The Best Flared Jeans for Short Legs

Say "buh-bye" to the tailor

If you’re 5’4” and under, chances are you’ve saved the extra fabric you’ve hacked off the bottom of pant legs more than once because, my God, there’s enough to make a pillowcase...a throw blanket...something out of all that material. Here, six pairs of flared denim with a 32” inseam or less. No sewing machine necessary.
