Since the inseam is only 31", the jean may look to be more of a cropped style than a true skinny jean on taller women
More space in the thigh and butt area than some other skinny jeans, so the waistband fits without any gapping.
From the knee down, the cut is more straight leg than true skinny. If you size down, it may be more skinny shaped
The inseams on J Brand jeans are on average shorter than others, so this brand in general is great for average and shorter women.
