A denim jean is the single most versatile item a petite woman can own. A great fitting pair of jeans has the power to transform everything from a basic white T-shirt to a glamorous sequined jacket into the perfect look for any social setting.

Here are some suggestions to help you shop for jeans that will flatter your petite shape and size.

If you are the Pear Shape Petite (narrow shoulders, broad hips):

The right pair of jeans will work wonders for your figure. A darker shade of denim minimizes fullness in the hip and thigh area. Shading down the front of the leg will slim and elongate. A “boot cut” or flared leg jean balances your fuller hips with your narrow shoulders. “Relaxed Fit” jeans also offer a roomier cut in the hips and thighs.

If you are the Inverted Pear Shape Petite (full bust, slim hips):

Since you are usually slimmer in the hip and thigh area, skinny or straight leg jeans are often flattering. These styles will make your figure appear longer and curvier. Balance the slim leg with a tunic top in a darker shade of color to minimize your full bust.

If you are the Circular Shape Petite (fuller in the middle):

Jeans with a hidden lycra tummy panel will flatten and control a fuller mid-section while lifting up your butt. Look for a higher waistband (no lower than 2 fingers below your navel) to avoid the dreaded “muffin top” effect. A touch of spandex in the denim fabric will knock ten pounds off instantly.

If you are the Hourglass Shape Petite (very curvaceous):

A tiny waist often creates fit problems. Jeans that fit the hips are usually huge in the waist. A lower rise or curved waistband is more likely to fit both areas. Opt for ample flap or patch pockets on the rear of the jean to minimize a big butt.

Pockets that are too small will only emphasize your curves.

Note to petite women of all shapes and sizes: The hem of your jean should cover your shoe for the longest and most flattering look possible.

  2. Personally, I think I have only 1 pair of jeans that fit me the right way. The problem I run into, as most petites do is just the actual legth of the jeans/pants. I wear wedges or heels almost all the time ( I don’t even own a pair of tennis shoes!) and that helps with me not steppin on my pantlegs so much! I will check out the Izu jeans…thnx!

  3. UGH! as much as I love shopping I almost loathe shopping for jeans. I don’t like having to spend extra money just to get them hemmed. It’s one of the reasons why I prefer wearing dresses and skirts, but its nice to hear there are people out there making jeans for petite girls! 🙂
