Re: THE BEST JEANS FOR PETITE WOMEN

I'm 4'11" and I exclusively wear Express high waisted skinny jeans in the short inseam or ankle inseam.  I love Express jeans so much that I have about 40 pairs of the exact same hgih waisted skinny jean in different washes and some with fun embroidery.  The short inseam is perfect for me and I don't need them shortened Smiley Happy.  These jeans fit like a glove! So flattering Smiley Happy

I'm 5'2" but I can't wear petite jeans because they are too short in the rise.  So I have to buy regular jeans and shorten the length of the legs.  Every. single. time.

Good  question.

I have a few pairs of St John's Bay in Petite 6S (  that's size 6 small)  and I paid $20.99+tx. each.

 

They have others but I like the fit of this brand, and it has a bit of stretch, but not too much. I bought them in denim, blue colors.

Is that a reasonable price?

Have any of you tried a Tall size in a crop jean? Inseam is 27.

 

I have a normal rise but maybe a Tall is longer? Sometimes a petite inseam is 28 or 29. I used to be 5 5' but am 5 3'.

Re: THE BEST JEANS FOR PETITE WOMEN

I’m in a funny spot-5’4 1/4” regular length too long but I did find Gloria Vanderbilt jeans with stretch in 4S and 6S work fine and usually 40% off at Macys.
