Petite Denim that's not short on style!

Finally, the powers-that-be in the denim industry have realized that when it comes to jeans, woman are not "one length fits all." Many of us on the petite side of life have grown weary of cuffing, hemming, tucking or cutting off our denim when we have just paid a large amount of money to buy them. In fact that's one of the biggest complaints that I hear is that women don't want to take a pair of scissors to something that they have worked so hard to buy. Fortunately, premium brands like 7 for All Mankind and Paige Premium Denim have altered some of their best-selling fits for a petite body. Our #1 petite premium style is the Flip Flop jean by 7 which, true to it's name, actually lets the vertically challenged wear a pair of jeans with flip flops or other flats.

Mid-priced denim gurus have known for years how important the petite market is. Brands like Silver Jeans, Lucky Brand and !iT Jeans are excellent sources for shorter cuts of denim.

Add Sparkle With Metallic Shoes

Metallics continue to be a huge trend this season. One of the easiest and most budget friendly ways to incorporate metallics into your wardrobe is with accessories like shoes, handbags and jewelry.

The new Silver Boost shoe by Yellow Box has a shiny criss-cross design with a toe strap and jeweled toe ring accent. It's a great choice for showing off your summer tan or a new pedicure.

For toes that are less than tan, you might try a bronze metallic shoe like Volatile's Bronze Chai Thong. The cork style sole is incredibly comfortable and also can be dressed up with a skirt or a pair of trouser shorts like !iT Jean's Misfit Short.

Best Selling Shorts for Summer

Until recently capris have dominated the summer denim market. While they are still summer essentials, the introduction of the knee length bermuda style short has opened up a whole new world of options. These styles have been growing in popularity over the last 2-3 years because of their versatility and simplicity. Unlike the short shorts that were popular for several years, the knee length styles are not limited to those blessed with perfectly tanned, cellulite free legs. Bermuda styles are more figure friendly and can be worn by almost any body type with ease.

When it comes to accessorizing your shorts, the options are endless! For example, take a basic style like the Vivian Short from Big Star Jeans shown at the left. Because it has a simple, embroidered back pocket, it can be worn with layered tees or tanks and flip flops for a casual look. However, a trendy top with a fierce pair of heels or flats and a few bangle bracelets will take the short to a new level. Two other great choices for a weekend short are the Penny Short and Misfit Short from !iT Jeans. All three of these styles fit well and are best sellers at The Denim Shop and will easily fit into an existing summer wardrobe.
