We'll just say it: We were right. If you don't already know what we're talking about, these full-length jeans are defined by trouser-like wide legs and a waist-cinching high rise. We know that wide-leg jeans can be intimidating if you're used to wearing more fitted styles (ahem, skinnies), which is why the high rise is crucial here. Based on what we saw coming down the runways, infiltrating Instagram, and landing at our favorite retailers, we called out the next big non–skinny jeans trend when it was first bubbling up. Well, that was at the start of last year, and if you cut to the present day, the denim trend in question-high-rise wide-leg jeans-has fully taken over the fashion scene. To make your search even easier, we sorted them according to fit and style for easy reference - straight-leg, skinny, flare and bootcut, wide-leg, distressed, and plus-size.If you read Who What Wear on the reg, you know that we tend to make a lot of trend predictions. You’ll notice that while there are plenty of cropped and short options on here, there are also some that aren’t petite-specific, but the women we spoke to say they still fit their frames. “Petites should feel confident about their stature and not feel treated like an afterthought,” says Jenny Wang, who founded the petite-clothing shop Petite Studio NYC with that in mind. These photographers, content creators, shop owners, and more have excellent style and have tried on lots of denim so you don’t have to. To save you a trip to the tailor, we asked ten stylish women - all five-foot-three or shorter - about the denim that fits them just right. Just when you’ve found a pair with the right rise, shade, and waist-to-hip ratio, you realize you need to trim the length a half-foot. But for the petite, the search is even more winding. Shopping for the perfect pair of jeans is very needle-in-a-haystack-y.
