Description

Sitting at the natural waist and falling straight from the hip: a clean line with no taper and no distressing, in a substantial denim that holds its shape through a day rather than bagging at the knee.

The 24 inch inseam is the reason these are here. They are cut short on purpose, to end above the boot, which is the alteration most jeans need and almost none come with.

The fabric

A substantial structured denim with a little give. Five-pocket styling and a smooth front over the hip, so nothing interrupts the line when a top is tucked in.

How it fits

The back of the waistband is elastic, which is what makes the sizing generous: the S stretches to a 27 inch waist, the L to 32. The front stays flat, so they still look like proper jeans. Rise 11 inches, inseam 24 inches.

Looking after it

Wash it inside out, cold, as rarely as you can stand – denim fades at the fold lines first and a hot wash takes the indigo with it. Hang to dry rather than tumbling, which is what shortens a leg by half an inch.

For petite clothes for women that inseam means no hemming, which is rare enough to be the whole reason to buy them. The straightest, plainest korean fashion jeans we stock and a sound piece of petite fashion for women.

Why we took this one

A 24 inch inseam on a straight-leg jean is unusual and it is the reason these are here. They are meant to end above the boot, so a shorter leg looks deliberate rather than altered.

An alteration costs money and the original hem, which on denim is half of what you were buying. Starting at a 24 inch inseam means the pair that arrives is the pair you wear, and the proportion is the designer's rather than a tailor's guess. It is the most useful thing in petite fashion for women and the rarest.

Three ways to wear it

  • Boots — leather ankle boots, which the short inseam is designed to show.
  • Heels — a sleek heel with a knit tucked in, for the evening version.
  • Layered — with a long coat, where the ankle break keeps the line clean.

Before you order

The back of the waistband is elastic, which is what makes the sizing generous: the S stretches to a 27 inch waist, the L to 32. Rise 11 inches, inseam 24 inches. That inseam is the unusual part and the reason to buy them — for petite clothes for women it means no hemming at all. They will look odd with a trainer unless you are short enough for the hem to sit on the shoe, so think boots first.
