Welcome to New Arrivals, where R29 editors test out the latest pieces from their favorite brands and share their top looks. Whether you’re overwhelmed by the number of places to shop or trying to hone in your personal style, come along as we explore ‘fits, fabrics, styling potential, and more by sorting through the virtual and IRL shelves at our go-to shopping destinations.
If you’re looking to mix nostalgic ‘90s style while diving into the trendy fisherman aesthetic, you’re in luck! Everlane’s new arrivals — and more specifically, its 90s Forever Edit — are packed with wardrobe staples that are both on-trend and timeless. After trying on several pieces myself, I can confidently say the designs are versatile, and the quality is worth the investment. (I now own the Merino wool cardigan and the darted mini dress below). Plus, Everlane is transparent about its sustainability initiatives and organic materials, so you can add styles to your closet with clarity, knowing they’re built to last and kind to the environment.
While I’d previously only tried Everlane’s barrel-leg jeans, my longtime admiration for the brand — and the feedback from Refinery29 readers who swear by it — compelled me to put more styles to the test. (Truly, as much as readers look to R29 for shopping suggestions, I love to flip the script by diving deeper into the brands that resonate most.) Spoiler alert: You all love Everlane, and I see why. From wide-leg jeans and jorts to blazers, trench coats, ballet flats, and boat shoes galore, Everlane’s new offerings are perfect for building office-approved “uniforms,” casual off-duty outfits, and spring party looks.
Read on to check out some of my favorite pieces and see how I styled them for various warm-weather occasions to spark your own spring outfit ideas.
Everlane New Arrivals: Spring-Ready Wardrobe Staples
If these sunny Mary Jane ballet flats immediately put a smile on your face, same! And yes, the leather is as buttery yellow as the color suggests. I styled them with denim and many of my go-to tops for casual looks that I’ll definitely be recreating all season long. While the striped T-shirt (hello, nautical vibes) and jorts (totally Rachel Green-approved) are great for weekend plans, I’d pair the dark-wash jeans with these flats for the office or a dinner outing.
Everlane New Arrivals: Red-Hot Party & Workwear
The ‘90s edit features several pops of red, and I’m here for it. Although the hue isn’t one you immediately associate with spring, it’s as vibrant and fresh as a batch of cherries — sa-weet! For work, try the red square-neck bodysuit under tailored suiting separates, and for nights out, opt for the dress version to serve ‘90s supermodel vibes. (Both pieces are super-stretchy and breathable — bonus points!) You can even experiment with tonal red shoes, like Everlane’s signature Day Glove flat.
Everlane New Arrivals: Fisherman Aesthetic-Approved
If there was ever a time to take the TikTok-viral fisherman aesthetic for a spin, this was it. From the khaki anorak and trench coat to the blue-and-white pinstripe tops, I put together two outfits that are both seaside-ready and city-appropriate. I loved the anorak from one look (a hero piece for transitional weather) and the baggy jeans from the other (so cool and casual), but Everlane’s new boat shoes really up-leveled these looks. I have to admit, the nautical-meets-preppy vibes have officially grown on me.
Everlane New Arrivals: Preppy Warm-Weather Vibes
Even when I ventured out of my comfort zone with a preppy look, it turned out adorable and sweet — I kind of felt like Sandy from Grease, from the retro white-and-yellow palette to the cutesy cardigan — very Hopelessly Devoted to You nightgown vibes but for day. I draped the brand’s cardigan over my shoulders (a popular NYFW styling trend) atop the linen A-line dress (which is forgiving with a bit of stretch, making it a favorite). And the mini bucket bag? Perfect as a crossbody when you’re feeling it.
I didn’t get a chance to try on the collection’s once-divisive capris, but you can still shop them below, along with other new arrivals worth adding to your spring wardrobe.

Many of Jenny Bird’s statement silver and gold earrings, bracelets, necklaces, and more will be discounted at 25% off during the two-day sale. (Just note that all purchases are final sale!)

Calling all sneakerheads. We’ve found a one-stop shop for all your athleisure needs: JD Sports. JD Sports sells must-have activewear and loungewear as well as the latest sneaker launches. But its JD Global Access collection is its biggest highlight. It features on-trend styles in exclusive colorways that no other retailers sell, meaning you can really stand out from the crowd in your limited-edition kicks.
Ahead, we scoured the retailer’s new arrivals and Global Access offerings to find which spring and summer sneaker trends you can test out while shopping all in one place. Whether you’re into chunky hiking shoes or slim sporty styles, and whether you’re drawn to neutrals or vibrant hues, JD Sports has a variety of sneakers ready to be carted up and strutted around this season.
Festival-Ready Sneakers
When we think of the festival shoes we should actually wear during long, steamy (and sometimes muddy) days, we’re all about a chunky dad sneaker or hiking shoe. They’re supportive, durable no matter the weather or terrain, and are ideal for running between stages. Look to JD Sports for many neutral options that’ll match the scenery, or choose a darker style that’ll hide any inevitable dirt and grass stains.
Retro Sporty Sneakers
Slim sporty sneakers aren’t going anywhere, so it’s definitely worth hopping on this retro bandwagon. Whether you’re into a soccer-cleat inspired shoe that’s minimalist in design or a retro basketball-inspired high tops, you can take on the sporty trend in a variety of ways. Choose a neutral color-combo for everyday wear or go bold with a vibrant color for a statement that’ll stop people in their tracks.
Mocha Mousse Sneakers
After Mocha Mousse was declared the 2025 Pantone color of the year, we’ve been spotting browns everywhere, and especially on sneakers. Stick to one shade for a clean look or choose a style with several shades and dimension for a stylish smorgasbord of walnut, caramel, and chocolate tones.
Candy-Colored Sneakers
If you’re more inclined to be playful with your sneakers, consider vibrant uppers or pops of color that‘ll get you into the spring and summer spirit. From extreme Lemonhead yellows and watermelon Sour Patch greens to more subtle bubblegum pinks and cotton-candy blues, these colorways and combos are as sweet as they are surprising (and they also all happen to be trending this season).

As a team with several editors and contributors under 5’4”, we believe that good things can come in small packages. Check back for our go-to places and styling advice on petite denim, outerwear, and so much more.
As a person who stands at 5’2″, I understand firsthand the struggle of finding a solid pair of petite jeans that don’t require more than a simple cuff to get the length just right. I’ve grown comfortable buying regular-length denim and slicing the hem with fabric shears, but I know not everyone is into the frayed hem look. I also understand that not everyone has the budget or time to take their jeans to a tailor who can preserve the original design.
You’ll always meet fashion people who swear by a certain denim style or brand, but even when comparing notes with other short-legged folks, the search for the best petite jeans feels like a never-ending game of trial and error — what feels right for one body type or personal style won’t always translate to another.. (Though we all love fantasizing about a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants moment.) So, at the recommendation of fellow short fashion colleagues, friends, and shop reviewers, we present a list of our current favorite petite denim styles. This isn’t perfect or entirely comprehensive, but we aim to cover brands that offer a range of washes, fits, stretch levels, and silhouettes all specifically suited to those 5’3″ and under. These jeans are designed to be worn straight off the rack — no tailoring needed.
Before you dive into your denim search, I highly recommend first finding your inseam and saving it in your Notes app. It’ll be invaluable when checking size and fit details. To determine it, grab your favorite pair of (non-drop-crotch) pants and measure from the crotch to the bottom hem. A true petite style is usually no longer than 27 inches, though some brands insist that 30 inches is petite — which, ahem, it’s not. (Most short folks I know have inseams between 23 to 26 inches.) With this number, you can find jeans that’ll actually fit your bottom half, add an inch for a longer length, or subtract an inch for a high-waist look. And don’t forget the classic trick: Search for “cropped” or “ankle” jeans at any retailer that offers those filters (y’know, the ones that hit at the ankle on taller frames but are full-length on petites). Consider this easiest hack for the short stuff.
It’s rare for a denim brand to offer two petite lengths (let alone one), but AYR is all about providing options. Customers can choose between a 25- or 27-inch inseam, which may contribute to this jean’s sell-out power and its 4.7 out of five-star rating from 2,178 reviews. Petite shoppers praise them with feedback like, “These are the most comfortable jeans I’ve ever tried on, and I have tried soooo many designer brands… Am 5’2″ and 112 lbs. and I got a size 26 with the shorter inseam which is perfect. I am usually wearing leggings on the weekend but am so happy that I have a pair of jeans that are just as comfortable!”
A&F offers jeans in sizes 23 to 37, with extra-short, short, regular, long, and extra-long lengths. (You can read more about the brand’s much-adored denim rebrand in our A&F review.) This best-seller has over 1,000 five-star reviews, including one from a 5’1″ customer who raves, “Love these jeans! Super comfortable in the legs, they have plenty of stretch. Very high-waisted […] but that’s how I like them.”
Shopbop is one of our top petite shopping destinations thanks to its detailed sizing measurements and easy-to-use denim filter. (Under the Clothing category, you can sort the retailer’s massive collection by Cropped Jeans or Ankle Jeans.) Agolde is a top-selling brand on there, and this cropped jean features a precise 25.25-inch inseam that petites love.
“I’m 5’1″, 34B, 123 lbs. (hips/butt), and a true size 27 in all the other denim I own,” writes one reviewer. Another adds: “I think people need to realize that Rise and Inseam will re-adjust your waist sizing[,] so I’m thankful Shopbop lists both of those because they matter for petite girls like me… Also, being 5’1,” the inseam of 25.25 fits me like an actual pant (not cropped). Love the quality of this style and wash, you won’t be disappointed if you get your sizing right. Trust me!”
Madewell’s best-selling petite-fit jeans come highly recommended by Refinery29’s senior writer, Karina Hoshikawa, who raves about their 25-inch inseam and lived-in vintage feel. Reviewers agree, praising these jeans for balancing out softness and comfort with sturdiness, and a stretch that accommodates for curves. “This black jean is perfect. I have a hard time finding jeans that fit over my thighs and butt but this one is perfect,” writes one. “I’m only 4’10 and I don’t have to do a thing to these jeans. Some Madewell petite pants still need a little hem but it’s always a bonus when I can put on a new pair and go.”
Bianca Caampued, the 5’0″ founder of Tulsa Creative Engine and co-founder of Small Girls PR, tells us, “Before owning the agency, I was someone raised by and working at fashion magazines” — so she knows Levi’s has always been the gold standard of denim. Fortunately for petites, “the brand adjusts by leg length and not just waist width,” she says, “so I can browse by 26-inch inseams specifically.”
Free People’s petite jeans are yet another reason to love the retailer. We’re especially into the petite-ified versions of the brand’s best-sellers, like these barrel-leg jeans from We The Free. Bonus: They come in under $100. I can attest that, at 5’2”, the short version of these jeans fit like a dream. (You can see me styling a patchwork version of this design here with ballet flats, no problem; no weird bunching, pooling, or being ‘drowned’ by all that fabric.)
Your love of Mother Denim is about to grow deeper with the Lil’Mother collection, designed specifically for those 5’4″ and under. This line features petite-minded adjustments to its already beloved denim collection, like higher knee placement and shorter inseams, ensuring a better fit for shorter frames.
Looking for wide-leg jeans that won’t swallow your petite frame? Maeve’s bestselling pair ticks all the boxes. Sturdy, thick denim? Yep. A 24” inseam, high-waist, and cropped silhouette? Indeed. A statement pocket that draws the eye up and makes your legs look miles long? You betcha. Don’t just take our word for it — this style boasts a 4.5 out of five-star rating and over 1,700 reviews on Anthropologie.
Frame will forever be one of our favorite denim brands. It’s known for quality, fit, and comfort. It also has a petite line, Le Pixie. The Arrow jeans have the perfect soft bootleg silhouette, tailored three inches shorter than the full-length version and with a higher-cut knee, from which the subtle flare kicks out (rather than halfway down your calf).
Don’t sleep on Gap jeans — they’re not only better than ever, but you can filter your search by “Length” for easy browsing. Most denim styles come in Regular, Petite, or Tall, with sizes ranging from 24 to 35. This trendy barrel jean, available in a 27-inch inseam, is perfect for those 5’4″ and under.
In addition to being size-inclusive, Good American is also height-conscious, offering an entire line, Good Petite, dedicated to shorter fits in sizes 00 to 32.
The brand’s bestselling Always Fits jeans are a game-changer, especially for those who fluctuate between sizes. Stretching across four different sizes (with sizing options for sizes 00-4, 6-12, 14-18, 2-16, and 28-32), the high-stretch jeans adapt to your body’s monthly, yearly, or even weekly changes so you can feel comfortable without that typical jean tugging or tightness. Now available in a shorter 25.5″ length, they’re an even better fit for petite people, too.
We asked our friends at the aptly named Small Girls PR to share the denim they swear by. Mary Whitlock, VP at the fashion and lifestyle firm, swears by a particular J.Crew style: “I am 4’11” and curvy, so I have a very hard time finding petite jeans, and these are the only ones that have fit me without needing to be tailored.”
Plus, the brand’s filtering system makes shopping easy — under the Size & Fit category, you can select Petite or filter by Length to find Cropped or Ankle styles.
Petite shoppers should get to know Nelle Atelier, a denim brand designed for those under 5’4″. One happy customer raves, “I never leave reviews, but I am so glad I found these jeans!! They are amazing. I have already worn them three days in a row since I’ve gotten them!”
Petite and think you can pull off flare jeans? Try these from Pistola, which offers high-quality denim at affordable prices, including trendy styles like this, made specifically for those 5’4″ and under.
Great jeans for under $100? Yes, please. Universal Standard is known for its inclusive sizing — offering styles in sizes 00 to 40, including petites — at an affordable price. Take it from this reviewer: “I am 5’2 with a large tummy (PCOS) and these jeans are the only ones I have found that fit me super well. I [buy] size 18P and they are the perfect size and length! I wore my originals for about two years almost daily until they needed to be retired and immediately ordered more. Please keep this style!!!!”
Finding flared jeans as a petite person can be a challenge — if you opt for a regular-length flare, you end up cutting off the signature part of the style. Luckily, Never Fully Dressed has come through with this petite pair that’s incredibly comfortable and stylish, boasting statement scalloped-edge pockets and a faded, vintage-inspired wash.
Reformation has become one of our go-tos for denim, and the brand’s petite section is worth a browse. Increasingly, the brand is offering more jeans styles with a 27″ inseam, especially classic straight-leg silhouettes, subtle wide-leg cuts, and chic dark washes like these that suit formal dress codes. (Note: Ref’s petite jeans are described as “cropped” on site.)
For a classic-fitting, straight-leg jean, Everlane has the perfect style. And, with leg length options of 26.5, 28.5, and 30.5 inches, there’s a fit for everyone. Being 100% cotton, they also have that heavy denim feel and are rather rigid. (Note: According to the onsite description/reviews, these run large, so consider sizing down for a more figure-hugging fit.)
Ann Taylor’s petite denim collection is one of the best in the biz. They offer the same trend-led designs as for our long-legged counterparts, but rather than simply crop these and call it a day, they tailor them to fit and flatter petite frames. For example, take these sleek, dark wash flares with a 28.5″ leg. The high-rise waist is designed to sit half an inch to a full inch below your natural waist, and the flare starts at your knee and not halfway down your calf — a subtle shape that drapes effortlessly, rather than swallowing up your feet. This denim is also made with a small percentage of spandex for extra stretch and support.
Boden has a dedicated petite jeans section featuring trend-led denim styles. Our top pick is this dark-wash, wide-leg design with a 29-inch leg length — they look structured and formal enough to wear to work but are actually soft and comfortable enough for all-day wear.
