This weekend Abercrombie is running their biggest denim promo of the year, with 25% off all denim and 15% off almost everything else! They also reactivated my code AFJEAN for the weekend, which stacks on the promo for an additional 15% off.

The Best Abercrombie Jeans Styles for Petites

Their many styles and 5 length options (!) are awesome but sometimes confusing, so I wanted to review and compare a few of their best options for petites:

  1. The high rise ankle jean – shown on me in the “light” wash
  2. The high rise 90s straight jean – shown on me in the “medium” wash
  3. The high rise 90’s relaxed jean – shown on me in the “medium marble” wash
1. Ultra High Rise Ankle Straight Jean

Without a doubt, these are my #1 most-worn style denim since discovering them last year. And if you’re still gradually branching out from skinny jeans, then I’d start here. These are versatile and practical, and are the shortest, most petite-friendly straight jeans I’ve found that actually have a finished hem (not frayed / raw cut).

In this comparison pic, styles # 1 and # 2 look pretty similar, but the main differences lie in the lengths and fabric. The 90’s jeans are full-length style in thicker, more rigid vintage-y denim, while the ankle jeans are a cropped length jean in thinner denim.

A&F size chart indicates that “Extra Short” is designed for customers below 5 feet, and “Short” is ideal for customers who are between 5′ and 5’3.” I’m 5 feet tall and I liked the Short in this style best for just a slightly cropped length.

Measurements: Size 24 Short is 12.25“ across the waist, 11“rise, 24.5“ inseam.
