Voila! Trendy (and longer) jeans. Or hack them off at what would be ankle length for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-pants-and-the-petite-woman#post-1767009 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:41:29 +0000 always trying 1767009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>right -I too am 5'3" and ankle pants work best.&nbsp; I shortened a pair to crops, and now wish I didn't as they ride up when I sit and are too short for weaing with higher shaft booties now.; For warmer weather they will be fine with regular shoes and sandals or lower ankle booties. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-pants-and-the-petite-woman#post-1767001 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:31:58 +0000 Mirjana 1767001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the same 5'3" and wear ankle pants and hem them to the right lenght and it works super. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-pants-and-the-petite-woman#post-1766992 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:13:06 +0000 ClaraT 1766992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 5' 3" and I love ankle-length pants.

Most dress pants can be lengthened easily by letting out some of the hem allowance, which might make them regular length on you. Stores like Nordstrom, BR, J crew, etc can usually even do it for you (for a small fee) if you ask. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ankle-pants-and-the-petite-woman#post-1766903 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 14:43:35 +0000 Suz 1766903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why not try ankle pants for a change?

I'm 5'3 and ankle pants are ALMOST normal length on me but not quite, and finding trousers that fit has been an exercise in frustration. Is it really worth the hassle of trying to find "real" pants or do I just make do? </p>
