Best Jeans Styles for Petites

To select jeans that flatter your petite figure, apply the same basic concepts the experts recommend for your entire petite wardrobe. Look for petite jeans styles that emphasize vertically. Avoid horizontal elements that distract the eye from that vertical line. For example:

• Wear straight-leg styles, a little on the long side, in darker colors
• To minimize curves, choose a wide-leg trouser cut that falls straight from the hips
• Fitted tight jeans can also work - choose a linear cut like a cigarette leg. Avoid leg designs that are tapered at the bottom.
• Avoid crops and cuffs
• Avoid flares and styles that are very tight at the knees.
• Avoid an obvious break between the jeans and your shoes by wearing shoes or boots that are partially or completely covered by the bottom of your jeans,
• Use a monochromatic color scheme, including hose and shoes
• Wear your jeans with heels, preferably with pointed toes
• Avoid shoes with horizontal straps that visibly cut across the front of your foot
• Wear thin, color coordinated belts.
• Avoid wide belts in contrasting colors
• Avoid other oversized accessories
