Flare jeans for those of shorter stature

BrieN

Has anyone found a nice dark flare jean with an inseam sized for petites or those 5’5” -ish or below?
I love all those Frame jeans but I’m not 5’10”....

Hi Brie --

In general, you might nose around Paige as the line carries petites.

Several years ago I bought dark wash, high-rise Paige Bell Canyon flares -- still around on some sites -- but you'd have to hem. I wear them with heels to get to 5'6+ and still had to have them cut off a mile.

But there's PLENTY of flare left...def more than my bootcuts. In fact I think the smaller flare works better for me than the original.

So if you like the fit of the Frame through thigh and knee, maybe try a preview of how they'd look, if not quite hang, at your preferred length.

I don't think it will make too much difference at 5ft 5. Try the Frame jeans and pin at the desired length with the right footwear. My guess is that the flare will be fine.

Vix is right, try Paige.

As a petite, I find flares look better if the knee break falls in the right spot.

You could check Anthropologie. They often have petite sizes for flares. Other places to try are J. Crew, Madewell, BR, and the Gap.

I'm a stickler for the flare starting at the right place (at the knee), so I am on the hunt too. I'm 5'2".

How about Boden - they do shorter length jeans but I think they are for 5ft 2 or less - might be worth a look though.
