Short inseams work across every silhouette. Barrel jeans and cropped wide leg jeans are designed to hit at the ankle, while skinny, bootcut and straight leg styles in a shorter inseam keep a long, clean line. Want extra smoothing?

Frequently Asked Questions

What inseam is best for petite women?

Most petite women, generally under 5 foot 4, do best with an inseam of about 27 to 30 inches for full-length jeans, or shorter for cropped and ankle styles. Shoes matter too, so plan a little extra length if you wear booties or heels.

How do I measure my inseam?

Lay a pair of jeans that fits you well flat and measure from the crotch seam down the inside of the leg to the hem. Compare that number to the inseam listed on each product page.

What size should I order?

It depends on the brand and style. Most Judy Blue denim is very stretchy, so size down one from your usual department store size, while many Risen and Saige styles fit true to size. Each product page lists the exact recommendation, and our Judy Blue size and fit guide has the full breakdown.
