If you're like me and stand at a modest 5'2", you know the struggles of finding the perfect pair of sweatpants. Most clothing stores cater to average height individuals, leaving us petite women with limited options. But fear not! I've done the legwork (pun intended) and compiled a list of the best stores to buy petite sweatpants.
Finding the right pair of petite sweatpants can be a challenge, but not anymore!
Gap
Gap is a go-to store for affordable and trendy sweatpants. They constantly update their collections, including a range of options for all sizes, including petites. You can always count on Gap for comfortable and stylish jogger pants. Check out these Gap Pull on Joggers ($69.95).
Nordstrom
Nordstrom makes the search for petite-sized joggers a breeze. Simply click on the "petite size" option, and you'll be directed to their entire petite size department. They offer a wide price range, with designer brands for those willing to splurge, like the Cara pocket joggers ($38.35). You can even find French terry joggers in petite sizes, ranging from $40 and up.
ASOS
ASOS offers a great selection of petite-length joggers at an affordable price point. What sets them apart is that their models are actually petite girls, so you can see how the joggers will look on someone with a similar height. ASOS is perfect for finding joggers that you can wear without worrying about throwing them in the wash. Take a look at these Petite sweatpants ($36.00).
Express
For trendier designs, look no further than Express. They carry a wide selection of petite-size pants, including joggers. Their inseam is typically around 25", making them a perfect fit for shorter legs. Don't miss out on their signature high-waisted sweatpants in petite sizes.
