Petite workout pants

Tugger31 · 02-16-14, 09:00 PM

Does anyone know where to get petite fitness/athletic pants that aren't tight yoga pants, arent tights, arent sweat pants?? I'm looking for something nylon-ish, the material that alot of running shorts are made of. I've looked everywhere I can think of in stores and online and come up with nothing!

What about Lucy? All of their pants come in short sizes. I love their clothes.

No luck with Lucy's either

Not even the walkabout pants? Those are sort of nylon? I personally love the Vitals.

I have no other suggestions!

Sorry I can't help you but I feel your pain. I haven't found exercise pants that don't require hemming. I am 5'1" and even have to hem the shorter length Capezio boot leg pants I get from the dance store downtown.

I just ordered a pair from Fabletics that are in the material I think you want but they did not come in shorter lengths.

Hmmm, maybe Lands' End? Here's a link to the petite activewear pants on the website. The 4 pairs shown don't look like they're tight fitting.

I like the Land's End performance pants too!! I'm 5'2 ish and they're a good length on me. Well-made pants too!!

Thx I'll keep looking! I'm 5'1", pear shaped with big thighs I don't want tight pants and even the "looser" ones are still more form fitting or they're just too long! I've been searching forever it seems

I've looked at the Land's End Performance Pants. In general I've had no luck with the wide waist band. I generally have to buy a bigger size to accomodate my thighs and then the waist is waaay too big, so I generally look for a drawstring or a normal elastic waist.

Old Navy?
I like their workout pants a lot. Sounds like we have a similar body shape.

I was going to suggest the C9 brand at Target, but I think the most relaxed fit they have in petite lengths is semi-fitted, and it sounds like you don't want that. Wal-Mart has petite lengths in their Danskin Now line. I have some pants in both relaxed and loose fits, and I love them! I don't wear them to work out in (I do like a more fitted pant for exercise), but they are my go-to pants on weekends or for running errands.
