These wide leg jeans for petites won’t leave you frustrated with bottoms that are too long in the leg and too high in the rise.
As many petites know, you can’t just take a regular length pair of jeans and hem them.
The knees hit too low, the rise sits too high, and the shape of the leg changes when you hack off four inches.
Luckily for us shorties (I’m 5’4” on my tallest days), more brands are offering petite sizes tailored specifically for our smaller bodies.
In this blog post, I’m going to show you 19 petite wide leg jeans from nine different brands you should try that could be the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

Anthropologie
Anthropologie is one of my favorite places to shop for petite clothes. I love their commitment to size inclusivity, offering both plus and petite sizes in trendy, fashionable styles.
When it comes to denim, Anthropologie has the best petite selection I’ve found. They sell their own in-house labels, but they also carry petite jeans from other brands like Frame, Paige, and Joe’s.
I can occasionally find petite pants and jeans in store, but the most extensive selection is online. I’ve only listed some of the petite jeans you can find online at Anthropologie, so make sure to check out their website!

Madewell
Madewell is a popular brand that offers petite clothing that complements a shorter body. Their best selection is online, but I’ll often try on the regular jeans in the store to see how they fit and then order the petite.

Old Navy
I bought a pair of wide leg jeans from Old Navy just a few days ago, and they aren’t even petite! They are very high-waisted on me, and just a smidge too long to wear with flats, but some petites may be able to get away with the regular sizes here.

Gap
Gap has both petite sizes, and short lengths. The difference is that the petite is overall smaller in proportion, while the short is the regular sizing in a shorter length.

Other Options
Sometimes we can make regular sizes work on our petite bodies. Cropped jeans can be full length on short legs. Mid rise jeans can be a high rise on short torsos. And short lengths in regular sizes can work for those women with long torsos but short legs.
Here are some brands that offer petite jeans, just not currently wide leg styles:
