As a 5’3” shopper, I got tired of going to the tailor for every pair of pants I bought. So I went on a quest to find all of the best petite pants out there, and now I’m sharing them with you. These are the best petite pants I’ve found — and they all come with the convenience of Amazon.
Whether you’re in need of a new pair of work pants or some flowy pants for lounging at the beach, these 16 pairs are made to fit petite heights best. Some of them come in specific petite lengths and others come in more cropped lengths (like capris), which help to ensure they won’t go past the ankle. And on top of not having to get a tailor, the pants are budget-friendly too, starting at just $14.
