Question about women's jeans sizes:?
Um... I'm sorry, but women's jeans sizes totally confuse me. I fit into a pair of size 5 L.E., but tried on a pair of size 12 Old Navy skinnies at Goodwill today and couldn't even get the waist-band close to the top of my hips (with fly fully open!). I know sizes aren't fully standardized, but what was going on there? Aren't the odd numbered ones the juniors, and the even the women's, and wouldn't that meand the Old Navy pair should be bigger? I want/need short skinny jeans that fit someone 5'4, and can almost never seem to find something that is black and doesn't leave a foot of denim bunched up by my sneakers.
Really, I just want sub-25$ skinny jeans with a modicum of style that fit a shorter person. What racks should I check at a place like Target/Kohls? I know there's no official length sizing numbers, but is there a short-jeans area that I've not noticed?
Err, should be L.E.I jeans. To clarify, I fit fine into other size five and seven, and can wedge into size 3 skinnies, too. Hence why these size twelve skinnies thew me for a loop.
Also, yes, I'm a guy.

each jean and each company is different. old navy to me usually runs a little bit bigger but if you tried it on at good will they could have been shrunk majorly by the previous owner(s).
womens jeans will usually say what length it is short, normal, tall for the leg length. i'm pretty sure american eagle has short jeans and those are comfy as hell, plus I know they have skinny jeans and sometimes you can catch a good deal online.
oh and no odd sizes arent juniors and womens are even theyre not seperated like that. girls jeans just have 2 numbers for a more broad size. juniors jeans are seperate from women's jeans.

you are going to easily could desire to pass in and attempt them on. we can provide you an estimation, yet all retailers/clothing firms have one-of-a-type sizing. Pants are not standardized, so the only answer to computer screen of they are going to examine is that if youin case you attempt them on. to no longer element out they're shrink for a woman and you'll be able to desire to be genuinely no longer the comparable shape as one.

petites section has shorter jeans....sizes in chicks jeans really range unless you go to higher end denim where its by waist size like guy jeans (i think ur a guy?)
you just have to try them on to figure it out.
