Petite jeans

I really want some well fitting petite jeans but I'm not sure if what style would suit me and where it's best to get them from. I'm a size 10/12 and 5'1. Any ideas would be welcome!

I'm 5 foot 1 and get mine from M&S, lots of different leg lengths and styles.

I tend to go for straight or skinny and stay away from flares / wide leg

Same here, I bought M&S Sienna straight leg last week, and they're a good shape for me. High waist and they don't taper to the ankle which I wanted.

Mango sienna cropped flare

I am 5’2” and size 10 ish.
I suit M&S skinny/slim or jeggings, petite. They are a perfect fit.
However it is also about your proportions as some people around our height find petite too long…
my legs are slightly long in proportion to my body and I have quite curvy hips/bum but my waist goes in.
I can’t get some brands such as next above my knees…
if you are the opposite then M&S may not suit you.

Me too. But I shop in person and take a tape measure to check the inside leg.

I'm 5'2 and like M and S Lily jeans in short (straight / slim cut)

ASOS has a good selection of petite clothes from different brands. Otherwise, Boden, M&S, Next.

I’m 5 foot exactly and just got some good jeans from gap - they have a selection of lengths.

FatFace work for me for jeans at the moment and I'm 5ft1 - lots of their jeans and trousers in different leg lengths when you buy online

Thank you! I'm having a look now at all the suggestions in my quest for the perfect jeans.

I'm also 5ft1 and size 10/12 and since m and s changed their sizing have to go for the extra short ones (not petite). The only problem being they never have any in stock. I usually buy the sienna straight leg.

Femalefootyfan · 29/09/2023 22:17

I’d agree with the pp who mentioned Fatface jeans. I’m just 5 feet and a size 8 and I find their jeans perfect for me. The only issue I find is that you can’t buy their petite jeans in store, they have to be bought online.

River Island do the best petite jeans.
