Best wide leg jeans for short arses?

Tried short length from M & S and they were a tad too long. If you're about 5'2" and have found the holy grail of wide leg jeans, please share!

I’ve just bought the Adalae ones from New Look and they’re really nice! They do a 30” leg too.

Check Hollister. They offer 3 lengths and have a variety of shapes. Very reasonably prized too!

I am 5'2" and last few pairs I have bought I have had them taken up for me so the length is perfect. They were from River Island and Hollister. As they were bought in the sale the £8 each i paid to have them taken up was worth it. I find m n S either too short of a bit too long.
Next petit side leg are perfect but like hen's teeth

I like the straight leg jeans from river island in short length. Even though they're straight leg, they look wide on me.

Sometimes I think normal wide leg jeans are too wide on my little stumpy legs.

I love Lottie jeans by simply be. I'm 5:2 and a size 10 and they are a perfect fit

m&s do have some. I'm the same height as you and find the length of their jeans varies from style to style slightly.

I got these and they are just ok if I have quite clumpy trainers on but they'd be too long with ballet flats for example www.marksandspencer.com/high-waisted-wide-leg-jeans-with-lyocell/p/clp60679959?color=MEDIUMINDIGO#intid=pid_pg2pip33g4r1c1 www.marksandspencer.com/high-waisted-wide-leg-jeans-with-lyocell/p/clp60679959?color=MEDIUMINDIGO#intid=pid_pg2pip33g4r1c1]]]]

Then I recently got some "mom" style jeans which are a couple of inches shorter from m&s.

So I would say keep trying different ones.

Your best bet moving forward is buying a sewing machine and learning how to take up trousers and other clothes

It's very easy

Normal trousers I just do by hand but I never think denim looks quite 'right' when it's been altered.
Love the look of those m & S ones.

Mango all the way! Especially if they're cropped, I find there cuts super flattering, and the pocket placement is perfect!

Catinabox21 · 26/11/2024 17:06

Seconding buying a cropped pair in regular length!

My wide jeans are crazy long so I have huge turn ups on them atm

They were from Primark but a few years ago now

Same height, bought three pairs of Adelae from New Look.

Someone always suggests turning up the ends on a sewing machine - I hate doing this, the knees are still in the wrong place and the rise too deep so the fit is often wrong. And getting the right hem for denim at home is impossible for me.

I’m interested in these. Do you get them from the petite section?
