Trouser suit with capri/cigarette type trousers - to suit short person

That's pretty much it - I'm looking for a trouser suit with a shorter but tailored leg - prob in about a size 8. I'm 5,3.

As ever, I've got an idea in my head of exactly what I'm looking for but I don't seem to be able to find it. If anyone has any pointers I would be really grateful.

Forgot to say that although this is going to sound picky, I'm looking for good quality as well as the shape etc. I tried some cigarette pants from ASOS recently but found them really thin - have got some old favourites from SABA in Australia that were so good but have now been worn to death.

If you're still in Aus, try Marcs. They have 7/8th trouser suits

Back in the UK these days... although husband might be in Oz soon so I could send him on a mission to Marcs...

Try Next's petite range - they have trousers suits of the type that you're looking for.

Reiss offer a tailoring service for their suits so can shorten legs if needed

Thanks for the tips - will check them both out...

Hi, I got some from Topshop at the weekend high waisted cigarette style they also come in different leg lengths, were 22.00 not the thickest but pretty good for the price.

PS, I’m very short & the short length fitted perfectly.
