The Basics

First thing’s first: Measure yourself before you hit the store or the web. Most contemporary denim brands size by waist, AKA the toughest place to alter, so you’ll want to get it right. Step two: Check the inseam, the distance from the crotch to bottom of your leg and the secret sauce of denim magic to unlocking a flattering shape. Lastly, consider the color. Darker, clean washes are your best bet as they flatter any body type and, most importantly, are always in season. Here’s a little-known fact: The rinse can affect how your jeans feel.
for lighter washes to slightly more structured and rigid on dark or black denim,” says Sarah Ahmed, Creative Director of DL1961 and Founder of Warp + Weft. Distressed denim (think acid wash, bleach spots, or decorative holes) and trendy details (embroidery or patchwork, anyone?) have their time and place in your arsenal too so experiment outside your comfort zone. “Your denim should make you look good and feel good. Don’t be afraid to try different fits and washes – you just may be surprised!” says Ahmed.

When you’re under 5’4”, clothing can be challenging — especially pants. Waistbands are perpetually out of proportion with thighs, loose-fitting styles look sloppy, or flares start entirely too high, and, of course, less height means hems regularly fall too long on you. We get it. But SWT (shopping while tiny) can still be stress-free. Getting up close and personal with a great tailor is imperative, but they typically tackle hemline woes. For more structural concerns, turn to higher-waisted styles that elongate your frame and help define your physique. Opt for designated petite lines that design with you in mind.
