Right? Short women wear jeans, too. The fashion industry has traditionally not been very good at producing clothing for those who aren’t tall or thin, but that is changing. It’s great to have the opportunity today to cover more than just two brands of jeans! Hooray! The designers still need to work on their designs, but a petite woman can at least find stylish jeans for a reasonable price.
These are the best brands of denim that I think cater to petite women. If I forgot your favorite denim brand, please let me know and I will add it to the list! ).
1. Topshop
2. NYDJ
NYDJ claims to be the best fitting jeans in the world. Although I have never worn them, the brand name (Not Your Daughter’s jeans) is not one I like. A “slimming jeans” is also something I’ve never worn. I don’t like spending $100 on jeans.
NYDJ has a wide variety of styles that are suitable for petite women. Included are bootcuts and girlfriend jeans. Browse them at NYDJ.com.
3. Stradivarius
Stradivarius may not have as many options as Topshop, but it’s still worth shopping. You’ll be most impressed by the cost. The price of petite jeans starts at around $30, and goes up to about $40. Styles include skinny mom jeans, distressed high-waisted jeans and low-waisted skinnies.
Shop for Stradivarius Jeans at Stradivarius.com.
4. New Look
New Look, a U.K. retailer offers a good selection of stylish jeans for petite women. New Look does not ship directly to the U.S. from their website, but the brand is available on asos.com.
The “waist-enhance mom jeans” are a good combination of comfort and shape. You might prefer a pair of wide-leg dad jeans in mid-blue washes or skinny black denim. Prices range between $30 and $50.
Capital One is a great place to get coupon codes. Here’s how.
5. Style & Co.
6. ASOS Petite
ASOS has its own ASOS Petite collection. There are a variety of jeans available, from baggy to skinny, and colored. Prices range between $35-$55.
ASOS Petite is my favourite brand. I like the styles because they are fashionable, yet still wearable by an older woman — .
7. Miss Selfridge
Since 2021, Miss Selfridge is owned by ASOS. You can find their pieces on ASOS of course, but also at MissSelfridgeASOS.com (try saying that 10 times fast).
The line-up consists mainly of mom jeans, skinny jeans, and a variety of washes. Miss Selfridge’s petite jeans are available for between $10 and $30.
8. Noisy May
Vero Moda, a Danish fashion brand, produces Noisy may. It’s not intimidating to call the brand “authentic, raw and cutting-edge” if you like that style. The jeans from Noisy may are stylish without being too loud.
You can purchase them brand new at ASOS for between $30 and $50 per piece. Poshmark, Thredup and other sites sell used Noisy may pieces.
9. Charter Club
Charter Club, like Style & Co is aimed at a mature woman. There are mostly cropped, colored and straight-leg denims. There are also a couple of pieces in floral-printed denim. These are a bit dated, but I can see how they might be fun in some situations.
Some Charter Club styles also have a control panel for the tummy, which could be of interest.
Shop Charter Club petite jeans at Macy’s. They are available for around $40 or even less during a sales event.
