Tips and Tricks for Petite Jeans Alternatives

Are you drowning in extra denim because you have short legs? Here are some great tips and tricks to help short women step out of the puddle of denim. When the average woman in America is 5'4", why are all the cool jeans made for 6' fashion models? And, how many women do you know with a 34" inseam? It's difficult being short in the world of fashion jeans today! Here are a few suggestions to help you out.

To lengthen your line use a vertical fade or a crease down the center of the pant leg. Or, get a clean dark wash. A uniform color from waist to hem will make your legs look longer and make you look slimmer. And please, avoid those super low rises. A mid rise with a slight upward tilt at the back waist is another great leg lengthening trick. Always keep it slim and stay away from wide leg and trouser styles with heavy hem details. They will make you look shorter and wider than you really are.

If none of these tips seem to work for you, or that pair you love only comes in a long length, then pay to get your jeans shortened! It will cost about $10- $15 bucks extra to get a great jean. Choose a flare leg style to start, and once you shorten it 2-3" you'll be left with a great looking boot cut jean. Ensure that the wash and sandblasting details are not placed too low. They will look strange after you hem them up. You can always check the proportions when you are trying them on by folding up the leg to the inside of the pant. Just make sure you are wearing the correct shoes.
