I'm 5'2, here's the 7 Best Places to Buy Petite Jeans in 2024

Madewell is an excellent option when it comes to buying petite jeans. They're known for having great quality jeans, hence the name lol (made well). They make it super easy to shop all their different types of jeans (especially on desktop). You're able to filter by fit: wide-leg, straight-leg, vintage, flare, baggy jeans, or skinny. While pricer than Zara and H&M, their jeans are much more durable with a better fit. 

Side note: they also just came out with a "petite curvy" collection!

Banana Republic has been around for ages, and for good reason. Their designs are timeless, chic, and reasonably priced. They have a lot of bottoms including premium quality denim in petite sizing. Not to mention that their quality is top tier with some of their collections being made in Italy.

Side note: check out the Banana Republic Factory for up to 80% off retail prices!

Abercrombie stands out from retailers like J.Crew, Gap, and Banana Republic due to its trend-focused approach hence appealing to a younger generation. Abercrombie also has a more inclusive size range like their "curve love" collection that caters to both petites and curvy women. I haven't bought Abercrombie jeans myself, but everyone I talk to loves them and considers them staples in their closets.

Ann Taylor's petite denim collection is a great option, especially for older women. They're really good at making jeans that flatter smaller frames with their precise tailoring. Plus, they offer a wide range of petite sizes with sizes ranging from 00 to 16, so you can find a perfect fit without needing to visit the tailor. Not to mention, their jeans are actually comfortable making them practical for everyday wear.

One of my current favorite brands is Favorite Daughter, founded by Erin and Sara Foster (daughters of David Foster). I bought their infamous Valentina petite flare jeans, and they're my favorite jeans by far. They hit just above the floor, perfect for sneakers or heels. I can't say that they're the most comfortable due to their structured fit, but they're incredibly flattering. They don't offer many petite denim options yet, but I'm hopeful they'll expand their styles soon.

Citizens of Humanity's petite denim collection is another great option to consider. They really nail the fit and quality. Their jeans are super flattering and comfy, made from really nice denim that feels great on your skin. They have a bunch of styles too, from classic skinny jeans to trendy wide-leg and cropped cuts. Whether you're into timeless or more fashion-forward looks, they've got both options that will definitely last you a long time.

Gap has always been a classic and relevant brand and that's hard to do especially since they started all the way back in 1969. They're known for their denim and casual clothes, and now they've got a great petite denim collection too. 

What I love about Gap is they make clothes that are timeless, comfortable, but also fashion-forward. Their petite denim collection has a bunch of styles ranging from classic straight styles, to more trendy styles like baggy and low-rise jeans. Not to mention, their prices are affordable!
