Thanks Angie. I do most of my shopping at Wal-Mart, Macy's, Dillard’s, and JCPenny. I guess it's time to expand my horizons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-pants-for-petites#post-341 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:05:24 +0000 mayapple 341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found oodles of great pants at Esprit today. They were long (of course), but they're otherwise perfect for petites. The legs are on the slimmer side and a lot of them have vertical stripes or other subtle patterns. </p> <p>I also appreciated their realistic sizing system. Ha, what kind of woman am I, getting all excited about being 2 sizes bigger than usual? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-pants-for-petites#post-334 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:59:20 +0000 Angie 334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you tried Banana Republic Petites slim fit? Also, try Express, Bebe and Arden B and have the legs shortened. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-pants-for-petites#post-332 Thu, 24 Jan 2008 01:28:52 +0000 Sarah 332@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Being a petite myself, I'd like to know where I can find work pants that are not wide legged. Most of my nice non-denim pants are very wide legged and look horrendous on my little body; they make me look as if my legs are as wide as my hips all the way down, certainly not flattering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-pants-for-petites#post-273 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 21:10:29 +0000 Angie 273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are loads of different cuts for dress pants (wide and slim) and those cut in a slim boot cut or straight leg style will look best on your petite frame. I don’t think that wider dress pants are necessarily more formal. “Trousery” type pants can be slim cut and just as chic. I like the idea of you in pinstripe slacks. It's a hip, arty, versatile and chic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/work-pants-for-petites#post-258 Tue, 22 Jan 2008 07:13:12 +0000 mayapple 258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The default work pants seem to be the wider, trouserly type...aka the least flattering for me. To clarify, I am (or will be) working as a graphic designer, so there's no need for me to get anything super formal. I'm just wondering if straighter pants are inherently more casual. If so, what kind of pants should I be looking for? I'm constantly hearing about pinstripes being a petite's best friend, but I'm still not sure about the cut of the pants. </p> <p>And well, most of you probably know what my body type is by now, so I figured this would be a good place to ask </p>
