Finding the right pants as a petite person can be challenging. It may take some trial and error (or a round trip to the tailor) to fit into the perfect pair, but the good news is, retailers and brands have started to diversify their offerings.

Cropped or ankle-length pants or jeans are a great place to start. Checking the inseam is also recommended to ensure the right length. We did some digging and found the most flattering and versatile jeans that will work for your body type. The perfect pair is just ahead!
