels for maximum versatility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

          \n

          Now that more brands are offering petite sizing, you may wonder if it’s better to stick to petite styles or opt for regular jeans with shorter inseams. While it ultimately depends on the pair and what you feel best in, petite sizing can offer a better fit overall. \u201cShort sizing in jeans refers to shorter inseam lengths for people with shorter legs. Petite sizing, on the other hand, goes beyond shorter inseam lengths,\u201d says fashion writer and creator Kelsey-Marie Pitse. \u201cPetite sizing takes into account the overall proportions of shorter people, including altered pocket placement, narrower waistbands, and adjusted rise measurements.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n

          Like Smith says, a high-rise jean can help you look taller by creating the illusion of a higher waist and longer legs. If you are open to wearing heels, you can opt for bootcut or flare jeans that cover your shoes and end just above the ground. Unlike a cropped cut, this doesn’t cut off your legs from your feet and instead creates one long line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
