11 Raw Hem Jeans for Short People
Pants are difficult for everyone, but they can be extra hard for petite people, especially when it comes to new trends. Luckily, if you search hard enough, you can find raw hem jeans for short people — it just takes a little extra persistence. The raw hem trend is especially fun, so it should be something that everyone can enjoy, whether you fit into the petite, tall, or average height category. After all, it adds an edgy appeal to otherwise prim and proper (and plain) jeans — it adds a smidge of that rock n' roll flavor, which is always a good thing.
So, what's the best way to find the look if you're on the shorter side? Now of course, some brands offer petite sizing, which makes your job easier. But even for the brands that don't, it's still possible to look at the various inseam lengths offered and find a pair that suits you. It's also well worth looking at various lengths of cropped pants — capri-length might turn out to be ankle skimmers, while in turn ankle skimmers might turn out to be just the perfect length.
