The Best Petite Travel Pants at Nordstrom’s Sale

The moment the weather starts to warm up, I want to spend as much time outside as possible. Sometimes that means taking a walk to a local park for a picnic, but it also includes making plans for a fun trip to a new city. Either way, I know that I need my spring wardrobe to include comfortable, versatile pieces that make it easy to be on the go all season long. 

At 5-foot-2, closet staples include pants that fit correctly and don’t require the extra effort of hemming or cuffing for the correct length. That said, I make a point to shop for petite-friendly styles that are perfectly proportional, and I spotted so many linen options in Nordstrom’s sale section. Below, check out linen travel pants I’m eyeing from top brands like Vince, Rails, and Free People.

Free People High Road Pull-On Linen Blend Barrel Pants

Whether I’m running out of the house for breakfast, to walk my dog, or to head down to the beach on vacation, I need pairs of pants that are casual yet still look put together. This barrel style from Free People meets that exact criteria, and they come in two spring-ready colors. One shopper who is also 5-foot-2 called these the ideal “airy summer pants,” adding that they “hit at [their] ankle.” 

Splendid Angie Crop Wide Leg Pants

A typically foolproof method for finding petite-fitting pants is to opt for already-cropped styles. This pair of drawstring pants is designed to hit at the ankle, which you can assume will be full length on shorter legs. Plus, they have an elastic waistband, and one shopper called them “comfortable and light enough for the summer months.” Another shopper who is 5-foot-3 also noted that they are “great for travel.”

Vince Ticking Stripe Crop Flare Linen & Cotton Pants

I love having pairs of lightweight pants that I can throw on for casual errands or days by the pool, but it’s also important for my wardrobe to incorporate styles that are dressy enough for dinner or a night out. This pair of cropped flare pants from Vince is the best of both worlds and is currently on sale for 25 percent off.
