What does 'Petite' really mean?

Posted on 0 comments

Calling all our babes that stand a little shorter than the rest, this one is for you! 

Do you find picking a pair of jeans sometimes impossible because they all leave you having to have hems that drag along the floor? Or having to fold them up a few times at the ankles? Or take them to get altered?

Did you know there is now the perfect solution for you that will stop you from having to do any of those things!!


The word petite is what you're looking for when it comes to buying your jeans!


Now to clear up a few misconceptions around the word ‘petite’, it’s not just another word for ‘tiny’ or ‘small’.


‘Petite’ is actually designed for women 5'4” (162 cm) and under, regardless of their size. For comparison regular jeans are made for women between 5’5” and 5’8”. So the word ‘petite’ refers to one's height.

 

Below we have put side by side - Cam who is 156cm and Rachael who is 163cm, they wear petite jeans, next to Elli who is 172cm, and Maggie who is 172cm and would both normally wear regular jeans. As you can see petite jeans are 5-7cm shorter and proportionally tailored to suit shorter girls
 
 

We offer a wide range of petite jeans, from high-waisted to low-waisted, and in different styles such as skinny, slim, straight, and wide. We have something for everyone’s needs! Check out our petite jean range here. 

We hope we have helped clear up some misunderstandings around the word petite and helped our shorter babes have a better experience shopping for their fave jeans!
