It can be just as difficult to find the right pair of jeans as it is to search for swimwear or lingerie. There are so many options for cuts, washes and rises.
The search for petite people (or those under 5’4″) can be more difficult. Online shopping is a guessing game. Most jeans are designed for taller people so it’s easier to shop online. You can always send a pair of jeans to a tailor to be hemmed, but wouldn’t you love them to arrive exactly as they are?

You can wear any color or cut if you have the right length. Smith says that for petite wearers, it all comes down to the length. Smith suggests taking into account scale and proportion to choose an inseam to balance your favorite jeans.

Levi’s has been the leading denim brand for more than 100 years. They have been able adapt to new trends over the years while still keeping their heritage.

Levi’s has jeans for every style, and also offers a variety of prices with its premium line. The company also offers a variety of inseams, which is a key feature for petite customers. Every jean search should start at Levi’s. This pick is perfect because of the shorter inseam and ankle-length design.
