The most useful information is often the inseam. Petite jeans may also adjust the rise and knee placement, which affects how straight, bootcut and flared styles fall.

Read the size guide

Look for exact inseam measurements rather than relying only on the word petite. Check whether the brand offers short, extra-short or several leg lengths.

Choose the cut

Straight and slim cuts are easy to alter. With flares and wide legs, the original knee and hem placement matters more, so a true petite cut can be especially useful.
