Jeans for short legs - 5 surprising secrets (wish I had known earlier)

[@kimberlycooper4170]

KZbin just now put your channel in my feed. I am so glad! Your channel is exactly what I need for my height and my modest income!

[@tammy1690]

My thoughts exactly 😁 x

[@charleneheaman2033]

It would be supportive to see your outfits also styled with flats. Heels don’t work for everyone. When I worked i ALWAYS wore heels. Now I am retired, working as an artist at home but not wearing heels unless special occasion. Seeing more tips on wearing flats for petites would be helpful. It may not be your personal preference but there are a lot of petite women like me wanting to stick to flats😊

I’m 4ft 11 and i cant emphasise how much i struggle with finding the right sized, tapered jeans and jackets with the right sleeve length :(

[@krisushi1]

I have the same issue although I am slightly taller at 5ft4ins. Everything needs to come up on the bottoms and the sleeves get tucked under or rolled up. It's so disappointing when buying a great pair of pants only to not be able to wear them until altered.

[@helenandrews9543]

Extremely helpful. So many of my almost new jeans end up being donated to a charity shop because they just don’t look right on me. Thanks to your video I feel more informed and can now find some jeans that will look and feel more flattering on my figure. You explain everything very clearly. Thank you so much.

[@Iris-fp4uk]

i'm not sure about the flared jeans. i have short legs/ long torso and muscular, thicker legs. i also have an hourglass shape more leaning towards inverted triangle. i find the flared jeans emphasize my thicker thighs. my favorite are super high rise tapered jeans. they look best on me if they fit a little loose around my thighs. great tips!!

[@TheBohemianStyle]

Can I ever relate! I have hourglass or pear figure and so tight on the thighs. Another thing, when shopping on-line, no way to narrow down your search to select high waist. 💋

[@kellyb6738]

Same for me, the thighs are so tight.

[@katchupbottle4530]

I've been buying "curvy" jeans to help with this pickle. They come in so many sizes too! So even if you're petite, curvy jeans are available and give room in the thigh area. Hope this may help!

[@patrobin5640]

I agree. I don’t find flared jeans flattering on short legs. Plus you have to wear them with heels and who has time for that??

[@deborahdarroyo]

I have big thighs so flare doesn’t look good on me. I love curvy jeans too.

I gave up completely on women's jeans and now buy only men's jeans. The rise is high enough to make me happy and I can buy the length I need in the styles I like. The only altering I need to do is 2 darts at the waist, which takes me 10 minutes.

[@lovethosebudgies]

I just found out that high-rise doesn't work for me because I need a very short rise. Regular sizing with a short inseam doesn't work because the rise isn't proportioned. I'm 5 ft 2 in and I think I've just found my jeans. Mid-rise petite jeggings that are exactly like jeans. I can flip the waistband over too which I almost always have to do. I must have tried on 100 pair of jeans! LOL. Love your videos which I just found! Excellent explanations and diagrams. Subbed 🌺

[@angemarie12]

I'm 5' 4". I'm too tall for petite jeans and too short for regular jeans. I just bought some wide leg INC jeans from Macy's as a last resort. They fit great!!! I can wear a comfortable 4-inch heel with it, maybe even a little lower, and it looks great!

[@JC-yc8wg]

Great useful video thank you! Another tip for us shorter leg ladies that personally is huge for me is to either try to have your shoes the same color value as your pants or a nude/ tan / beige colored heel. Also, I do much better with heels that the details, I believe it's called the vamp or Top Line, don't come too high up on the foot. Lastly, for my body type which is petite and larger legs relative to my body, I do much better when there is less contrast color difference between my belt and my pants. I hope this information is helpful.

[@barbarageddis1584]

Being short and petite, I find jeans/ pants size 12 or 14 in the girls (kid) section fit perfectly if you are 4’11 and below. They have slim, regular, and plus fit to choose from. The smallest women size jeans/ pants are usually too long in the crotch to waistline and bunch up awkwardly in the crotch, hips and buttocks area. Junior department sizes sometimes fit shorter/petite women also. The only problem is finding a plain pair of jeans or pants that are appropriate for my age in the kids and junior department, but once I find a pair-I buy 2. They are usually at a lower price too. Kids shoes are also cheaper and fit better (kid size 2-3 usually fit size 5 in women, 3-4=6 in women, 4-5=7 in women).

I'm 5'2" with 28" inside leg, 7 for all mankind jeans are the ones!! They fit the waist beautifully, make my legs look longer, slimmer and make me look taller with a killer backside.... dreamy! Their cropped (for me at least, when I buy them at 28" inner leg) is a perfect ankle bone grazing length, they are soooper flattering in high waist, mid or low rise.

Enjoyed and learned from your video. First time petite watcher. In my opinion I think if you wear heels with jeans (not skinny) they should be longer. When you sit down too much leg is exposed. When you are standing the leg looks longer. Check out how Victoria Beckham wears pants for instance.
