As someone who is 4’11”, shopping for jeans is a constant struggle. Finding clothes that fit can be a challenge, especially if the brands you like don’t make specialty petite sizing. When it comes to jeans, the biggest problem is usually length, but it doesn’t end there. Some petite women also struggle with waist sizing due to the proportions of jeans being created for a different body type.

If hemming every single pair of jeans to a proper length sounds a little exhausting — we got you. No more considering shopping in the kids’ section, and no more chopping off the ends of your jeans hoping that the frayed look never goes out of style.

We are here to help you find full-length jeans that will actually fit, flare jeans that are proportionally perfect for you, and jeans that have all the fun details that tall girls get to wear. Below, we picked out the best petite jeans from our favorite denim fit experts from Topshop, Joe's Jeans, NYDJ, Paige, and more. Scroll to shop them now.
