What would the best workout clothes for petites look like? Snug on the waist and not too long at the ankles. But most leggings for petite girls lack in one of these departments. Being shorter than the average female population, we pay the price with leggings bunched up at our ankles. Add the loose waist and you have the perfect distraction during workouts. To combat that, we have 6 selected leggings and yoga pants to complement your workout routines while making you all comfortable in your skin.

The best 6 workout leggings for petite girls

1 Everlane Perform Legging

They feel super comfortable and snug around the waist. With its super high rise in the front, you could test them during a HIIT/weights work out and they would stay put with flying colors. They also have a longer back rise measurement which I personally found more comfortable. This would be especially comforting for the ones luckier in the butt department as the back rise provides perfect support. The ankle length too is satisfactory but might be a problem for the shorter folks.

2 Lovely Fit Petite Yoga Pant

Just because something is a petite size doesn’t always mean that it’s pear-friendly too. But these leggings surely are perfect as they fit so well in the waist! No need to worry about them falling down during workouts. The fabric deserves a special mention as it is so incredibly soft. Its touch and feel set this yoga pant a class apart.

3 Alo Yoga 7/8 High-Waist Airbrush Legging

While Alo Yoga doesn’t offer petite sizes, but their 7/8 legging option are a perfect for petites. The length does not allow the fabric to bunch up at the ankles and is very comfortable.

Its fabric further adds to comfort levels. They feel more like traditional knit leggings, giving it a snug feel at the waist. They hug the waist so well you don’t have to worry about them sliding down.

4 Girlfriend Collective Midnight High-Rise Leggings

The fabric deserves a special mention as it is so incredibly soft. Its touch and feel set this yoga pant a class apart.

5 Avo Activewear Petite Senara Legging

The rise of these leggings is very high which enables easy movement of the body. Sweat and moisture does not ruin the fit of these leggings as the cling to the body further. They hug the waist nicely, which is perfect for pear-shaped petite ladies.

Similar to the Alo Yoga leggings, these had more of knit feel. These do have a better popularity to be worn for yoga classes than for going on runs.

6 Athleta Elation 7/8 Tight In Powervita

The 7/8 length is a nice length for petite girls in workout clothes. Though these are a little loose around the waist, they sit tightly against the body. Thus they can be easily preferred and worn for sweaty workouts or even a long stretching session.
