Purple Star emoji 16 items
If you’re under 5’4” and tired of hemming every pair of jeans or dealing with waistband gaps, this list is for you. As a petite, 5'2", thigh curvy mom, I look for jeans with shorter inseams, a bit of stretch, and a high-rise fit that shapes without s...

Wide Leg

Wide leg jeans that don't swallow you whole because they're just wide leg and not super wide leg or super baggy. ☺️

Ok, grab these if you are for real, curvy. Like - your jeans ride down and you have to hike them up constantly - curvy. I felt these ran a smidge large, so grab your size and maybe a size down to decide the best fit. *And if you're just petite, the p...
Not too wide - Petite Curvy Perfect Vintage Wide-Leg Jean

Finally found wide-leg trousers that actually fit right and come in different inseam options, which makes such a difference. The length is perfect (short inseam). They come in a lot of colors, so it’s easy to find something that works for everyday we...
Luxe for Less - Wide Leg High Waist Business Pants

They fit well through the hips and have a flattering high-waisted fit. I got these in black, and the material is thick but still flowy with a subtle waffle weave texture. It’s a nice change from plain fabrics and makes them feel a little more elevate...
Classic Style - Wide Leg Stretchy Work Pants Women

Great, comfortable fit. I finally wore these this weekend and the length and overall fit is great. The waist isn't to tight, and there are room for my hips. No riding up, and the pant legs are pretty roomy without being frumpy. The wide leg is wider ...

I bought these because I loved how they looked, and they were on sale. I've been trying to de-center jeans right now because I need a break and want something different for Spring/Summer. Sooo, I bought these in my regular size XS/Petite and unfortun...
Petite Pull-On Bootcut Track Pant

90's Relaxed/ Straight Jeans

Ok, these are half straight leg and half relaxed, slouch. But, since they actually fit length-wise, the hem falls nicely over a sneaker, short heal, or even sandals. There's no bunching between the knee and ankle. No cuffing needed.

I have these in the Rondell Wash and the Belmere Wash (black). They are high waisted, and only come up to my navel, which I like. They are super comfortable, they don't cling to my thighs and the waist is just right. Not too narrow and zero waist gap...
The Best! The Petite Curvy '90s Straight Jean
 
Melissa Williams profile picture
These jeans are my new favorite right now. They come in curvy too. However, I took a chance and got these in the regular fit and they fit really well, no waist gap, and no pancake bum or squished thighs. They stay on my waist and don't ride up, or do...
Perfect Length - Abercrombie High Rise Vintage Straight Jeans
 
Melissa Williams profile picture
Surprisingly comfortable and petite friendly. I took a chance on these after returning multiple pairs of Levi's (Ahem, curvy fit. 😩). I can get away with a 29" inseam, that's the longest inseam I can pull off. These jeans have a bit of stretch which...

Flare Leg

I didn't know how much I'd like these…

 
Melissa Williams profile picture
This flare leg is just the right amount of flare without looking like bell bottoms. It's on trend without feeling like you're trying too hard. They come in curvy fit too. But, I took a chance on the regular fit and they fit well. I think it's because...
Shapely and Subtle Mid Rise Bootcut

These jeans are gorgeous! They're soft and a great quality feel. I fudged up and got them in the regular fit and not the curvy fit and they don't fit quite like I need them too. They pancake my bum and thighs. 😩 If you're a non curvy fit and petite,...

I bought these to give them a try - and although at first i though I looked silly in them - I am now in-love with them. They are supremely soft and so, so comfy. I'm not sure if this style is still available, but I think they offer a wide leg version...
So Soft! Abercrombie Sunday Jogger
 
Melissa Williams profile picture
I didn't know such comfortable, flattering leggings existed. I'm not a LuLu legging person because I wouldn't know where to begin. These leggings are soft, hold you in without being super thick, and they strecth. I use them for running and I love the...

Since I love thes sweat pants so much, these are in my cart right now waiting to check out. I am getting the Dark Coffee color with the matching mock neck Sunday sweatshirt. I know I'll be happy I bought this once Fall rolls back around.
Women's High Rise Wide Leg Sunday Sweatpant
 
Melissa Williams profile picture
These are pretty great. If I had to compare these to my fav YPB leggings, they're pretty close to it. The length is good, the thickness and stretch is good. And I ran in them and they don't ride down. They stayed in place the whole time. I go the exp...
Power-Up High-Rise Training Legging - Quince
 
Melissa Williams profile picture
The most comfortable joggers I own. Plus, they are petite friendly. I never imagined I'd like these so much. I have them in two colors, and I've had them for quite some time. I always reach for them when I want to feel comfy but not weighed down. The...

I know I swear by the A&F sunday swetpants, but these are super cute and super comfy. They're a really smooth fleece, the outside is like butter. I'm really hoping the fabric holds up. The colors are really nice too. I got the navy blue and the m...
