If you’re looking for wide-leg pants which work particularly well for shorter women, you’ve already done half of the work! This style of pant leg is one of the optimal cuts to best elongate your silhouette, so you’re on the right track.
The other key feature to look for is a high waist which can make you appear even taller, so we made sure the items we selected for you check off both of those boxes.
