I have a 28/29 inch inseam but not a petite rise, the best pants I have are Jones NY (not sure what the statues of the company currently is) they are ankle pants and fit perfectly.

Good morning, ladies!  Just finished my first cup of java after cleaning up the dinner dishes (have had a cold and just didn't feel up to it last night).  I looked out the kitchen window, and the thermometer reads 11 degrees below zero!  Good grief.  I have to leave later to pick up tissues since everyone in the house has a cold but am dreading facing this frozen tundra!

I actually am eyeing the Fly London shoe in pearl since I need a shoe in that color but probably will look for another style that will pack easier.  Planning for a cruise in the Spring.  I've lost a lot of weight, so I need new clothes - especially swimwear - but haven't seen them out yet.  

I ordered a pair of PLW jeans (the ankle pants since I'm 5'3"), and they fit great.  But I tried the same brand in another style in petite and couldn't even get my butt in them.  LOL.  Apparently, I'm not petite - just short.  Any pants/jeans suggestions for a gal with a long trunk but short legs?

petite jeans have a short rise so I think those wouldn't work for you ? 

I am your height and for example GAP jeans in petite are really small even in  a size up 

what about looking at high rise styles in ankle pants?

Jack, that's what I lean toward - or if they have the pant in a "short" versus a petite, I can do that.  Do you have any suggestions for brands that offer those options?

No. 

I even messaged CS when it came out, and asked about a video. Nada.  I'm guessing that since it's on clearance, they aren't going to be making a video anytime soon, LOL.

Since it's oblong, who cares what it looks like when opened!

I want it to wear with my boots!

I would think that petites would work for you.  Petite just means that you are 5'4" and under, so the proportions are shorter.

If your inseam is 28-29 (which is what I prefer as well) you should be fine.

I usually do petites, unless they are not available or if the "ankle" version is too short (like 24").  

For jeans, I have good luck with the L.L. Bean Signature line in their ankle jeans.

They have a pair on sale now (around $50) that I own in both colors-Item #: TK300274

Lola, I love the way those look.  But I'm worried they'll be too short waisted for me.  I seriously have a long trunk.  I have to order extra long swimsuits if it's a one-piece.

I hope I can get these in a length that will work for me!  I need more of the light wash for Spring.

@Belle_Femme

Go to the product and do "chat with an expert."  They have amazing CS and should be able to tell you the rise measurements.  The pair I referenced is not petite, just ankle length.  Most of their Signature line is a  32-33" inseam, so I can only do the ankle pants, unless I want to have them hemmed.

I don't right now but

take a look at Old Navy and see what they have,  Kohl's has tons of jeans on their website.

JCrew has high rise but they are too long for us except in ankle length and too expensive.  JC Factory might have.

If it were me I would just head to a shopping center and look,  in every store from Marshalls on up.  

but not today.

Let's see what @lolakimono finds

1 white collared short 

2. print round neck top

3. a horrible cardigan

Come on who styles this woman
