The Best Brands for Petite Women Who Live in Denim
As much as most of us live in denim daily, finding jeans that fit us perfectly isn’t always easy. This is especially true for women of shorter stature, for whom finding the right cut and length to fit their frame can be even more challenging. Some brands do a terrific job of addressing the denim needs of those 5'3" and under, swapping out the standard 32" seam for something closer to 28." So if you're looking to refresh your denim wardrobe without having to plan an extra trip to the tailor, these are the brands (you already love) that boast quality jeans for the shorter set. Below are the best petite jean brands on the market right now—plus the exact cuts we're coveting from each label.
