I'm petite. Just about 5 foot, slender frame. Where should I shop?

Especially looking for some wide leg trousers but they're all soooo long.

I like Lipsy which is sold through Next. I got some wide legged trousers from there a couple of months ago which I have been living in. The main disadvantage is my size sells out pretty quickly.

Uniqlo if you live near a branch, as they offer free alterations in store.

Sorry I should say - I'm an "inverted triangle" body shape.

Try ASOS Petite or Topshop Petite for wide-leg trousers that fit!

What’s the quality of ASOS-era-Topshop trousers like? I bought a skirt (out of sheer nostalgia) last year and both fabric and construction were appalling. Almost laughably so.

Reiss petite do lovely wide leg trousers.

I bought some cropped linen blend wide leg trousers the other week form H&M and they were a normal length on me 😃. New look petite I find quite good too for trousers. Have bought some flared leggings from there recently.

White Stuff has a large selection of petite clothes online.

Boden I think are unparalleled for their smarter petite range.

@raffegiraffe Thanks, these look good! Have you had them for a while? Just curious about if the quality stands up i.e. what are they like after washes, etc

@FairTurtle
Worn on holiday this year a few times and washed once. Held up well during flight and full days travel without bad creasing.
Quality seems ok to me but they are inexpensive so I'm not expecting much
