The Rankings
Kut From The Kloth Donna High Waist Ankle Skinny Jeans
WHY YOU NEED IT: This dark-indigo wash can be worn with just about anything. Complete with an extra bit of stretch, these jeans are perfect for working from home.
LOVED FOR: According to rave reviews, these jeans feel soft and broken in on the first wear.
Old Navy High-Waisted Power Slim Straight Jeans
WHY YOU NEED IT: With its straight leg, frayed hem, and dark wash, this fit flatters all body shapes.
USERS SAID: “I’m a lover of the high-waisted straight leg and instantly loved these. They aren’t exactly mom jeans, which is my usual style, but they are pretty close and more work appropriate. Highly recommend for young people in the office.”
Gap Mid Rise True Skinny Jeans In Sculpt
LOVED FOR: These jeans provide all of Gap’s original Sculpt contouring and support but are so much more comfortable. Plus, they're designed with lightweight material so you can comfortably wear them year-round.
USERS SAID: “These jeans are the best that have ever fit me. Everything about them is perfect for my shape and size. I love how comfortable they are, but they also keep me slender (I think this is where the 'sculpt' word comes in).”
Madewell The Petite Curvy Perfect Vintage Jean
WHY YOU NEED IT: Calling all curvy girls: this tapered classic has been expertly re-engineered for all you hourglass-shaped ladies. The narrow waistband contours and the longer rise provides some extra room at the hips and thighs.
STYLE WITH: Wear these vintage-style jeans with a dressy white blouse for an effortless fall look.
Old Navy High-Waisted Rockstar Super Skinny Jean
LOVED FOR: Designed with Never-Quit Shape Retention, these jeans hold you in to provide an instant slimming effect and confidence boost.
USERS SAID: “I bought these in the petite size, and I have no regrets. As a shorty, I'm always struggling to find jeans I don't have to cuff or aren't hanging off my feet by 20 inches. I'm also obsessed with how these jeans do not stretch out during the day. They keep their shape super nicely!”
Reformation Petites Cynthia High Relaxed Jean
WHY YOU NEED IT: These cropped straight-leg jeans will add a little bit of flair to even the simplest of outfits, and as a bonus, they’ll make your figure look great too. With a high rise fit and finished hem, these jeans hug the hips and butt and taper down for a looser fitting leg.
HELPFUL TIP: To achieve a more comfortable fit, we recommend sizing up.
Old Navy Mid-Rise Super Skinny Jean
WHY YOU NEED IT: These jeans combine a flattering super-skinny shape, soft jegging-like comfort, and the latest washes, all at a WOW-worthy low price. Soft, medium-weight denim with comfortable stretch to flatter all figures.

Wit & Wisdom Jeggings
WHY YOU NEED IT: These mid-rise jeans are a closet essential. Designed with exceptionally soft stretch denim, we think they could probably double as leggings.

Wit & Wisdom Ab-Solution Itty Bitty Bootcut Jeans
STYLE WITH: The newest trends in shoes
FUN FACT: These jeans come with an interior waistband for ‘ab-solution’ control and a little extra lift in the rear. Yes, please!
