Jeans For Short Legs

[inAbottle]

I'm also 5'2 so I have teh same problem looking for the perfect jeans to flatter my SHORT legs. Should I stick to low rise jeans or not?

Try the Joe's Jeans Provocateur style. It's specifically made for petites. =)

Some stores, like Nordstrom and Ron Herman, offer complimentary alterations when you buy jeans from their store.

As for what rises make you legs look longer, I think it also depends on your proportions. For example, you can be short but have long legs in proportion to your body. Alternatively, you can be tall but have a long torso, making your legs short in proportion to your height. A general rule of thumb would be that the higher the rise, the longer it will make your legs appear.

^^ i agree.. the more high-waisted the pant the longer your legs will look...

by that same idea you also don't want to get your pants tailored too short...
the closer the hem is to the floor the longer your legs will look..

it's all about creating an illusion
