Skinny petite work trousers

I am in need of some new black smart tapered trousers for work - to wear with blouses/jumpers and loafers etc. There’s some lovely ones in Zara and I have a couple of pairs but they have to be turned up because they’re too long! Anyone know of any for petite ladies like me? I’m 5ft2 for reference xx

Boden. 25% off all new stock at the moment.

I have these ones from Boden, I'm just over 5ft with short legs. They are very comfortable and very flattering!

Hi Bryony, do you buy them in regular for full length or in petite?

Thanks

BryonyG · 30/08/2023 07:31

@Bedofroses85 I got them in petite. Because I'm so short the 7/8 length is full length on me but on someone a couple of inches taller they'd be ankle length.

JinglingSpringbells · 30/08/2023 07:39

@Bedofroses85 One thing to be aware of is that in the petite sizing, the 'rise' (measurements on their website) is smaller too. I tend to buy the regular length and sometimes shorten the hem (easy) by an inch. OR as PP says you could try the 7/8 length.

Their size guide is good because you can compare all the sizes.

Bedofroses85 · 30/08/2023 08:08

Thanks both, I'll check the measurements, I need petite sizes but don't get on with short lengths as don't think they suit me.

Reiss also do a great range of smart petite trousers

Hi, just coming back to say I've been in Mango today and found some really nice trousers, straight or slim shape, and perfect length!!

@Bedofroses85 do you have a link please? Or a photo even please?!

Lovall (love leggings) do some nice skinny work trousers or treggings they call them, in different lengths.

Bedofroses85 · 17/09/2023 09:32

These are the ones, they have different patterns to choose from. I said slim but actually are called skinny. They really are the perfect fit

Just bought a lovely pair in shorter length from Jaeger. Will try to find!

Bedofroses85 · 17/09/2023 09:34

They are cropped in the pictures but to me full length of course

Bedofroses85 · 17/09/2023 11:56

Yes please Artemis!

dameofdilemma · 17/09/2023 14:48

Was just coming on to recommend Mango.

I do get the dry cleaners to take up a lot of my trousers. It's still cheaper to buy Zara/Mango and take up rather than Boden in my view. And Z/M is more my style and fit me better at the hips.

ArtemisFlop · 17/09/2023 18:58

Sorry can't upload a link so here's a photo - they're super soft and comfy
