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.
