If you're on the shorter side, you know that finding the perfect pair of jeans isn't always easy. While most jeans are made with a standard 32-inch inseam, petite girls often need a choice a little closer to 28 inches. This leaves five-footed girls forced to either roll up their pants (which isn't always fashionable) or stuck heading straight to the tailor to spend more cash on making them the correct length.
To make your life easier, we rounded up a few of the most popular and good quality brands that offer a wide variety of petite options. Check out these favorites, because every girl deserves a go-to pair of hassle-free jeans!

1 Topshop
Topshop offers most of its most popular denim in a 28" inseam for its shorter female customers, ranging from classic blue denim to ecru and even waxed styles. This pair of Topshop Petite Jamie Skinny Jeans ($80) picks up on the ripped detail trend that could easily be dressed up by cuffing and adding a great pair of heels.
2 Citizens of Humanity
For shorter women looking for a luxurious label, Citizens of Humanity may be a match made in denim heaven. The brand offers most of its supersoft styles in a petite 28" inseam fit. Get these black Citizens of Humanity Sculpt Rocket Petite Jeans ($198) for going out.
3 Gap
With a 28" inseam, the petite jean section at Gap offers one of the widest arrays of cuts, including skinny, boot, boyfriend, and flare. Our favorite? These Gap Super High Rise Skinny Jeans ($99), which hit right below the ankle — making them the perfect pair for styling with flats, heels, or even tucked in with boots.
4 Paige
Known for providing customers with one of the softest fits, Paige Denim also designs a line of petite denim with a 28" inseam. One of the best features of this brand is its comfortable fit that doesn’t stretch out — saving you from the constant trip back to the dryer between wears. These Paige Hoxton Ankle Petite Jeans ($219) feature a cute detailed hem.
5 NYDJ
For petite women who prefer a bit of a looser look, NYDJ is the answer to your denim prayers. The premium brand is known for its soft and stretchy feel. The petite section offers a 29.5" inseam, with several different cuts and washes. Try these relaxed NYDJ Petite Stretch Boyfriend Jeans ($134) for a comfortable pick.
6 Ann Taylor
With an entire section devoted to petite women (brava, Ann Taylor), this store also boasts one of the best-fitting pairs of jeans for shorter women. Ann Taylor offers a remarkable 27" inseam with the added bonus of either a curvy or modern fit — an offering hard to come by in most petite sections. We currently love these Ann Taylor Modern All Day Skinny Jeans ($89) for their ultraflattering fit.
