10 Best High Waisted Bootcut Jeans for Petites: No Hem Needed

It's so hard to find a good pair of ivory bootcut jeans that fit well and make you feel good. These Madewell bootcut jeans come in several different washes and different lengths including petite. The best part is that it has a touch of stretch for a broken-in feel.

One verified purchaser said, "I love the fit of these jeans, and the vintage ivory wash is perfect. Since it's not a bright white, these are perfect for transitioning into spring. They are not see-through! They look great and are very flattering. White jeans can be tricky sometimes, but these are perfection. You will want to add these to your denim rotation!"

Favorite Daughter is one of my lowkey favorite brands. Founded by Erin and Sara Foster, they’re hilarious and also make great clothes. This petite version is called “The Shortie,” which is pretty cute, and it comes in a dark wash with 98% cotton for that classic denim feel.

One petite mom even said they were the first pair she loved postpartum because they somehow hid her tummy and didn’t crease in the thighs. If you’re under 5'3", you may want a slight hem for flats, but with boot heels? Perfect.

If you're petite, you already know Abercrombie is a lifesaver. They offer tons of denim styles in short and extra short lengths, so you can skip the trip to the tailor. Plus, their prices are pretty reasonable considering the quality of their denim.

One petite buyer said, "I'm 5'2" and 125lbs, the 27 short fit me perfectly. The denim is thick and rigid but they're still super comfortable and they make my legs look so long! please make them in more colors!

These J.Crew bootcut jeans remind me of the ones Victoria Beckham always wears to elongate her figure, except these are under $200! This timeless silhouette features a flattering high rise fit and a subtle bootcut leg. Pair it with a white tucked in t shirt, a statement belt and boot. Based on the reviews, these run big.

Gap brought back their ‘70s flare with a modern fit. They hug the hips and thighs and have just enough stretch to hold their shape. They’re also part of Gap’s Washwell program, which uses less water in production.

If you want premium denim, Paige is worth the splurge. These have a vintage look with mixed metal hardware and Paige’s “Transcend Vintage” fabric, which somehow feels like worn in jeans but stretches enough to move with you.

Available in several washes, they’re made specifically for women 5’4” and under, so no hemming needed.

A classic black bootcut that works with everything. The fit is sleek, the fabric has just the right stretch, and they’re ideal with heels or boots. If you want them for flats, grab the shorter length.

These are made from a cotton-elastane blend, so they have just the right amount of stretch without losing their sturdy shape.

I love the wash on these Levi’s bootcut jeans - they have that effortless, lived-in look. Style them with a white tank, brown suede boots, and a cozy cardigan for an easy, put-together outfit.

P.S. If you’re petite, go for the 30” or 32” length for the best fit!

These bootcut jeans are from the Curve Love collection from Abercrombie for my petite curvy girls. They also have tons of different denim styles to check out.

One petite buyer said, "I purchased extra short size 26. I’m 118lbs and 5’1. Perfect length with my new balance tennis shoes and no alteration needed. I love my new flare jean!"
