Where on the high st to buy body complementing jeans for short ladies?

Anywhere know a place with good jeans for us shorter ladies?

I'm a size 5ft 1 and a 10/12 trousers size(maybe bigger size in jeans of course) and man is it a pain in the ass trying to find nice jeans. Stores seem to assume that because I'm short, it means I also have no curves whatsoever :/ or, that do the opposite and leave you with a saggy ass.

I thought I found a pair lately but for some reason, the pants under the jeans (not the jeans themselves) start to fall down whenever I wear them! xD

Also, I'd love to find flared jeans (or trousers)
Not full on 70s vibe, but just ones with a little flare you know. I had a pair once and they really elongate the leg. But of course, normally when you are short you have to roll up the bottom of jeans or take up the length so...

I'm in a city, anyone found any high st stores worth checking out?

DD (who is 5 foot tall) gets her jeans from M&S. It's about the only place she's found where the short length is short enough. They do a variety of styles.

Funily enough mns is the only place I've found trousers that fit leg wide without being taken up. Maybe need to have a better go at trying on their jeans next time I'm in.

I’m a similar size and find M&S jeans/trousers fit best, new look jeans are ok too.

Primark, they have all leg sizes and are cheap and hard wearing.

I’m 5ft2. Levi’s do shorter lengths (26, 28 inch etc) - I have 501s. & Other Stories cropped jeans (available in various styles including straight, flared and wide length) are the perfect ankle length on me and really nice quality too.

Otherwise I think the internet is your best bet for petite trousers - ASOS, Zalando etc.

Top shop (now only online through ASOS) do all leg lengths, and have various bootcut type styles

I find primark everything just doesn't sit right on my frame.

That's interesting about toyshop having a selection of jeans as for everything else in there I'm lucky if I can get one ass cheak into it xD

I've just bought some M&S Lily jeans. They come in extra short and short.

Sparkai · 26/12/2021 12:32

I never shop there for anything else, bit I find that new look petite jeans fit me perfectly. I must have the right hip to waist ratio for their designs and the petite is a good length too.

I find m&s too big at my waist, although the length is good.

Levis are my other go to, much more expensive though. And I've found I get a couple of years very regular wear (3/4 times a week) out of my new look jeans anyway

I’d also recommend M&S, they have stretch type jean/trousers in short lengths & in a big range of colours/ patterns. They’re about £15. I’m 5’1 and find them flattering,

I also used to buy some from Topshop which are a similar sort of material. Fair bit more expensive but I really liked them. I think they were Moto, Leigh.

M & S.

My equally short-arsed mother used to swear by Primark but I used to struggle with their sizing.

Levis do a shorter length and they used to have a tailoring service too, not sure if that's still available though. I have found Levis styling to be 'true' - that is, if you try on the right waist size in the shop but they don't have the shorter length, you can order the shorter leg online and the waist still fits. Rather than what you're finding with other brands that they resize the whole garment.

I'm 5ft 3 I have the lily's from m&s in short, and if you can find them on ebay, oasis did a boot cut jeans called scarlet, they fit just like the lily's, slim on the bum and thighs, then a small boot cut from knee down they are a little lower on the waist than I really like, but as they fit so well everywhere else, I love them.
