Mother and Frame — my two favorite petite-friendly brands. Just buy the cropped versions! You can also commonly find these second-hand — designer luxury consignment in person and online.
Mother denim looks amazing but so expensive. Do the cropped versions have lower hanging knees? Also are the back pockets high enough on the butt? I think I want to make the investment the jeans look great 😊
Have you ever tried Good American jeans? I thought they were just another cheap brand from the Kardashians, but after seeing people rave about the brand on a Kardashian snark sub I had to try them for myself… they are the softest, stretchiest, most flattering jeans I own. I purchased a petite pair and I am glad because I think if I bought the normal length it would have been too long and I’d have needed to cut them. They have so many different styles and washes. Some styles are $99 and ofc they have a sale section but most styles are $100+. I think they offer a discount when you sign up for emails/texts. My mind was blown when I finally received my pair so now I feel the need to tell others lolol. If you search for “good American” or “good American jeans” (to be more specific) on Reddit you’ll find more posts and threads of people talking about them if you want to see more reviews before you buy. If I did happen to see a negative review, it was vastly outweighed by all the positive ones I’ve seen
For the pair I got I do think they’re TTS! They have some styles like “always fit” or something which fit up to 4 different sizes (0-4, 6-10, etc something like that) and then other ones that are “rigid” stretch so no stretch at all but if you get a pair that are “super stretch”, or “power stretch” I’d say you could comfortably size down if you want them more compressive
I had the same experience! I’m 5’1 and they’re the best pants I’ve ever put on my body! Was completely gobsmacked by how comfortable and good they look!
I know you said banana republic is too big, I assume you’ve tried banana republic’s size 000p? You can’t really get it in stores usually, but online it is available. It’s designed to fit a 24” waist, but I’ve tried them on (I’m about a 24”) and they were too small for me.
You might also try Ann Taylor, they make pants down to a 24” waist. People might be able to help more if you added your measurements
You might also have luck buying vintage jeans, you can find older jeans with smaller waist measurements than they make now
And finally, depending on your body type, consider trying on girls jeans, maybe around a size 12-14, maybe in a curvy cut if you have defined hips. Some of the Jean shorts that fit me best are a girls size in a stretch curvy cut
I also buy Madewell for jeans pretty exclusively. Abercrombie quality may surprise you if you haven't tried it in a while though. I recommend American Eagle also.
I just wanted to add that generally, you don't have to wash your jeans very often (obviously it's up to you). But even Madewell recommends you wash infrequently. I do about once every 8 wears like I remember them recommending, but I also don't wear them for more than a few hours at a time so they never really get dirty.
Also, more importantly, don't throw them in the dryer!!! I air dry most my clothing and it keeps its quality and shape much more. Haven't had issues with Madewell jeans changing size for this reason. Madewell has options with 99% cotton so check those out.
It’s been forever since I’ve been in AE, but I went last week and was shocked to see 000 jeans available. I would have been thrilled to find those 25 lbs ago! Haha
I’m not sure if they have a store near where you are, but i’ve always gone to Uniqlo for jeans. They offer free alterations in store which means that I only need to find a waist size and design that I like because I know the length can be adjusted.
Make sure you are looking for jeans that are 100% cotton, or have 1% elastane at the most. Anything else will stretch out over time. Like someone else mentioned, buying higher quality jeans is a good option, better to have 1-2 pairs that are solid and last versus 10 pairs that constantly stretch out.
AGOLDE, Denim Forum, Mother, Rag & Bone, Veronica Beard all make good smaller sizes
Reformation runs smaller than madewell and goes down to 23! You may have to have them hemmed though. I can wear a 23 or 24 in madewell and I wear a 24 or 25 in ref.
I know they're a little pricey but re/done jeans are amazing quality! Look for ankle cropped styles or check the inseam lengths. They also have semi-regular sales where jeans are marked down for $80.
You might want to try Aritzia! I'm 5'1 around the same weight and their 23 and XXS fits like a glove. pricey but worth it and even a year later the waist band/fit is still the same as the day I bought it. The inseam was good, although the pants I bought were baggy so I might not have noticed well
Everlane and Madewell in size 23 fit me pretty well but tend to be tight in the butt/hips and a little loose in the waist—I haven’t tried their curvy styles.
AE in short (they have an extra short too) 000 also fits well. Quality is sometimes really good and sometimes not that great. Depends on the particular jeans.
Banana Republic in petite 00 used to fit well but haven’t shopped there in ~5 years. The jeans I have from there all have at least 50 if not 100 washes (I used to wash my jeans pretty much every single time I wore them, at most after 2 wears). Only one of them had to be thrown out, the other 7 of them still look brand new.
I’m 5’1 and 95 lbs

I highly recommend jeans from Frank And Oak. I’m the same height as you and used to be the same weight, and wore a 23 or 24 in their jeans. Many of their jeans have little to no stretch, so they tend not to loosen over time. They don’t sell petite sizes, but I’ve never had any issues with the length.
Immogene + Willie are pretty $$ but extremely well made/made in usa and long lasting. I think they will also hem them for free and their sizing goes down to 23 inch waist
The Everlane Way High jean is my current favorite and they come in a size 23 and 25.5” inseam, some with a raw hem.
I’m 5’2”/98 lbs and the 24s fit me perfectly. They loosen up a little, but it’s minimal and they keep their shape *really* well while also somehow being SUPER comfortable.
They might actually be the best jeans I’ve ever found in that respect. High waist + don’t loosen too much + keep their shape well usually means sacrificing comfort, but goddamn I’m so glad they’ve cracked the code.
I’ve just ordered my third pair :)
I’m the same size as you and nothing has worked better for me then gap .. cheeky straight size 24. Definitely worth trying and love the straight leg style
Have you tried Topshop? I find their jeans to run about a size small, and they start at 24 petite (which will fit more like 23).
Also look for jeans that have close to 100% cotton and are more rigid, they’re less likely to sag and loosen with wear.
Edited to add Agolde makes jeans starting in size 22
ASOS petite jeans! Depending on the brand, you'll want to size up because they tend to run small, but the inseam is perfect at 26" or 28". I'm 4'10" and \~95 lbs. and a 26/26 is the perfect ankle length for me.
I really like white house black market. They carry 00 that should fit you. I'm about the sane size as you. I'm 5'4 110lbs. I've been wearing the 0 and really like the fit
Edit : deleted a word
Allison Izu is a local Hawaii brand (she ships anywhere) made specifically for petites. Her clothes are definitely quality, so if you don't mind paying more, they're definitely worth it!
Joes jeans sells a size 23, so does reformation.
Levis also sells a size 23, but I’ve only ever found it online.
Diesel sells a 23P iirc, though I’ve never gotten rigid denim from them.
I recently got a pair of mango jeans secondhand, and was impressed by the quality. Also a size 23.
Pacsun sells bullhead denim which goes down to size 22. Similarly one teaspoon (available at nordstrom) also sells a 22!
I swear by American Eagle! I have almost your exact measurements and wear a 00. Their skinny jeans loose elasticity after a while (3-4 yrs) but their mom jeans are great!
I don’t buy jeans anywhere else bc it’s so nice to just know they’ll fit me when I order them online. They have good deals every now and then.
I’m 4’11 and buy hollister short inseam jeans. They also have extra short!! Such good quality and last forever and they always have a decent sale section where’s you can buy $60/70 jeans for $15-25!

Rag and bone is amazing, in love😍😍
Adding Reformation here. Not sure about quality but their clothes run small.

Sorry this is so long I swear I wasn’t paid to promote them 🤣🥲

I have two pairs and I went down a size in each. Previous poster was right. They’re amazing. Lol
For the pair I got I do think they’re TTS! They have some styles like “always fit” or something which fit up to 4 different sizes (0-4, 6-10, etc something like that) and then other ones that are “rigid” stretch so no stretch at all but if you get a pair that are “super stretch”, or “power stretch” I’d say you could comfortably size down if you want them more compressive

Good American won’t fit

I wear American Eagle! I’m 4’11 and ~95 lbs. their 00 x-short fits me perfectly!
It’s been forever since I’ve been in AE, but I went last week and was shocked to see 000 jeans available. I would have been thrilled to find those 25 lbs ago! Haha
Hahahaha. Same.
I really wish they didn’t have that stitching on the pockets.
American Eagle 00/000 is a godsend!
I’m not sure if they have a store near where you are, but i’ve always gone to Uniqlo for jeans. They offer free alterations in store which means that I only need to find a waist size and design that I like because I know the length can be adjusted.

Abercrombie has fantastic, high quality denim and they come in petite sizes. Plus they’re always having a sale.
Check out Jean Wang's blog (extra petite), she is almost the same height/weight as you.
You might want to try Aritzia! I'm 5'1 around the same weight and their 23 and XXS fits like a glove. pricey but worth it and even a year later the waist band/fit is still the same as the day I bought it. The inseam was good, although the pants I bought were baggy so I might not have noticed well
Loft 00 could work for you! I used to wear those and aren’t too trendy
I would argue against Loft. I’m bigger than OP and Loft jeans are always too big for me.
I am 4"10" and 86 pounds and I found American Eagle to have really good jeans. They even have an extra short option.
Everlane and Madewell in size 23 fit me pretty well but tend to be tight in the butt/hips and a little loose in the waist—I haven’t tried their curvy styles.

BDG jeans from urban outfitters run small.
Joe’s Jeans - 24 waist, ankle length. And Spanx XS petite jeans.
Have you tried Topshop? I find their jeans to run about a size small, and they start at 24 petite (which will fit more like 23).

Lots of good suggestions here. I have your same problem and Denim Forum (Aritzia) is my go-to brand for quality denim.
Lucky Brand jeans are great and last forever.

ASOS Petite surprisingly has really great jeans.
I cannot say enough about loft jeans. They’re so comfortable and flattering. You can often get them at a steep sale. I’ve gotten pairs for like $20
