Where can I find skinny jeans with extremely small leg openings (8" or less)?

StephanieLeigh

I have average size thighs but tiny tweety bird calves and ankles. Most "super skinny" jeans or jeggings have 10 or 11 inch leg openings.

Even if you don't know the exact measurements, do you know of any jeans that seem unusually tight in the calf?

no. My legs and calves are narrow so that skinny jeans look like straights on me. You might try Junior sizes or teen departments. My most narrow on the calves is Jessica Simpson from Cosco. They are also cropped..

Thanks. I'll try to find a store that carries them when I'm on vacation next week. I hope they haven't changed the calf size yet. Most brands don't continue selling jeans with 8" leg openings for more than a season or two, presumably because hardly anyone buys them. None of the brands that I used to rely on still sell jeans with ankles less than 10".

I recently bought a pair of embroidered jeans from Free People that are extremely small in the calf, even on me (12" calves). FP carries a variety of designers, so I'm sure not all of their jeans fit like this. I would say this is the smallest-calf pair of jeans I've ever tried on.

A couple of years ago, I bought a pair of white jeans from Loft that was also very skinny in the calf and ankle.

I have a pair of J. Crew white jeans that is pretty narrow also.

Gigi, that is sooo helpful. I asked a similar question many years ago on this forum, when I used to be active on here under a different username. People tried to help, but all the suggested jeans that I could find in my area turned out to be at least 10". It's great to get answers from people who actually have very slim calves, not just slim legs. Even most models have mych bigger calves than I do even though theyre legs seem much slimmer than mine over all. I can totally understand how other people with supermodel slim legs would automatically assume that they have tiny calves, even though most do not.

I tried to find out the current leg opening size of Loft jeggings, and I found some old ebay listings that say the openings are 6 or 7 inches. Damn! I hope they're still making them so small. Thanks again Gigi!

Edit: Their current skinny jeans REALLY don't look like they have 7" leg openings. It seems like they already changed the fit. I will probably still try them on, just in case. Free people looks promising, but they sell too many overpriced novelty jeans. They're not one of the high end brands that I'd normally pay full price for, but I can't help but obsess over finding skin-tight jeans. What is wrong with me

I have to admit, THIS looks like 8 or even 7". They look uncomfortably tight on the models knees and calves, but they will probably look more like normal jeggings on me: https://www.freepeople.com/sho.....se-skinny/
I might have no choice but to visit Free People. Most of their skinny jeans look crazy tight.
