The Best Petite Fall Pants on Amazon Are Under $50

Fall is my favorite season. I usually start sipping on pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks as early as mid-August, even while Los Angeles temperatures are still scorching. Is it any wonder, then, that I love shopping for new fall clothes? But as a petite woman who measures up to a grand total of 4 feet 11 and three-quarters — or a rounded-up 5-feet tall, according to my driver’s license — it can be especially difficult to find petite pants that won’t pool at the ankles or drag behind me. Luckily, I happened upon a secret Amazon fashion section that’s packed with pants for shorter shoppers.

Amazon’s selection of stylish petite fall pants includes cargos, wide-leg trousers, leather leggings, and flare jeans, none of which require costly hemming. I even found pants from brands like Gap, Spanx, Levi’s, and Lee. The best part? My nine favorite petite fall pants are all under $50.

Best Under-$50 Petite Fall Pants on Amazon

Royalty For Me Petite Corduroy Pants

I’m frequently eyeing Joanna Gaines’ pants collection, and I definitely clocked her corduroy jeans last fall. These slim leggings come in a similar orange hue, and they’re designed with a zip-and-button fly, faux front pockets, and back patch pockets.

Tronjori Cargo Pants

When it comes to cargo pants, Oprah Winfrey is my style guru — she’s worn them at least five times in the past year alone. I’m trying the trend this fall in these stretchy cotton trousers with flap cargo pockets at the sides and back. Bonus: They have a petite-friendly 30-inch inseam.

Gap Classic Straight-Fit Jeans

Straight-leg jeans have made the style rounds in Hollywood recently, with celebs like Laura Dern, Courteney Cox, and Reese Witherspoon all hopping on board. This pair is designed with a zip-and-button fly and classic five-pocket styling. They come in four washes and sizes 24–33 with short lengths available.

Spanx Spanxshape Faux Leather Leggings

I’ll let you in on a secret: I’ve actually been eyeing these faux leather leggings for at least five years, and I’m finally taking the plunge this fall. They have a contoured, shaping waistband with medium compression and no center seaming, and they come in petite sizes XS–3X.

Amazon Essentials Mid-Rise Stretchy Skinny Jeans

With the choice of three inseam lengths — 27, 29, and 31 inches — these skinny jeans are perfect for shorter people. They come in 11 washes, including multiple shades of blue, beige, olive green, and black. Fellow petite shoppers said they “hit at the ankle” and fit better than a lot of the higher end jeans.”

Lee All Day Straight-Leg Pants

Plaid makes a comeback every fall, and I’ll be getting in on the action this year with these straight-leg pants in a miniature windowpane pattern. Multiple petite reviewers commented on the pants’ versatility, noting that they “can be worn for casual occasions or for work” and are “perfect for a mid-to-low heel.”

Wrangler Fierce Flare Jeans

If you haven’t added flare jeans to your fall closet, now’s your chance — especially since celebs like Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Lawrence have rocked them lately. Try this pair with classic five-pocket styling, available in 15 washes and petite sizes 00–18

Levi’s 725 Retro High-Rise Bootcut Jeans

Demi Moore wore a pair of front-seam jeans, so I want to wear a pair of front-seam jeans. This bootcut pair fits the bill, thanks to exposed seaming down each leg. They’re finished with a zip-and-button fly, angled front pockets, and back patch pockets, and they come in petite sizes 25–31.

Libin Wide-Leg Trouser Sweatpants

For days when I want to look pulled-together but feel comfortable, I’ll be turning to these wide-leg trouser sweatpants. They have a pull-on waistband with belt loops, single reverse pleats, and angled side pockets, and they come in eight colors and three petite inseam lengths.
