10 Best Jeans For Short Women - Bustle

Posted: 31 May 2019 02:45 PM PDT

I'm 4 foot 11, which makes shopping for jeans a significant challenge. In the past, I've either had to budget for expensive alterations or simply accept the bunched, excess fabric at my ankle — but since the rise of the internet, the best jeans for short women are infinitely easier to find and purchase. Popular online retailers now offer a much wider selection of lengths and sizes, which is incredible news for especially petite (or tall) people.

Please note that this is not a "which jeans will suit my body-type?" article. Style is subjective, and you should opt for whichever cut and rise you prefer, regardless of your height. For that reason, I'll be focusing primarily on inseam when outlining the best jeans for petite women; whether you prefer skinny high-waisted, a boyfriend cut, or a classic fit, length is the primary quality that makes a jean ideal for short women.

The inseam is the distance between the crotch of the pants down to the hem, and will determine how far the legs reach. (If you're not sure of your inseam, grab a tape measure and find out before you start shopping.) For women who are 5 feet 3 inches or under, a "petite" inseam is considered anywhere from 25 to 28 inches. Of course, the length will differ depending on the style; boyfriend jeans and capris will be closer to 23 inches, while bootcut and flare can be as long as 30 and still be considered "short."

If you're unsure where to find the best jeans for short women, I've researched 10 options in all different styles — and all of them have shorter inseams, so you don't have to tuck, roll, or alter.

1. The Best Skinny Jeans For Short Women (According To TONS Of Reviewers)

Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. Modern Skinny Jeans

Amazon

This pair is a number-one bestseller with over 2,500 reviews. In creating their modern skinny jeans, Signature by Levi Strauss & Co. made an accessible, stylish pair for various sizes and heights. This mid-rise fit is made from primarily cotton with a bit of stretch thrown in, so they're durable and hold their shape all day, but still allow for comfortable wear. It's available in 13 different denim washes, 14 different sizes through plus, and three different lengths including short.

  • Inseam: 27 inches
  • Available Sizes: 2 short — 28 short

2. The Best Plus-Size Petite Jeans

LEE Plus-Size Rebound Skinny Jeans

Amazon

In addition to size options that span up to a 30, LEE Rebound skinny jeans also offer petite options with a 27-inch inseam. The blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex create what reviewers call the "best fitting jeans [they've] ever bought" while still offering "enough stretch for a comfortable feel" — and best of all, there's "no need to hem them." Get them in eight different colors, including a few fun shades like tarmac green, regal purple, and spade gray.

  • Inseam: 27 inches
  • Available Sizes: 16 petite — 30 petite

3. The Most Comfortable Jeans For Short Women

Jag Petite Pull-On Straight Jeans

According to reviewers, Jag straight jeans are the "most comfortable jeans [they] have been able to find anywhere." The pull-on design means no buttons or zippers to jab into your skin, while the stretchier-than-most fabric ensures ease of movement. Finally, despite the fact that these jeans feel more like leggings, the wide waistband, straight-leg fit, and classy color options have buyers wearing them "both for work and when chasing kiddos around."

  • Inseam: 29.5 inches
  • Available Sizes: 0 petite — 16 petite

4. A Pair Of Affordable Petite Jean In Tons Of Colors

Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Tapered Jean

Amazon

Even though they start at just $20 per pair, the Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda jean doesn't skimp on quality — or color and sizing options. This pick has well over 3,000 reviews because buyers love its classic rise, three length options, and durable, stretch fabric. Best of all, you can grab this pair in just about any color you can think of, from sea spray green to wood rose blush. "It is so hard to find petite short that will fit someone under 5," one reviewer says. "These had 26 inseams and were a perfect fit."

  • Inseam: 26 inches
  • Available Sizes: 2 short — 22 short

5. The Best Petite Boyfriend Jeans

LEE Ruby Boyfriend Jean

Amazon

Boyfriend jeans are supposed to be a bit shorter, which is why it's so hard to find a good pair if you're petite. LEE's Ruby jeans have a relaxed boyfriend style with looser ankles, which are 26 inches when unrolled and 23 inches when rolled. You can get this pair in eight different colors, and some offer distressing for an even more casual look.

  • Inseam: 23 inches (rolled)
  • Available Sizes:

6. The Best Bootcut Jeans For Short Women

WallFlower Bootcut Denim Jeans

Amazon

Bootcut styles should be a bit longer so you can wear them with wedges or heeled boots, and a 30-inch inseam is a reasonable length for petites. WallFlower bootcut jeans offer a comfort-stretch fit, mid-rise waist, and flared legs in a 30-inch inseam for shorter women. They also have embroidered pockets and contrast stitching that reviewers "love the look of."

  • Inseam: 30 inches
  • Available Sizes: 3 short — 17 short

7. The Skinniest Skinny Jeans Available In Short

Levi's Super Skinny Jeans

Amazon

If you like your skinny jeans skin-tight, Levi's Super Skinny jeans are the way to go — and since they're offered in petite, you can tuck them into boots or wear them with heels. The 98-percent cotton construction means minimal stretch for a structured fit, and the mid-rise waist and five pockets are some of the many reasons why reviewers have given these 4.3 stars. "Tight yet comfortable, these are now my to-go jeans!" one buyer raves.

  • Inseam: 28 inches
  • Available Sizes: 24 short — 31 short

8. A Pair Of Petite Skinny Ankle Jeans

NYDJ Alina Ankle Jeans

Amazon

When you're looking for a pair that actually hits above the ankle, the 24-inch inseam on these NYDJ Alina jeans does the trick. The narrower leg opening ensures a tight fit, so they're not quite boyfriend-style, but they can be rolled for a more relaxed look. Get them in 21 different colors, including Coppertone red and Calypso green.

  • Inseam: 24 inches
  • Available Sizes: 0 petite — 18 petite

9. The Best Petite Jeans For A Relaxed Fit

NYDJ Marilyn Straight Leg Jeans

Amazon

For those looking for something with a more relaxed fit down the entire length of the leg, NYDJ Marilyn straight jeans are looser without being too long. They're available in three different colors — Burbank Wash, Dark Enzyme, and Manhattan Beach — and all feature five functional pockets. Short reviewers rave, "Very comfortable and most importantly, no need to bring to the tailor to get hemmed/shortened some more."

  • Inseam: 29.5
  • Available Sizes: 0 petite — 18 petite

10. High-Waist Petite Jeans With Distressing

Vibrant High-Rise Distressed Jeans

Amazon

When all else fails, shopping in the junior's section can help you to find the right length for shorter legs. These junior's jeans from Vibrant have a 27.5-inch inseam, so they're shorter than most standard options. They're also available in five different colors and patterns, all of which have stylish distressing and a high-rise waist.

  • Inseam: 27.5 inches
  • Available Sizes: 1 — 3XL

Sofia Vergara's 'sexy and cute' best-selling jeans are back in stock — and under $30 - Yahoo Finance

Posted: 31 May 2019 01:57 PM PDT

If you missed out the first time on Sofia Vergara's sold-out denim at Walmart, you're in luck.

Seven of Vergara's best-selling jeans are back in stock on June 1. The best part? They're all under $30. You can place you pre-order today and they start shipping on Saturday, but make sure to shop them below before they sell out once again.

Sofia Vergara knows that a great wardrobe isn't complete without the perfect pair of jeans so she teamed up with Walmart to launch Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara in February. It's a size-inclusive collection of over 100 items, including jeans, denim jackets, blouses and graphic T-shirts.

"I am very excited about this collection because it caters to women of all sizes," she tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "We tried to include every shape, every size."

Vergara explains that it was important to create an inclusive line that was wallet-friendly and fashion-forward. "That's why we went all the way up to size 20 — to make sure that everybody could find something really, really affordable and sexy and cute."

Vergara explains that her big Latin family was a source of inspiration for Sofia Jeans, because of how diverse all the women are. "I know all those bodies," she says. "Some are tall some are short, some are voluptuous, some are very skinny, some are older." So, she named various styles after the women closest to her, including cousins, nieces and her mom.

However, family members aren't the only women who are fans of Vergara's denim collection. "Gloria [Pritchett] has been wearing Sofia Jeans the past season, but nobody knew," she says of her Modern Family character. "I wanted to know how they looked on camera. I wanted to know how they would last during a whole 12 to 16-hour shoot day," she says. "They passed all the tests."

The Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara collection is available now in sizes 0 to 20 for jeans and XS to XXXL for tops. Below, shop some of our favorites from the under-$40 collection, available at Walmart.com.
