Short length jeans

[Idontjetwashthefucker]

I used to wear M&S short length jeans for years but now they are much longer, same with Tu and Next. Any recommendations for 27 or 28" length jeans?

That's all that matters

They were quite baggy too despite being straight leg, and I'm not slim of leg either.

Have you looked in Hollister?
According to my DD they're brilliant for lots of different lengths & styles in their jeans. Admittedly not the most obvious store I would think of visiting.

Top shop petite were my go to, asos used to sell them it’s been a while since I bought any might be worth a try, also river island do some petite jeans.

I am only 5 1 but more short bodied. I wear the M&S boyfriend fit ankle grazers. I buy the long leg and they fit just fine with a turn up. Often get cropped which means normal fit for me .

I'm 59 with 27 leg.. and 26 on the other!
Believe it or not, I get mine from Hollister
Available online only though

I bought the next petite chinos and have to roll them up to have them on my ankle, as I said Im 5;5

Thank you, Im not keen on the style though I dont like them coming out at the bottom, almost a mini boot leg

Fat face short length jeans work well for me - and I'm 5ft1". Have to buy online though

I bought slim relaxed jeans in Next recently and didn't even have to get the petite as they must be meant to be cropped. I've had a lot of luck with jeans described as cropped = full length for me.

Also check out Pixie Girl.

Have you tried crop jeans? I buy from Frame’s le crop range, a bit spenny but they’re lovely jeans and actually the perfect length on me at 5”2.

River island do short , iim 5 foot and they are ok for me

I'm convinced petite jeans / trousers have got longer. For years I have worn River Island jeans, they are now too long, Reiss too long. I ordered some Abercrombie one and they are 'OK' I mean, i'm going to have to wear a bit of a heel but are wearable.

I'm starting to think i'm going to have to start having them altered like I had to in the 90s.

I have a local lady who shortens all my trousers because I don't want to be limited by petite clothes which frankly aren't great aren't they !

I wear the m&s sienna jeans in short and they fit well ( I’m 5 ft 1). You tend to find even shorter length in the OAP type shops like Bon Marche, haven’t tried these personally.

@soupfiend I hadn't noticed that , but now you mention it ,I see what you mean !
Let us know if you're successful in your quest.

Mint Velvet so short length if your budget will stretch

Depends if you have relatively shorter legs or shorter body. I’m the same height as my friend, but her hips are a good couple of inches higher than mine.

I'm 5'2 and wear magic jeans or cropped that end up being the right length. I believe bon marche do 25 and 27 inch leg length although I've never shopped there.

I struggle with the crotch length in many short jeans - they have an excess fold / crease of fabric across the top of the legs / bottom of the zip. Perhaps I have an XS lower body too.

(that is extra short, not extra small!)

If you buy Levi's they will shorten them for you

Oh my god top shop petite jeans were the best. I had a pair in the late 90s that I wore until they basically fell apart.

These days I tend to go for GAP which does a variety of leg lengths (I am 5ft) or buy jeans that are designed to be cropped on normal sized people.

Hopefully the M&S extra short will do the trick, all the others I've tried have either been too long, too baggy and just 'not right'.

The M&S ones look to be nice and straight, almost slim fit but not quite, which is exactly what I want.

I'll post a pic when they arrive!

I feel your pain OP. I'm 4"11 and the struggle is real. Sometimes you just don't want the hassle of altering something. River Island jeans are great but still a bit too long. M&S used to do an amazing 5 pocket jegging /skinny jean and they fitted perfectly. Unfortunately they discontinued them.

I find river island short for work for me and I’m 5’3 with 28’ inseam
