Which Style to Pick?
>>Jeans with straight legs are one of the best picks for petite women. These give a vertical look to the legs that help women look leaner and taller. Make sure, you go for the right length.
>>If you are thin or medium-sized, skinny jeans are the right choice for you. These will instantly give you a taller appearance.
>>A slight boot cut is another great idea.This is the perfect style for those who are short and have a triangle or an hourglass shaped figure. Remember, a slight boot cut!

>>Wide leg styles can be opted for by those who have a fuller figure. The wide leg trouser style will give a proportionate look to your figure. You must avoid the slim cut.
>>Women with small hips can go for low-rise straight leg jeans or a slight boot cut.

Styles that You Should Not Opt For
>>Short women with fuller figures must avoid low-rise jeans. Worn with a belt these make your hips look larger and legs shorter.
>>Large flares or full bell-bottoms are a strict no-no.
>>Don't go for those baggy carpenter jeans, stick to the fitting pair.
>>Don't go for a longer length to make yourself look taller. This will not help. Remember that your jeans must just skim the top of your shoes, so as to increase your visible height.
>>Never cuff the jeans at the bottom. This is a common style available in the capris, but stay away from this fashion. A cuff will cut off your height.

Consider a Hem Job

One important thing you need to remember is to shop by the hip size and not by the waist size. A right fitting jeans is one that fits perfectly at the hips. If it's loose at waist, just get it altered. Also, you must go for long jeans that fit perfectly at your waist and hips and then you can get the height altered for the right fit.
You can find a skinny jeans in the regular section, instead of the petite clothing section which has lesser options. Get its height shortened, according to your requirement. Also, if a pair of jeans is fitting perfectly up to your knees, get the lower leg part altered.
Remember to take it to a professional and you have a perfect pair ready to wear. An important tip is that you must wash it before you get it hemmed, as many have a possibility of shrinkage.

Choose the Suitable Colors

Any jeans looks good in a uniform color. Moreover, it is a good idea to stick to a dark wash for the boot cuts or straight leg variants. You can experiment with lighter shades in the skinny jeans, especially the stonewashed blue denims which are a favorite of many.
You can also check out the other shades of denims, especially the darker ones like gray, black, or slate which can be an alternative to the usual blue denims.
Though the pastels might look fancy, its best to avoid them. Remember that darker shades will give you a slender and taller appearance.

Pair with the Right Footwear

Your task doesn't end at choosing the right jeans and wearing it. The right pair of footwear makes a huge difference in your appearance. One should actually shop for the footwear first and then go searching for the jeans.
It is not necessary that you buy a new pair, but it's just as important that you try out the jeans along with the footwear that you will be pairing with the same.
Usually pencil heels are a preferred choice. These look great and help in adding height.A peep-toe with a pencil heel is also a good option. Do not go for knee-high shoes as these will make you appear shorter.
Besides the aforementioned tips, there's one more tip that you need to remember. Trying out! Yes, make sure you have a trial of each and every pair that you find suitable, even though it's of the same brand or size as the one you tried out before.
The trial room is definitely the right place to find a perfect pair of jeans. Also, don't go for a designer jeans, due to its 'designer' tag, you can also check out other cheap brands, which can have the right piece for you.
