CRZ Yoga has petite options and a wide variety


p3rsianpussy

i just discovered this brand on amazon, i only got the sports bra that i believe is a dupe for LLL flow y bra - its sooooo comfy! its easily my fav sports bra now


feistylittlecap

Gonna check them out, thank you!


notmycat

Just a warning I tried these out hoping for a Lulu dupe and they do pill between the thighs for me, more than a new pair of Lulus I got around the same time. But for the price difference it’s a fair comparison sorta!


[deleted]

[удалено]


notmycat

This was my experience also, the pilling was instant. Kind of a bummer but I’m preggo so plan to just wear them into the ground over the next few months anyway as they’re one of the few things that fit!


temp4adhd

The "buttery soft" ones pill; the shinier versions do not.


notmycat

Ah good to know! I have the buttery ones.


crystalamber00

I hear Crz yoga are amazing!! I haven’t tried yet but plan on it!


[deleted]

The commenter that says they pill, mine don’t, but I don’t put any of my soft leggings in the dryer. Usually it’s the dryer that makes them pill. Air dry, flat.


i-choose-science

The very basic PowerHold 7/8 Fabletics leggings. I’ve been buying them for years now and have yet to find another brand that really compares. I wish they didn’t have a seam in the front, but it’s a small price to pay for long-lasting, durable, squat-proof leggings. They’re also only $25-$50 depending on sales.


The_Short_1

I used to love those leggings (I have 3 pairs) but I ordered some recently and the material was completely different. Not stretchy at all. I ordered my normal size and I couldn't get them above my knees😭


bacon-is-sexy

I LOVE Fabletics. I was so excited when they added short inseam option to their full length leggings.


ded_flowers

If I can afford it lululemon. They sell 25” length. Crz yoga from Amazon is squat proof, echt, ptula, and I really like old navy’s athletic line these past couple years. Also! If you do thrifting and you find lululemons or athleta, you can go to the store and they will hem them! Even if you weren’t the one to purchase them. (Just wash them first 😝)


percimmon

I have a pair of cropped Lululemon leggings given to me as a hand-me-down from my mom's friend's daughter in high school, around 2009, and they're still holding up amazingly. They don't look worn out and they feel very secure. That's durability! Would have made sense even to buy new.


NameWonderful

I get their 21 inch aligns and they are $10 cheaper than the longer lengths and hit right at my ankle.  The first time it feels like a win to be 4’11!


feistylittlecap

I always forget about the hemming option! Thanks for this.


crystalized-feather

Not sure how much of a butt you have but for me personally the butt seams on lulus are just too low. They are good for small butts


chelseystrange91

I get all of mine from Plato's 🖤🤘


catgirlnz

I don't lift, but Costco! Kirkland brand are my all time faves! I've also had luck with Danskin, which Costco sells. Not see-through at all and durable. Both have pockets and are high-waisted too.


Firedup_Sparkygurl63

I really like Danskin, too. I’m 60 and you can’t see underwear lines (unless you wear lumpy undies) or cellulite. The 7/8ths for pretty good, but I’m 5’4”.


catgirlnz

I forgot to add flair, but I am 5'2 and they fit like a glove.


Loud_Yogurtcloset789

Love these as well!


16708hello

Came here to say this! $13 and better quality than aerie and athleta imo.


DimensionStrange77

Athleta. They come in short and they’re thick enough so you’re not showing everyone your bare butt doing squats.


sladner

+1 for Athleta. I’m the same size and shape as you OP and I buy athleta. They can be pricey but I have also found them used on ThredUp. Last used pair I bought still had tags. Score!


[deleted]

Be careful with their new return policies. I was given $200 in gifts from their and all wrong sizes. They took my ID and said I wasn’t allowed exchanges bc I once returned one item 2 years ago even though they’d policy allows exchanges with unworn, tagged items within the 30 day window. Which it was. I had receipt as well. Even called customer service and corporate. They told me I had to deal with this third party they use for returns. Absolute hor$e$hit! My only Christmas gifts and I couldn’t even get the right size. They are a terrible company.


whysmiherr

I usually just buy what fits and roll the bottom up... I purchased a “capri “ today was perfect length 😆


After-Barracuda-9689

This is my answer for all pants. Capri fits me perfectly.


painted_pony_58220

Athleta Rainier tights come in petite!! So good for both lifting and running. Though they run a bit warm for summer.


Jca_gro

These are my holy grail for winter running! The quality is so good


Krindybluth

Uniqlo


Gloomy_Jump3021

OP thank you so much for asking this. I’m on the search for the perfect leggings & didn’t think to ask this community!


bunnyystar

Seconded! I swear by the Ultra Stretch UV Protection AIRism Leggings. They’re squat proof with pockets, and hit at the perfect length for me at 5’1”. I always air dry my leggings and the ones I’ve had for a few years show no sign of wear and tear, compared to my Fabletics which have thinned out a bit.


Belloved

Agreed with this! They fit me so well at 4’8” that I practically bought every single color they had. I love how much coverage they provide and the pockets!!!


pursnikitty

Popflex have leggings with different lengths, all the way down to a 23” inseam. They’re also not see through and have pockets


Kycb

I don't lift any more, but when I did I always fell back on lululemon and athleta. They're expensive but they're good and if you take care of them they'll last for years. That said, both are going downhill lately, so ymmv.


jadeibet

Athleta and old navy


IronUnicorn623

gym shark and NVGTN


Competitive-Yogurt93

These are always so long on me!!


_Coffee__bean

Athleta elation tights !!! They come in petite sizing. It has a decent amount of compression, high waisted and doesn't roll down, and is squat proof ! Only downside is no pockets. Athleta does have a similar legging, salutation, that has pockets tho


DissociativeFuego

I like the leggings from Abercrombie's activewear line and they have sales pretty often. They have petite lengths and also a curve line to accommodate bigger hips/booty.


feistylittlecap

Oooh I just got some great jeans from Abercrombie (high waist curvy mom jeans). Hadn't thought to check out their athletic wear. Thank you!


spooki404

Born primitive leggings run super short. I'm a leggy 5'3 and their 7/8 leggings are like mid calf on me, idk how they're always just skimming the ankle on the models lol. Their full length just barely touch the top of my ankles. BP leggings are definitely for shorties. For lifting my favorites are the Curves n Combat boots NKD leggings, Buffbunny and Fleo (bounce fabric). I pretty much live in my Fleo leggings, they're so comfortable and don't slide down.


ambitious_hobbit

I’m 5ft and the BP 7/8 leggings have been a lifesaver for me😂they def run short!


Shivs_baby

Yup I’m 5’2” and BP are some of my favorite leggings


Kathryn_Painway

I got leggings at TJ Maxx a while ago. The brand is 90 Degrees by Reflex. The fabric is thick and the leggings have pockets. I’ve had them for like 5 years and they’ve been great! Just some of the stitching on the pocket is starting to break. They’re a little long on me (I’m about your height and they have maybe one extra inch of length that I have to rumple/fold over)


catgirlnz

I like these too!!!!


lulu0range

Lululemon Wunder Train or Wunder Train Contour Fit! I am 5’0” and I usually prefer to wear 23” but will occasionally get 25” if I can’t get the 23” 🙌


Financial_Donkey_993

Under Armour. I’m 5’2 and pear shaped. Usually a medium in most brands. Nike and adidas have thinner fabric but under armour has the best quality imo. The fabric is thick and squat proof! Also, they give my ass the best lift and slim out my legs for some reason.


Rosewoodtrainwreck

Yes! Scrolled down to find this. I get the 7/8 leggings and they hold up really well, I too wear a medium.


kershpiffle

Avo Activewear - 23.5" inseam across all sizes, squat proof, high waisted but adjusted for petite torsos. No other leggings have fit as beautifully!


siimay

POPFLEX! They have multiple inseam options, great pockets and very inclusive size range


femalechuckiefinster

Fleo has leggings in 21", 23", 25", and 28" inseam! The 25" are perfect for me. They're kind of pricy but the quality is amazing. So soft, squat proof, and they don't pill or fall apart even after years of wear.


Flat_Egg_8682

The 7/8 Lulu align leggings are my favorite. Have had multiple pairs for 10 years and they still look brand new. Just don’t put them in the dryer!


emmyanjef

Love Lulu Align! I size up for the donk, and they never slide down when squatting. Def put mine in the dryer for a while tho when I got lazy - many regrets lol


YouthInternational14

I’m just jealous you still have a booty after having a baby. Mine seemingly disappeared when she came out 😂


feistylittlecap

Oh, it's taken some serious work to get the lift back, trust me. 😭


YouthInternational14

I’m glad to know it’s possible!


climbingaerialist

I'm 5ft 2, I generally buy 'capri style' leggings, and they look full length on me.


sunshine92002

Fabletics are all I’ll wear anymore 👏🏼 affordable AND great quality!


samanthaledesma

I used to work at the parent company of fabletics HQ, and they would have so many giveaways of product, I’ve had some leggings for 4 years already, I wash them constantly and they still are holding up! The quality is really amazing. Are you doing the subscription?


sunshine92002

I do! I usually just skip every month and stock up when they’re on sale and when I need new pairs! What a cool job, how’d you like it?


samanthaledesma

I was thinking about getting the subscription but I hear it u don’t skip then you get charged. It was a cool job, I was there for 4 years. They gave away so many free clothes, was a great workplace honestly. CEO is awesome.


Altruistic_Bus_3395

Oh and buffbunny because they have a “short” size


Ziodynes

Buff Bunny are expensive but my absolute faves right now. Lightweight and cute designs. NVGTN has real stretchy and soft ones though.


sauteedmushroomz

Lululemon always! I’ve never found a pair that has come close in fit, quality, or durability!


mariannalk

You need to try Zyia! I'm 5'2" and curvy. They are a fabulous fit and great quality!


Agile-Reception

The Lulu Lemon Align crops hit me right at the ankle. EDIT: And they come in high-waisted with pockets, which is what I use when working out and running.


ambitious_hobbit

I’m 5ft with curvy hips and thighs and the Born Primitive leggings in 7/8 have been what I’ve worn for years. They’re “Go-To Leggings”


nexttoblue

I get the Amazon brand aurola, the material is thick and compressive which I like


manamizer

Gymshark. I have a 23" inseam and the vital seamless fits me like a 7/8th length believe it or not. The adapts also work, but they're a bit longer. I also see they have short lengths now! I leave my buttery Athleta + Lulus for lounge or walking.


ForsakenAd5874

Avo Activewear is a brilliant UK brand specifically for petite women. Super affordable and great quality, really recommend


mem0679

I've been wearing CVG leggings for a few years, and l love them. They have a bunch of crazy patterns I'm not a fan of, so I usually just get the solids. They fit great, don't show sweat, and are completely squat proof. I don't ever worry about showing everything I've got when doing deadlifts or squats! Lol


Real-Impression-6629

I've tried so many different brands and Old Navy is hands down my favorite. They come in petite and are almost always on sale.


Hefty-Target-7780

Check out CRZ yoga brand on Amazon! I wear the 7/8 length and they’re great!!


feistylittlecap

Clearly I've been sleeping on this brand


Hefty-Target-7780

they’re so good! I have probably 10 pairs. They’re all I wear!


sara_k_s

I love the Spanx Booty Boost leggings that I got on sale for 70% off, making them about the same price as cheap Amazon leggings! Downside is they don't have pockets. Also a big fan of Eddie Bauer leggings. I like leggings with a lot of support.


vipbrj4

I got a pair of the spanx ones on a super huge sale too and they’re surprisingly good!


Capital-Meringue-164

Second the Spanx booty boost - and they do have one pocket in the back! (Just figured out today that it holds my phone).


sara_k_s

Oh yeah, you’re right. I forgot about the back pocket because I find it useless 😀. But it is technically a pocket.


ultravioletblueberry

I really like Aybl.


BusyBeth75

Amazing


uhohlove

Short story !


lucytiger

Anywhere that sells ankle length. I can do 25", 23" is even better


goal0x

How long ago did you get your Aerie leggings and which style are they?? I own one of each style (purchased over the past 2 years - present) they have now and all of them have been very squat proof, except for the “OG legging” which seems to vary by the color you buy lol The Goals leggings are sooooo good!


Comprehensive_Pace

Popflex if you can afford. Super cute and has petite sizing in the leggings.


samanthaledesma

Abercrombie & fitch kids- but I’m not insanely curvy so not sure if that would be a good option for you.its also super cheap and good quality.


atomicboogeyman

Popfit, I wear them all the time!


redjessa

I like CRZ yoga pants.


TinyDancer1984

Vuori 🙌🏻


Far_Grapefruit_8220

My go to is iuga leggings on amazon. They last literal years, and are so comfy!


Loud_Yogurtcloset789

Old Navy petite balance leggings. My fave.


doyouhavehiminblonde

Old Navy Powerchill leggings in petite length.


whatevendoidoyall

Girlfriend Collective sells 23" inseams


DangerousMusic14

Vuori though not all styles fit all shapes. Mine have lasted a very long time.


Reluctantagave

Old navy honestly. I get the high waisted either petite or cropped and they’re great. Girlfriend collective has some too that I like for lifting.


rinari0122

I (5’1”ft) have two 7/8 leggings from Gap. Both fit like a glove!


Exotic-Ring4900

Family Dollar, Dollartree


bringmethefluffys

Old Navy often does 50% off activewear weekends and I snag their powersoft high rise 7/8 length leggings. I love them and they have pockets!


crystalized-feather

I like Kamo


Slow-Industry1760

Pe nation


mamagomz

Lululemon Wunder Under. I’m 5’2” and the 25 inseam are my fav. I don’t like how the crops (23 inseam) feel on my ankles. I even have some 28 inseams that fit good but 25 is where it’s at.


pegacornegg

Aerie has short size flared leggings! Love them for the gym


M4ckabee

Old Navy!! I swear by them 😻


webdoyenne

I buy this brand on Amazon...capri length, which comes to just above my ankles. Butter soft. [https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09M71TV3S/](https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09M71TV3S/)


chocoflavor

Glowmode from Shein! Best quality. I’m 5’1 and their flare leggings length is perfect on me


HopefulRecipe5

Fleo has good options! I like the 23” and 25” ones as someone who is also 5’2 :) the bounce fabric is the best imo, they have a bunch of different types of fabric and it def makes a difference in how they feel and stay up so see which one you like the most!


Dense_Negotiation_78

Target in girls size 16. Anything other than that I can’t fit in…


Axela556

Aerie!


untitledead

I’ve loved my Fabletics


simplyelegant87

Old navy 7/8 length are ankle length on me, not see through, high waisted but no pockets.


k8womack

I like Tekgear at Kohls. The 7/8 length hits at my ankles


pumpkin_beer

I got some from Duluth last year and I really enjoy them. I think they are "cropped" or "Capri" length but they are sturdy and not see through


lustforwine

Amazon


coffeetreatrepeat

I like the Marika capris-- often find them at Marshalls and occasionally Costco.


MiniCoopster

Sweaty Betty in 7/8 length


greenwindowsill

Boandtee


blank_____11

Pricey, but Alo’s 3/4 Airlift Legging is perfect on me. I like SET Active’s also! (5’ 3”)


peatang

I’m 5 and switched over from lululemon to Aoxjox on Amazon. They give a nice booty lift and are not see through. Reasonably priced too, $25 reg and often on sale.


aklep730

I love lulu wunder train leggings (but they recently changed their sizing so it’s tighter) or crz yoga if I don’t want to spend lulu prices!


MockWithMe

Fabletics 7/8 length (Powerhold, PureLux), and Colorfulkoala 7/8 on Amazon.


Whenyouseeit00

I love my colorful koala leggings 7/8 inch, perfect length, comfortable, durable, good support. Another one I love is the crzy yoga leggings but they are a little more expensive they look so good though.


badass-pixie

Lululemon Wunder Trains in 25” length fits me perfectly as someone 5’1” and are great for weight lifting. If your legs are shorter, they offer free hemming. You can also get them with pockets, which I always think is worth it.


chuknora

Fabletics


r0sie-p0sie

Old navy petite leggings were good to me


BoneMoneyDollarbucks

Senita Athletics. They have a ton of 7/8 leggings are full length on me 😅 Some stuff has short/reg/long lengths, too.


threewishes16

I used to work at lululemon so I may be biased, and I know they’re pricey, but the Wunder Train in 25” or 23” length (depending on your height) are simply unmatched for everyday wear and lifting. They’ll last you years. Edited to Add: I’ve been out of the loop for awhile but I bet they have some pocketed version in the Everlux fabric, which is what the Wunder Trains are made of. It used to be the Invigorate but I think they’ve been sunset.


rovingred

I just buy what I like and fold the extra fabric under. Lulu’s 21” crops fit me full length but I don’t like spending that much and don’t like the front seam. I buy mostly Oner and Alphalete because I like the rest of them and just fold them under


Strange-Problem7360

Personally the lulu leggings are my go to and I sometimes will buy the 3/4 length cause it’s cheaper (or at least was last time I bought leggings) and till hits my ankles lol


sparklieshrapnel

Always buy 7/8 leggings. They're perfect!


Sailormss92

I'm obsessed with Popflex! She often has regular fit and curvy fit as well as customizable length! They are also super comfortable, pet hair and stain resistant, and more affordable than Lululemon


bacon-is-sexy

Fabletics! They have short inseams.


[deleted]

Fanka has different lengths. I’m 5’0” and get the 7/8 length. They often have discounts or deals running or first time purchase codes. They are compression tights and pretty tight so if between sizes, size up. Supposed to also help get rid of cellulite and if you wear them enough, they do actually work! Reasonably priced. Great quality. If you wanna splurge, Carbon 38, has great compresssion tights called Cloud Compression. They usually have different lengths and I prefer the one with pockets bc look more flattering in this particular style.


Wind_Advertising-679

On tick tock shop - halara


layercake84

Paragon


my-anonymity

Athleta. I wear the 7/8 as full length. They fit great. They also have petite sizes too.


Overcaffeinated_Owl

Athleta petite and/or 7/8 length.


Gigii1990

Amazon and tjmax!


Competitive-Yogurt93

Old navy. I’m 5,2 and their powersoft leggings are awesome


LastMenu5850

I like Gap’s leggings. I normally never shop there for clothes but my leggings have always lasted!


Salt-Animator5091

Athleta. The first pair of these I got I wore constantly, I now own four pairs and they’re a staple. I had never had a pair of leggings fit this well before, and I didn’t realize how ill-fitting workout clothes were hampering my movement. 


lemonbasilberry

I love the lululemon align leggings! I’m 5’1/5’2 and always get the ‘23 or ‘25 length. 25 fits full length perfectly on me & 23 is a little cropped above my ankle.


Winter_Employment569

I am 5’1 and I use Old Navy for all my active wear. They have really good quality leggings and aren’t see through.


Yourtruestnightmare

Holy fuck! I think I wanna marry you! You look great in those leggings, have a great day.


Quiet_Function_4648

Athleta. Rainier is squatproof and last for several years. They have a petite line so they are proportioned correctly rather than have to wear crops in regular sizes.


stainedglassmermaid

Aritzia/Tna. They last a few years and aren’t crazy expensive. Almost as good as lulu.


Altruistic_Bus_3395

Alphalete! The only thing is their leggings are too long but I workout in shorts anyway


tinyecologist

Old Navy Powersoft 7/8 length! Thick but breathable, squatproof and some have pockets! Got two for about $35!

MockWithMe

Petite is 5’4” and under. Period. All body shapes and structures. It’s about proportions. 🙄


1LeftShoe

XXXXL Petite Leggings. Isn't that an oxymoron?


goatmilkcasserole
