Every woman needs a perfect-fitting pair of jeans — but for petites, this can be a challenge. The standard lengths and inseams are inches too long for women under 5’4″. Luckily, many brands and designers now offer a selection of petite jeans in-store and online. These jeans for short women come in a variety of sizes, from 00 to plus-sizes, to accommodate every woman’s figure. Whether you’re into dark denim or a lighter wash, shop this selection of petite denim.
