Are you wondering what the best jeans for short women are?

I got all the answers in this guide!

One of the most frequent questions you ask is where to buy jeans for short women, which ones to buy, and whether petite women can wear banana jeans.

Therefore, I prepared an article review in which I will show jeans for girls and women of short stature, as well as advice on choosing and examples of current styling.

Jeans styles for short women

  • Straight jeans are an essential fit that suits almost everyone. Ideally, choose one without scuffs, without holes, and without a yellow undertone if we are talking about blue ones. The easiest way will be to combine white, black, blue and gray.
  • Ideally, they should have a medium or high waist. Ankle-length, opening it up a bit. The bottom edge may not be finished. They can be either slim (not to be confused with skinny) or a little looser.
  • Culottes are still relevant. However, you need to be careful with them and build proportions in the image that stretch the height as they expand the silhouette. How to do this: I will tell you in the webinar 25 ways to look above.
  • Ideally, wear jeans with heels or shoes that do not contrast with the color of the feet. Choose models with a high rise and emphasize the waist in images if this technique suits your figure.
  • And also build images in monochrome. By the way, in the summertime, a good alternative to denim culottes is denim Bermuda shorts.

P.S.: Check out these tips for the best jean shorts for petite women here.

  • Slim mom or new mom. They replaced the mom jeans that had already become familiar to us. Unlike the latter, they are narrower in the leg area but still do not fit the shin area.
  • Low-rise or high-rise wide-leg jeans. It’s not the best option for miniature ones for several reasons. Firstly, a low seating position will visually shorten the legs, which means the entire silhouette will seem squat. Secondly, such jeans should be wide and to the floor, while a fold is often formed – this makes the legs visually even shorter.
  • And the extra width, again, “pulls” the figure down. Of course, this model is fashionable, and if you really want to, you can create an image that does not greatly distort the figure and even looks good.
  • For example, monochrome + heel + one more technique for correcting height. But this requires knowledge, skills, free time to experiment, and, most likely, specially selected items for these jeans. I see no reason to bother so much, especially when there is an alternative.
  • Slouchy and bananas have replaced the boyfriend style. Many stylists do not recommend buying them as miniature ones. But I disagree with them.
  • Since such jeans must be chosen based on the entire geometry of the figure, height here plays the very last role. Then, the problem of height is solved if the sleeves are from the petite line.
  • Rather than these jeans, I would recommend choosing slim girls, as they create volume. Since there are many features with them, I decided to talk about them in more detail.

How to wear slouchy/banana jeans

Of the advantages of this style, I can note that with their help you can create the illusion of a thin waist.

This is a great option for slender girls with a “boyish” figure when the waist is not very pronounced.

However, such jeans can be afforded by quite a few different girls and women, if you follow simple rules.

Open your ankle to reveal the thinnest and most graceful part of your leg. In general, this technique is highly desirable to use when you are wearing oversized.

Jeans must sit at the waist, and the waist is emphasized. If you have a flat and beautiful belly, you can use crop tops.

Note: Here is a fascinating tip on how to make jeans’ waist smaller if your jeans are not as perfect in that body part.

It is better to choose shoes for such jeans in the color of the skin of the legs, and even better with at least a small heel.

These jeans are more suitable for the spring and summer periods, as they usually do not look very good with bulky outerwear.

These rules will suit everyone, but what specific top to choose, whether you can specifically wear such a model – these are already questions that require a detailed analysis of your figure and the choice of correction techniques that are right for you.

For details on how to choose suitable styles, how to analyze and correct any area in the figure (even the neck, legs, and arms).

Where to buy jeans for short women

Asos Petite – a perfect place to shop in the petite section.

The best jeans that almost never need any kind of adjustment in regards to the length.

Mostly budget jeans for a height below 160 cm are presented here.

Free returns are a huge plus of this online store, so when ordering from it, you risk nothing.

The second plus is that in addition to its own ASOS Petite brand, the store has quite a wide range of brands Topshop Petite, budget Boohoo Petite and Missguided Petite.

Zara – there are jeans with a length less than usual. Unfortunately, the choice is very small. There is also H&M, but the choice there in the petite line is very poor.

Stradivarius – I don’t know how offline, but the online store definitely has jeans from the petite line.

There are trendy slim mom as well as straight jeans. I advise you to pay attention to them. When choosing a size, remember to choose the length of the petite.

Mango – there are small jeans here. But it is petite that is not. But there are many models who are likely to sit on short stature. Especially straight models with a raw hem.

Recently, at Mango, some models in sizes XS and S sit on low ones. And also look into the children’s section.

For example, I found their cool and not at all “childish” Slouchy white culottes for a height of 152 cm!

Since I am writing this article while working from home, like a lot of people from all over the world, I highly recommend shopping online!

First, it’s safe – many stores offer contactless shipping and extended return times!

Secondly, it is often more profitable: things in the sales area are more “shabby”, you do not pay for the trip or travel, plus discounts are more often available in online stores.

Online stores where you can find jeans for small stature

Etsy – I found a pretty store for short women that sells vintage Levis and Lee jeans. here, it is very modest in terms of assortment from the petite line.

Hopefully, the store will expand its lineup for the shorter ones over time!

Jcrew petite, here you can find basic low-rise jeans of good quality.

This is the middle price segment.

Madewell – a huge selection of denim for short women.

Special thanks to the brand for having a scale for how much jeans stretch.

This allows you to choose the most comfortable fit and wear models. By the way, here you can find denim models in petite plus size.

Hope this post was helpful to you. I would be glad if you shared it with short friends!

Sharing is caring!
