What looks best on a petite girl- skinny jeans or straight-leg jeans?

I am 5″6, 110 pounds and wear a 2 size pant. My waist is very long but my legs are short. The widest part on me are my thighs, and I have athletic calf muscles. I can’t decide what type of jeans to purchase. I want my legs to look LONG and SLIM! What would you recommend? Straight-leg or skinnies? Thanks!!

    then dont do skinny. They’ll make you look fat. Very few people can pull off skinny jeans and look good in them. go for the straight leg.

    skinnies for sure they will make u look longer and slim for sure, wear ugg boots with them and you’ll look even slimmer
    straight leg jeans will make you look short and stubby :)

    well actually…a slight flare jean is the most flattering and will elongate you, while evenly hitting your thigh it gives a very slimming look. if you are going for skinny jeans just make sure they arent to tight, or they may over excentuate your thighs which may be unflattering. Hope this helps!

    just so you are aware you are not petite when you are 5′6″ tall. Petite is anybody who is under 5′4″ tall. that said, a straight leg, mid rise, dark wash jean is the most flattering style on anybody. skinny jeans actually will make you look bigger, especially if you have an atheltic build in your calfs. you could also try a slight boot cut as well. but keep with the dark wash, non distressed styles.

    i love the diva and hottie styles from It! Jeans.
