To wear these petite wide - leg jeans, you can pair them with your favorite knits or blouses for a casual or semi - formal look. For a more polished outfit, add a pair of heels. When it comes to washing, turn them inside out and use a gentle cycle in cold water to preserve the color and shape. Avoid using bleach as it can damage the denim. Hang them to dry instead of using a dryer to prevent shrinkage. Store them folded neatly in your closet to keep them in good condition.
