Wide-Leg Jeans Five Ways

Wide-leg jeans continue to be a trendy choice for fall 2023. When it comes to wearing this style when you’re petite I have a few tips for balancing the look:

High-rise options help elongate your legs.
Choose a cropped or tucked-in top. It also helps if you expose your wrists or forearms by pushing back your sleeves or wearing a short-sleeve option.
If you want to wear layers with wide-leg jeans, keep your bottom layer slim and tucked in.
You can wear flats with wide-leg jeans, but I would choose light/neutral options that show a little skin when possible. As the weather cools, boots in a lighter color are best for not adding extra weight. Wearing heels will make you look longer and taller. I went with flat options in this post.

My Sizing: I’m 4’10” and my bust, waist, and hip measurements are 32″, 24″ and 36″. My typical inseam is 24-25″. The clothes shown are unaltered and show how they fit me right from the store. I list my sizing beside each item to help you compare when shopping online.
