Between the waist, hips, inseam, and overall fit, shopping for the perfect-fitting pants can be quite the challenge. And as a petite shopping writer — when last measured, I was exactly 4 feet 11 inches and three quarters — I’ve certainly struggled with finding pants that are stylish, comfortable, and, of course, actually fit my short yet curvy frame. Luckily, I happened upon a secret Amazon fashion section that’s packed with styles just for petite shoppers.
As a shorter shopper, I consider it my personal mission to find the best, most perfect-fitting pants that won’t drag on the ground or pool at the ankles. A quick glance at the petite styles on Amazon yields thousands of trending items like wide-leg pants, faux leather leggings, and straight-leg jeans, all with no costly hemming required. The best part? Brands like Spanx, Lands’ End, Lee, and NYDJ start at just $25. Shoppers under 5 foot 4 inches, rejoice — I’ve rounded up the 10 best petite-friendly pants to add to your winter wardrobe, stat.
Soft and stretchy nylon, a pull-on waistband, and multiple pockets make these pants ideal for long travel days, and the 25.5-inch cuffed hems are perfect for shorter shoppers. One reviewer, who received the pants for free, said they’re “very versatile” and “so comfortable.”
Leather pants are making the rounds in Hollywood lately, with celebs like Martha Stewart, Anne Hathaway, and Heidi Klum all putting unique stamps on the trend. These faux leather leggings feature Spanx’s signature Power Waistband technology for contoured compression at the waist, and they come in petite sizes XS–3X.
Ever since I saw Diane Keaton wearing a pair of wide-leg trousers, I’ve been wanting a pair — but, admittedly, it’s difficult to find well-fitting ones for shorter inseams. Enter these pants, which come in two inseam lengths (26.75 inches and 29.5 inches) and a variety of fabrics, including satin, chiffon, and mesh. Plus, one petite shopper said they’re “perfect with flats or heels.”
If you like versatility in your pants options, these joggers have that in spades. In addition to multiple neutral hues like black, olive, navy, and charcoal gray, they come in a variety of inseam lengths from 24 to 33 inches, so you can decide how cropped or full-length you want them to be.
Part legging, part trouser — these stretchy nylon pants are the best of both worlds. They’re designed with a pull-on waistband, comfortable four-way stretch, and pockets at the sides and back, and they’re finished with UPF 40+ protection.
If, like me, spotting celebs like Chrissy Teigen and Katie Holmes in straight-leg jeans has made you want a pair, too, then these ones by Lee are worth a try. They’re designed with a mid-rise waist, zip-and-button fly, and five-pocket styling, and they come in four washes and petite sizes 2–14.
Corduroy is a soft and cozy choice for frigid winter months — and slipping on these pants will put you in good company, since Jennifer Lawrence and Joanna Gaines have each worn corduroy trousers recently. They have a relaxed fit with subtly tapered legs, and they come in five colors and petite sizes XS–XL.
If you’ve searched fruitlessly for well-fitting petite jeans, try this wide-leg style, which comes in 10 washes, including light blue, brown, and Brooke Shields-approved faded black. Petite reviewers said the jeans are “very flattering,” adding that “the length was not too long” and can be worn with “tennis shoes or heels.”
These straight-leg trousers are a sophisticated and elegant option for professional work environments. They’re designed with a belted button tab at the waist, angled side pockets, and back welt pockets, and they come in petite sizes 2–14.
These jeans are designed in a straight, almost skinny silhouette with classic five-pocket styling, a zip-and-button fly, and the brand’s signature Lift Tuck technology for added shaping and support. They have a 30-inch inseam that hits right at the ankle on most people.
