About this episode

Nicole Johnson discusses the challenges petite women face in finding well-fitting jeans and shares practical tips for overcoming these issues.

Real talk — when's the last time you put on a pair of jeans and actually loved them? If you're petite, probably not recently. In this episode I'm getting honest about why the fashion industry fails short women, what I've learned after years of denim frustration as a 5'1" woman, and the tips that have actually helped me. From rise height to inseam length to the cropped jean trick nobody talks about — this is the episode I wish existed when I started figuring this out. Plus, a little preview of what I'm up to in New York this week. Follow me on Insta HERE Check Out my Substack HERE
