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😊

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 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 🌺

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.

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. If you're still searching for "the one" in your jean wardrobe, then I urge you to try these, you will thank me. 😘💋❤❤

I like the Gloria Vanderbilt Amanda Jean. They are high rise and I don’t constantly have to pull them up all the time. I got them in a dark wash straight leg regular length even though I am 5’2” size 6.I will just roll them up to right above the ankle. Because I didn’t hem them, I can wear them with flat shoes or shoes with a little heel. I like bell bottoms and a flare leg too.

I have to hem up store-bought pants. Now, after menopause, I’m also more apple-shaped, which makes pants/jeans shopping even more challenging. So far, yoga pants are a great option for me. 🙂

You need to find the brands where you can choose sized, for me, 1.58m it fits the 34 waist and 30 for leg - perfect! For example "mango" or "bdg outfitters" or you choose a jeans which is described as 7/8. But it's true, no walk in the park to find the perfect one 😘

This is getting harder with online shopping which is so convenient. I do purchase most of my jeans from the same store that I have been going to since childhood. Luckily there is one where I live in rural Australia. I have purchased some from online shopping and have been successful each time but I do prefer to try them on if possible.

I'm 4'11" & I used to never have problems finding pants that fit perfectly (or any other item of clothing), as LONG AS I weighed less than 100 lbs. I could wear nearly everything right off the rack when I was a size 2-4 petite. I'm sure there were probably fewer styles to choose from than there were with regular-sized clothing, but finding clothes I liked that fit me was easy to do -- as long as I didn't grow larger than a 6 petite. But, boy oh BOY, things didn't stay that way! When a body as short as mine packs on 40 lbs (down from 55!), absolutely NOTHING fits! And pants are THE WORST! But it's not the bottom of the pants I worry about -- it's the top! You can always hem pant legs, but because I am apple-shaped and very short-waisted -- AND because high-rise pants are in style -- I cannot find pants that will work for me. If they are big enough for my middle, and I place the beltline at my beltline, the crotch hangs down to my knees. The other option of pulling the pants higher than my beltline looks and feels ridiculous because they are literally at my bra line. Plus, I have large breasts which accentuates that fact. So far, my only solution has been trying to lose weight 🙄 and praying for low-rise pants to come back in style.🙏🏼 And yes, I have tried "women's petite" sizes, but they don't work either because a pair of pants with a big enough waist will always be too tall in the stride.😞 I've thought about getting tailor-made pants, but that's a pretty expensive route to take. I would appreciate any suggestions! Anyone??

Look for pants/jeans with a lot of stretch on them %3 percent of elastin/spandex or more most stores websites post the materials on the description box it would read something like 97% cotton, 3% spandex etc.. You can also try boyfriends style pants/jeans they tend to be baggier in lower stomach/crotch area .

I'm a little lady as well 4 ft 11. What make me easy to find jean is I wear size 1 or 2. I stick with certain brands only. I get mine from Express is one of the place and yes only high rise to hide my tummy lol I look for size 2 "short" fit me perfectly. I don't have to try it. I like to wash my Jean's prior to wearing it. Yes I understand the STRUGGLE!

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.

'im seing that now, I'm petite, with short legs, and definitely I'm so happy that flare jeans are back! I use to wear them when I was a teen, and when we switched too skinny I thought I will never wear flare again. And I was so wrong, I've picked one of those flare in dark blue and 'm in love, it really suits us very much, specially cause now I wear the top inside the jeans and that gives a visually elongated shape. I love your videos! =)

There's no such thing as a size under a 3. They just want women to lie to themselves and think they are skinnier than they are. Anything under a 3 is a girls size.

I'm 4'10.5". I've found great success with JCPenney petite jeans (St. Johns Bay and A.N.A. brands). Some styles even come in petite-short length. My only issue is that many of the jeans have "whiskering."

I'm a low heeler too, (except danskos) but she looks so good (and honestly comfortable) in all her non flat shoes I may take a second look. Maybe she could do a "non flat shoes that are actually comfortable" video.

Thank you for your video. Women with a long torso and short legs are pretty forgotten by the fashion industry. As a pear shaped woman, the problem becomes get a high rise that will go over your hips, but then the waist is too big. I know I can have that tailored, but it really just adds to the bill. I generally go for mid-rise to solve the problem. Maybe I will try high rise again. Thanks again!
