Longing for an ankle crop that actually hits at the ankle? Or dreaming of jeans you won’t have to roll up repeatedly? If you’re 5'4" or under, you’ve come to the right place! Macy’s offers a wide selection of stylish jeans for petite women, whether you prefer chic skinny jeans that hit just above your ankle boots, petite maternity jeans or curvy petite jeans that hug your shape in all the right places.
Shopping for Great Petite Jeans
Whether you’re shopping for plus size petite jeans or looking for the smallest size on the rack, you’ll find a pair with your perfect fit. That’s convenient if you’re looking for petite flare jeans or petite bell bottom jeans that don’t overwhelm your frame. In the best petite jeans, everything else will be to scale, too, from right-size pockets to ripped knees that are actually at the knee. Petite bootcut jeans will hold their always-flattering shape on shorter frames, and petite boyfriend jeans will let you add a subtle cuff without looking like you’re wearing something too baggy.
Getting the Rise Right in Petite Jeans
The rise is just as important as the inseam in women’s petite jeans. A low rise that sits below the navel makes your legs appear shorter. Try a mid rise or petite high-waisted jeans that visually elongate your silhouette.
Styling Petite Jeans
The key in styling petite jeans is balance. Pairing them with fitted tops is the way to go. Though many people have gravitated toward petite skinny jeans, petite straight leg jeans remain popular. Polish them with a blazer for Casual Friday at work or pair with a T-shirt for the weekend. And, because the amount of fabric is scaled to size, flare petite jeans and petite wide-leg jeans are sure to look great, too.
