Petites: Business Bottoms Up!

Gabardine pants

There are days I just want to give up on wearing pants. I know you understand how I feel, petites. For years, pants haven’t seemed to love me back. Sure, I’ve hit the petites sections in stores, but styles seem so limited. I was envious of all the fashionable options my taller friends had. So I hit their racks and made the local tailor my best friend. But I’m tired of having to dole out the extra money to get things hemmed to be petites friendly and the waiting period before I can enjoy my purchase. Just because I’m more diminutive than the next girl, I’d appreciate instant flattering-pants gratification.

Since becoming a member at MyShape, I can believe in pants again. (And I’m not saying this just because they give me a paycheck.) Only pants that fit my measurements appear in my Personal Shop, so I no longer have to browse racks for the right size. And neither do you, pretty petites, because I’ve found some great office-ready pants for our many shapes just waiting for you to discover.

Straight-leg corduroys

For As like me I’ve found the ultimate easy-living bottoms in Tribal’s stretch-gabardine pants sans buttons and zippers. I can just slip them on and enjoy how the slightly flared leg makes me appear taller, while on Ss the detail flatters their curves. These pants look so great I’m tempted to get them in every color: charcoal, black and navy. A petite P will also benefit from the contour-waist style as the lower, wide waistband lengthens the torso.

With fall upon us these straight-leg corduroys in black and brown will be a welcome addition to the wardrobes of Hs and Ys. The pants’ stylishly stitched back pockets add some interest to H bottoms, while Ys will appreciate the texture of corduroy, which adds softness that balances out strong shoulders.

Indigo Jacket pantsThe straight-leg appeal continues with Liz Claiborne’s indigo stretch-cotton Jackie pants that petite Es will love to pair with heels, keeping their bodies looking lean and long. Ms also can go Jackie chic as the slightly lower waist and straight-leg style keep their proportions super sleek. And the pants’ classic trouser design has “I mean business” all over it, offering a confident look all day long.

Women of every shape are covered—beautifully—when they have a Personal Shop. Because at MyShape, when I’m in my Personal Shop, it’s not about being petite—it’s about just being me.
