Hi Helen Finding the perfect pair of jeans is not an easy job. As you're 5ft 3, one of the best ways to find jeans is to hit the petite sections of the highstreet shops. TopShop in particular have a great range - if you don't find a pair then introduce yourself to the different shape. If you're curvy try a bootcut or a boyfriend cut. They compliment curves and give you confidence. If you fancy trying a change the skinnies are very fashionable. I like to look in River Island for jeans as you get a lot of wear for your money and offer sales regularly. If you are conscious of your height when wearing skinnies then turn up the ends to make them into a cropped style. This goes well with sandles, pumps or wedges and can be glammed up with heals if you're planning a night out. TopTip: If you're on the look out for a perfect pair of jeans and you're conscious about being on the short or tall side then stick to shopping shopping rather than cyber shopping. It may be cheaper - but unless you're certain (or there is a free returns policy) you can't judge a true fit. Get in those changing rooms with one of each cut and see which works best for your shape; once you've found it, stick to it. The highstreet stores don't vary to much from one another.Need Help?
