As someone who is petite, albeit a “tall” petite at 5’4, all pants are too long for me. Even cropped pants end up being the right length and the intended look is ruined.
So I tend to look for petite pants, especially dress pants so that the leg line stays the way that it was intended. When I hem anything that is supposed to be a flare or has any type of pattern it ends up looking funny when a couple of inches are lopped off.
But it really stinks when I have to hem petite pants. I feel for those even shorter than me because that must happen alot.

I hemmed the Citizen’s of Humanity Dita Petite so that I could wear them with flats but in retrospect I wish that I had of left them at full length. They are SO soft and I would buy them again just for the feel of the denim. I just have to wear them with heels.
Do you keep some jeans for flats and others for heels?
