Petite Jeans FAQs
Petite jeans are specifically designed for women who are 5'4" and under. They feature a shorter inseam, a proportionally higher knee placement, and an adjusted rise to fit a shorter torso. These design tweaks give our petite jeans a flattering fit without needing alterations, providing versatile style and comfort tailored to smaller frames.
Just as with regular jeans, it’s all about style preference and fit. Styles like petite skinny jeans or petite flare jeans can help lengthen the look of your legs, while high-waisted options like those in the Good '90sOpens in a new window or Soft-Tech DenimOpens in a new window collections enhance your silhouette. Petite straight jeansOpens in a new window can also be flattering on smaller frames because of their clean lines and body-hugging material.
If you’re looking for a looser fit, don’t worry—you don’t have to shy away from relaxed-fit jeans just because you’re petite. Our 90’s jeans in petite sizesOpens in a new window are an iconic option thanks to their loose, straight legs and distressed knees, and they’re specially designed with a lower rise and shorter legs.
The main difference between petite and regular jeans is the proportion and length. Regular jeans are designed for tall or average heights, which results in a poor fit for women with petite builds, not to mention pant legs dragging on the ground. Petite jeans prevent dragging hems and awkward fits, hugging curves in all the right spots for confident comfort.
For curvy petites, a bit of stretch and a high-rise waist can work wonders. Petite flare jeans, petite wide-leg jeans, and Soft-Tech Good Petite JeansOpens in a new window blend comfort and contouring. But the most straightforward answer? Wear what works best for your unique style and body and gives you the confidence of a perfect fit.
