Target’s $35 Petite Pants Fit 5-Foot-1 Shoppers Perfectly

Finding petite pants can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially when it comes to cropped styles. The hem often falls well below where it’s supposed to, requiring alterations that are time-consuming and add to the cost. But we found the solution in a pair of petite pants at Target.

The Universal Thread Mid-Rise Barrel Leg Pull-On Pants are petite-shopper approved, and they’re not only great because they don’t drag on the ground when you walk, but they also have a comfortable elastic waistband, an easy pull-on design, and make a great transitional staple.

Universal Thread Mid-Rise Barrel Leg Pull-On Pants

The pants have a barrel-leg design, and if you’re petite, you know that hemming a pair with roomier pant-legs can be a nightmare. Doing so could compromise the slight taper at the hem, ruining the silhouette. However, this Target style shouldn’t require any alterations since 5-foot-1 shoppers say they “fit perfectly.” The silhouette is also described as “subtle” by reviewers, so you don’t need to worry about the intended bagginess being overbearing. 

Fans of the pants aren’t only swooning over the accommodating length, they also call them “super comfortable,” and it’s easy to see why. Although the cotton fabric lacks stretch, it is breathable and lightweight. Because of the legs’ breezy shape, they also offer tons of movement. Plus, the stretchy elastic waistband makes the pants easy to slip on and off — no pesky buttons or zippers in sight. Reviewers also note that they run large, so if you prefer a more relaxed fit, we recommend purchasing your usual size.

The versatile pants are available in three colors: black, olive green, and rust. The cotton provides enough structure to dress them up or down, pairing well with heels, flats, or sneakers. Shoppers also say they are the “perfect fall pants” and “wash and dry well,” according to one reviewer.  A third person went so far as to say that the flowy pants make them feel “so confident.” 

If you’ve been on the hunt for a cropped style you don’t have to hem, this pair of barrel leg pants should deserve a spot in your closet this fall. Keep scrolling for more comfy styles at Target.
