The Petite Shopper

Advice and Information for Petite Women

what type of jeans should i wear for my body type?

Hannah M asked:


i don’t have the typical hourglass shaped body, so it’s a pain to shop for jeans. i’m pretty thin, really short, size 2 juniors, petite, no hips, small butt, fuller thighs, and a short inseam. i’ve seen other people wear skinny jeans and i love it, but i think that they’ll just make my thighs seem bigger. but bootcut/flares seem to overwhelm me and i feel even shorter. i’ve tried straight cuts and they seem the least atrocious, but it’s hard to find ones i like.

    my favorite is may yo as# jeans. The bigger your butt, the bigger the map of a country. They look great and it’s very educational

    I think you can wear skinny jeans. At least try them on. You said you don’t have the typical hourglass shape, you don’t have hips, and you’re slim, which is perfect for skinny jeans. If you had curves it’s make your body look more disproptionate. However, if you don’t like the way they look on you, then you can get jeans that are tighter up at your thighs and waist, but flare out only a little bit at the bottom.

    Go to different stores, and try on different types of jeans, that’ll help you get more of a sense of what looks good on you. Plus, you might find more straight cuts that seem less atrocious to you. I really think that from your description, that skinny jeans would look great on you though.

    okay this is from SEVENTEEN
    tthere’s a whole section about denim heres what it says:

    PETITETHIN
    look for: boot-cut leans
    a little flare, like on Mavi jeans, adds curves to your small fram and makes you look taller.

    A long cardigan visually lenthens your middle

    you style checklist:
    -pick a 30 inseam- it won’t need to be hemmed
    -wear dark, barly faded jeans to seem longer
    -avoid wide legs, which can overwhelm a small figure
