Petite Knit Pants

Almost everyone, especially if you’re a woman, has at least one pair of knit pants, but people who need petite knit pants often find that they have a difficult time shopping. Knits tend to be stretchy, which is good because it means that they’ll fit a lot of sizes in the waist, even petite sizes. The problem is the length. Women who wear petite clothing often notice that the only knits they can find as far as pants go either need to be hemmed, or they’ll just drag on the ground. Fortunately, there are some manufacturers who take petite people into account when it comes to knit pants; you just have to know where to find their brands.

When you’re on the lookout for petite knit pants, you may be better off shopping at a store that deals strictly in clothing, rather than a larger department store. Department stores do have petite sections, but they’re often small and not stocked very well. Clothing stores like Old Navy, The Gap or Ann Taylor are more apt to cater to the broadest range of customers that they can, so their petite departments will probably have better selections when it comes to knit pants.

The popular sportswear manufacturer Danskin Now makes petite knit pants for women that are made of a cotton Jersey, have a comfortable wide elastic waistband with a tie front, and fashionably wide legs. Believe it or not, these can be found at Walmart for only around $10. For something more formal, the Eileen Fischer Collection offers straight-legged petite knits made of a rayon, nylon and spandex blend. These have a button front and can be worn easily for casual or even semi-formal occasions, and they come in several sizes of petite. They can be found at Neiman Marcus for about $150.

One way to find the petite knit pants that you’re looking for is to shop online. You can go to websites such as Amazon.com, Nextag.com or even Ebay.com and do a search for petite knits, and these sites will come back with some of the best deals online. This is a great way to shop, since you’re doing so from the comfort of your own home, and you get to see a great selection all in one place. Be sure that you’re dealing with reputable online stores. If an internet store isn’t familiar to you but you’re thinking of buying your knit pants there, try doing a search for reviews on the store. This can help you decide if you want to give them your business or not.
