I'm 5' 3" and Just Tried On Loads of Petite Linen Trousers—7 Pairs I Actually Rated
With summer on the horizon and temperatures finally risinghere in the UK, it's time to pack our heavy items away and bring out our breezy, breathable fabrics. And at the top of my warm-weather must-haves? Linen. Whether I'm heading to lunch with friends, the office or a weekend getaway, linen trousers are comfortable, easy to style and also look incredibly chic. But for us petite women, finding that perfectly fitted pair is not so simple.
If you're 5'3" and under like myself, you've likely tried on many pairs of linen trousers that pool awkwardly around your ankles. And with the lightweight fabric only being practical for only a few months every year, it seems unnecessary to get every pair of linen trousers that you invest in tailored professionally. As someone who knows this dilemma too well, I decided to take a stroll down my local high street to find the best linen trousers for petite women, and I was not disappointed.
From flattering wide-leg silhouettes to playful culottes, I managed to find seven petite-girl-friendly linen trousers that you can wear from now and well into autumn. Keep scrolling to see and shop the best linen trousers for petite women.

Style Notes: I love the length of COS' line culottes with a bare ankle. That way your anklets and your gorgeous summer shoes can be seen! It exudes summer with the length as well as the beautiful colour. In the picture above, I'm wearing them on my waist, but you can pull them down you if you want to get a bit more length out of the trousers. This one has an elasticated waist which I love because who wants to be dealing with buttons when it is boiling, and a spritz of some sort is to be had?
