After asking my readers if they have ever faced a denim dilemma it was very clear that most women in some way also struggle to find the perfect fit, many with similar problems to mine in terms of length as the standard size is really not one size fit's all and is equally a problem for not only petite women but also taller ones.
Some of the other common issue which were apparent is having a different size around the thighs and waist leaving gaps and ill fitted sections or skinny jeans becoming baggy in certain areas or simply not knowing how to pick the right style for the look you are trying to achieve or for your body shape.
Marks and Spencer 's got in touch to see if I could find the perfect pair for myself from their large range of jeans and jeggings and I was really excited to take this challenge on because it's hard enough to find a pair in store that fit let alone order a pair online with the hope it may actually fit but with their easy to navigate website I felt like I was off to a good start.
I immediately noticed that they had a petite section so narrowed down my search straight away, I knew from the start I wanted a style I would be able to wear on a daily basis while running after my kids but didn't sacrifice on style. I decided to go for the Relaxed Skinny Jeans in Grey and they are proving to be a true staple to my wardrobe. Initially I was worried they would still be too long but they come in two sizes – short for 5'3 and under and extra short, so I opted for the extra short on the ankle and they fitted perfectly! If you need some guidance or inspiration on the different jean fits and cuts check out this Denim Style guide.

The denim jean really can be
a mothers best friend as they are so durable, comfortable and
practical but are also so easy to style up or down and are completely
ageless and always on-trend and are a total must. I love to pair them
up with something fun and colourful such as this watermelon printed
tee from fellow blogger TigerLillyQuinn shop (the shop is currently closed) and my biker style jacket from M&S and a
pair of Superga trainers for a fun and easy look daytime look.

Some super helpful tips and tricks, thanks Laura :-D xx
ReplyDeleteThere are only two places I buy my jeans from and M and S are one of these. I love it that they do petite sizes. In fact I bought a pair of jeggings in there last week in Cardiff and they are the perfect leg length!
ReplyDeleteI bought the perfect pair in the childrens department. I am also short and they were just the right size for me.

ReplyDeleteI always struggle to find jeans that fit me I think I must be in between sizes they're either baggy at the back or too tight around the legs.
