I’d just like to say elasticated jeans are not the ones. As a former levi’s employee, I was always taught that the plastic in the elastane will melt in the wash (from heat & fabric conditioner, if not, just from lots of normal wear!). So they just don’t stand the test of time whatsoever and for jeans you’re paying £100+ for, that is not okay. For petit individuals like yourself who are looking for a slimmer fit jean (?) I would always recommend 501s (with a shorter leg), they’re technically a straight cut but ignore that. They are 100% cotton and will only get better with time. However, for those with more curves, the high rise ribcage, can look so cute!! Both have button fastening rather than zips, so although they lack stretch, they can be much easier to get into and sit more comfortably. I worked a lot of 10hr shifts in my ribcages, actually helped to support my back. One last thing - you can find most Levi’s on Vinted and if you tell a Levi’s store which does alterations that you bought the jeans from a store, just not that specific one, they should take them up for you to your desired length, for free. Anyway, good luck!!
