As a petite women, it's tough to find the perfect straight jeans that aren't too skinny or too wide—plus, finding them in petite length is a whole other struggle. Straight jeans are such a great option for petite women because they’re super comfy, flatter your silhouette, and give the illusion of longer, leaner legs. I’ve rounded up some of my favorite petite straight-leg jeans that won’t need hemming. Let’s dive in!
Are these petite straight-leg jeans from Mother expensive? Yes. Are they worth it? YES. I’ve had my Mother jeans for four years now, and they’re still in great condition. I’ve always believed in investing in quality denim. It’s not just worth it; it also saves you the hassle of constantly having to replace jeans every six months. The fit, quality, and length are ideal for petite women, and they can easily be dressed up or down.
If you didn't know Abercrombie now offers "extra short" and "short" jean lengths. Based on verified customer reviews, these straight leg jeans are petite-friendly. They have a ton of different washes and they're under $100.
One verified petite buyer left a review and said, "I’M OBSESSED. I’m petite, 5’ 120lbs with a small waist but bigger thighs. I tried this style in curve love in a 25 as I usually buy curvy for the waist proportion, the 25 was way too big. I tried a 24, still too big. So I just got the 23 X-Short so they hit right at my ankles and they finally fit!!!!!! They didn’t have the washes I wanted in 23 so I just bought whatever colors they did have and I love them!"
I never understood why J.Crew was so expensive until I recently purchased a cashmere sweater from them. At first glance, their styles seem quite simple and similar to other brands like Banana Republic or COS. However, over time, you realize that their quality lasts, and their fit is far superior to brands like H&M and Zara. You can tell that love goes into their style and fit, especially in their petite denim section. Many petite shoppers truly adore J.Crew including me.
One verified customer said, "Love this denim! I love the look and style of Levi’s, but have trouble finding ones that fit my body well. These feel like Levi’s with some stretch and are so comfortable and flattering! I am 5’3” and I ordered the petite and they come to just below my ankle, perfect for flats."

The A 99 low rise straight jeans from abrand are a great option. They are made from rigid denim so they recommend sizing up.

A great classic pair of jeans that will last for a long time. Style it with a white t shirt tucked in, flats, and a vintage leather belt.
One verified purchaser said, "The 90’s straight are the best! I feel that they are classic yet with it. They stretch a tiny bit through the day but not enough to make them baggy. I even got compliments from my high school students on these jeans! I have a pair in regular and petite and much prefer the petite length and rise."

Good American not only caters to curvy girls, but also petite women. These denim jeans are super sculpting and body hugging for that perfect fit. It's made from their SoftTech Cotton which is formulated from their softest cotton yet, that feels like a second pair of skin.
One verified customer who is 5'3 said, "I have been searching for 2 years for actual comfortable, stretchy jeans and these are it! The denim is soft and lightweight I can wear them all day at work and be comfortable. They fit true to size and so far do not stretch out.
The Way High Jean from Everlane is a best-seller for good reason. These are a straight leg that’s not too wide and not too slim. Plus, it’s made of premium organic cotton with a touch of stretch, so sitting down is a breeze (even if you over eat at dinner).

There are so many different retail stores that now cater to the petite audience. My favorite ones at the moment are J. Crew, Abercrombie, Everlane, Free People, and Mother. If I had to choose my top three retailers, it would be Mother, J. Crew and Abercrombie for their higher quality fabrics and customer service. They also tend to last longer based off of personal experience.
It really depends on the vibe that you are going for when styling straight jeans. If you are looking for a more casual look, I would opt for a basic tank top, brown or black belt, and a comfortable pair of shoes like booties or platform loafers. If it's cold out, I might throw on a blazer or knit cardigan.
When styling straight jeans for a more formal outing, I would opt for a silk blouse or camisole top. This will give it more a of a higher end and classy look. Top if off with gold or silver earrings and a pair of your favorite heels and clutch.
