Buy a 30-inch stock inseam if it is the shortest length available. This will keep the leg-opening width closer to the original width.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. Wash your jeans to remove all shrinkage, and try on the jeans with the shoes you\u2019ll be wearing most before deciding on the hemmed length.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Ask the person doing the alteration if they have thread that matches the color and thickness of the original thread. Threads of similar color and size will help the hemmed topstitching look original and match the other topstitching on the jean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4. If the jean is a washed jean and the hem has color fading, ask the person doing the alteration if they use \u201coriginal hems.\u201d Original hemming is a process of cutting off the original hem and reattaching it. The benefit is preserving the original fades of the hem, the downside is bulky hem. Simply cutting and folding may be a preferred option long-term, but it will take months of wearing and washing for hem fades to reappear naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0930_jeans_short_men.jpg\" alt=\"Jean fit: rise, jean length, and leg opening\" class=\"wp-image-8482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0930_jeans_short_men.jpg 540w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0930_jeans_short_men-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0930_jeans_short_men-505x505.jpg 505w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Fit points to lengthen appearance: length, leg opening, and rise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-3-most-important-fit-points-for-shorter-men\">The 3 most important fit points for shorter men<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Waist, seat, and thigh are the top considerations for jean fit for men of all heights. For jeans for short men, three secondary fit points: length, leg opening width, and rise, require individual attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Jean length: the most important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Err on the shorter side. A jean that is too long, even one inch too long, stacks at the shoe, creating fabric folds that prohibit the jean leg from draping in a clean line. Always evaluate length while wearing footwear. If you&#8217;re not sure of your target length, use the &#8220;stop at the top plus 1\/2 inch&#8221; formula, measuring the final length 1\/2 inch past the top of the shoe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-leg-opening-or-ankle-width-the-second-most-important\">2. Leg opening or ankle width: the second most important<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For shorter men, taking the time to find the right leg opening width pays off with a intentionally balanced look. If the opening is too wide, the extra fabric makes you look shorter. If it&#8217;s too narrow, you get an unbalanced, top-heavy look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about finding the best leg opening width for you, <a href=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/pants\/pant-leg-opening\">read our article about leg opening width<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"540\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0931_jeans_short_men.jpg\" alt=\"Rise options for jeans for short men.\" class=\"wp-image-8485\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0931_jeans_short_men.jpg 540w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0931_jeans_short_men-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/2022_0931_jeans_short_men-505x505.jpg 505w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The proper jean rise can lengthen appearance.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Rise: the lesser-known fit point to consider<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rise is the measurement from the top of the waistband down to the crotch seam. Shorter men typically don&#8217;t need a shorter rise, but you should look out for jeans that have excess fabric sagging under the crotch. That extra fabric lowers your perceived leg length, which will make your legs look shorter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:14px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"photo-text\">\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-9763 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3.jpg\" alt=\"Todd Shelton: A Wardrobe Built for Consistency\" width=\"1391\" height=\"1720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3.jpg 1391w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-485x600.jpg 485w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-828x1024.jpg 828w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-768x950.jpg 768w, https:\/\/toddshelton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/todd-shelton-2026-0224-about-mobile2-3-1242x1536.jpg 1242w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1391px) 100vw, 1391px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text font-body2\">\n<h2 class=\"font-h3\">About the publisher<\/h2>\nTodd Shelton is an American apparel manufacturer.
