Hey ladies. Curious as to your favorite brands of workout pants and capris. 5'1 here 34/25/37 so I'm a pear. Sigh. Any recommendations? Brands you suggest? Hate having the leggings and pants be so long can't find anyone with a good petite section. And tired of spending even more money getting everything tailored. Thank you :)

    I'm 5'2". I have a pair from C9 that hit right below my knees and another from Moving Comfort that are a tiny bit longer (top of calf). My Brooks running leggings are also the right length for me, not bunchy at the bottom.

    I buy stuff from Walmart. It's cheap and it's cute. You can check the juniors section if the petite are too big.

    I just bought a cute pair at Gap. Even their long yoga and workout pants come in lengths, such as ankle, so shorter women can wear them.

    Jodphurs and knee boots are the only workout gear I own. Only exercise I do is ride my horse. Much better than crossfit :P

    They aren't really workout pants, but I often wear LL Bean Perfect Fit pants in the winter. They look like cotton slacks, but have a bit of stretch. Great for roller blading and other outdoor workouts, and I even wear them to the gym sometimes. I have short legs, and they come in petite sizes.

    Lulu's. Preferably in white. You'll look great, I guarantee it.

    I've been quite pleased with the yoga and compression pants and capris I've gotten from Old Navy. They seem to have some fun new prints now...although the last thing I need is more workout gear.

    Target C9 come in petite length. The fabric bothers me though.
