Keep reading to see and shop the 19 best skinny jeans for short girls, according to fellow short girls.
MADEWELL
Madewell's denim has a major cult following and has earned huge points with petite shoppers. "I've had pretty good luck with most Madewell jeans if you get them in short. Also if you're an insider, they tailor them for free," says one of our WWW Insiders. "Madewell offers petite and free hemming in stores!" raves another member. Its wallet-friendly price points are also a great bonus.
EXPRESS
Express is one of the most beloved mall brands, but who knew they had such great petite denim? With inseam options ranging from 27 to 32 inches, its denim selection has quite the offering. "I like the Express short line. I'm 4'9" so I have to take them to the tailor either way, but they'd be perfect on someone like 5'0" to 5'3"," reveals one of our FB group members.
GOOD AMERICAN
Good American is already known for its size-inclusive line of chic denim, but it also offers an amazing petite selection. "Good American (any of their crops)—I'm 5'/5'1" and their Good Waist Crops hit my ankle at a perfect length!" raves a WWW Insider.
TOPSHOP
Another popular retailer with a great petite denim selection is Topshop. A lot of its best-selling styles are available in both a standard and petite inseam option. Our insiders particularly like the Joni style from Topshop.
LUCKY BRAND
One insider states: "I'm short and small. I LOVEEEEEE Lucky Brand. They are miracle jeans! They fit perfectly!" Need we say more?
